Set in a peaceful and tranquil position, this gite is in the grounds of an historic chateau. Built of stone the accommodation stays cool in the summer and is very cosy in the winter having the benefit of two log burners, radiators in the main rooms and underfloor heating in the bathroom. The gite is very spacious, 75m2, and sleeps 2 people . There is a large double bedroom , kitchen and beautiful vaulted living room. There is also a modern bathroom with large shower cubicle and double basin. You can enjoy a private terrace and also have sole use of the large walled garden. There are walking routes close by, an equestrian centre within walking distance and a golf course a 5 minute drive away. We have bicycles which can be used to go slightly further afield, maybe to visit the famous stone carvings at Port d'envaux, where it is also a popular spot for river swimming and the hire of kayaks and small boats. We are close to the Roman town of Saintes with historic sites, including the Roman ampitheatre, Arc germanicus, Abbaye au Dames and the Cathedral of St Pierre. The old town and the river are very picturesque with an abundance of bars, restaurants and shops. There is even a small animal enclosure in the town park which has music events in the summer and a christmas market every year.
We live and work at the chateau and enjoy working in the grounds and vegetable garden. We have two miniature sheep and free range hens, which keep us and our guests supplied with eggs.
The property is a 10 minute drive to the Roman town of Saintes with its ampitheatre, river, shops and restaurants. Within 40 minutes you can reach the main beach at Royan, with many other smaller beaches along the coast line. La Rochelle with its picturesque port and airport is 1 hr away. There are many lovely villages to visit close by and a huge choice of chateaux open to the public. Port d'envaux is 10 minutes away , with its beautiful river side setting which is popular for swimming, kayak and boat hire. There are plenty of walks around our local area through sunflower, corn fields and woods. A car is very useful here and there are bicycles for guests to use.
