About this property

Stunning Converted Stone Barn In Quintessential French Village

Styled more on a boutique hotel than a traditional French gite - A fantastic use of stone, bleached wood and light contemporary furnishings along with a roof terrace perfect for an alfresco breakfast or wine and cheese as you watch the sun go down makes Le Batiment a very special place to stay. The house is converted from a traditional stone barn and stands in the small, peaceful and very pretty French village of Puymoreau. The village is surrounded by the rolling countryside of the Charente Maritime region, bordered by vibrant sunflower fields. All the old features of exposed stone walls and original beams have been carefully preserved but the finish is light, airy and contemporary to give a comfortable living space with all modern comforts. We believe that time away is precious and we want our guests to have the best experience possible

Great little hideaway.
Lesley and her husband are just the best hosts. Booked us into a few restaurants on arrival for the first few nights. Above and beyond! Lovely barn conversion, very comfortable all modern conveniences can't recommend them or the area highly enough! Wonderful.

Decevant
Nice house, awful spot: you can hear the traffic on the A10 motorway, the view from each terrace is the neighbour's messy garden and the dirty camper van, and the house is not in a village but in a hamlet (not even a baker's). The rental price is far too high given the surroundings. We left after one day of our stay and received a disappointing response from the owner. Would not recommend. Belle maison, endroit horrible: on entend la circulation de l'autoroute A10, depuis chaque terrasse on voit le jardin en désordre et le camping-car sale du voisin, et la maison n'est pas dans un village mais dans un hameau (même pas une boulangerie). Le prix de la location est beaucoup trop élevé compte tenu de l'environnement. Nous sommes partis après un jour de notre séjour et avons reçu une réponse décevante du propriétaire. Je ne recommande pas.

Bon séjour reposant
Nous avons passé un séjour reposant dans un village isolé à la campagne mais néanmoins proche de l'océan et des marais poitevins. Maison de pierre avec mezzanine et 2 salons. Très agréable à vivre et cosy le soir avec un éclairage chaud et un petit feu de bois. Un petit bémol, une paroie de douche est nécessaire dans la seconde salle de bain .

About the host

Hosted by Lesley

Host profile image
We have owned our home in France for over 20 years and 10 years ago we converted one of our stone barns to create Le Batiment. We love this house and this beautiful part of France with its lovely climate and look forward to helping you to explore it too...

Why they chose this property

We think this is the perfect area in France to own a house. It has more sunshine than any other region of France after Provence but is less crowded and more unspoilt than the South Coast. We are set amongst farmland and sunflower fields but just 30 minutes from the coast.

What makes this property unique

Le Batiment was designed to be a home away from home. We designed it based on our own experience . We believe that time away is precious and we want you to relax and enjoy your stay in lovely surroundings.
