Photos and Description of the Charente vacation farmhouse rental 7 Bedrooms, 5 Bathrooms, 2 Kitchens, Huge Lounge, great for big groups

This beautifully renovated spacious house, which is full of character, has many stone walls and beamed ceilings. It is uniquely situated opposite a night-lit 12th Century church (rarely used these days, only for an occasional wedding or funeral) and 13th Century turreted Chateau (not open to the public). Set in a quiet rural hamlet, amidst the beautiful rolling sunflower fields and vineyards of the Charente. You are well positioned for touring this lovely region (Angouleme, Cognac and the wine regions of Bordeaux, and St Emilion are a short drive away) or it is ideal for just relaxing the days away soaking up the sun in the loungers by the pool.

Further details for this vacation farmhouse rental in Charente, France

7 well appointed bedrooms and 5 bathrooms make this property an ideal option for a large family gathering, a group of friends getting together, or two or three families sharing a holiday, or perhaps one family that wants to have plenty of individual space. The house has two kitchens, both fully equipped (one with a large fireplace and wood burning stove) and with tables that will seat 6/8 people. The kitchens both lead out to the large back garden, which has paved terraces, a stone barbecue and 8mX4m swimming pool. The 500 square foot lounge, has a large fireplace reaching up to the cathedral ceiling some 30 feet above, it is a great place to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet of the village, especially at night as the view out of the windows in the exposed stone walls is of the night lit Church and Chateau opposite.

The lounge also has a minstrels gallery which is a lovely area to sit quietly and read or just take a nap and provides a lovely comfortable area to relax in while the children of all ages enjoy the games and TV room. A large formal atmospheric dining room seats 14 and gives the option of having all of your group sitting down at one time to make dinners a special event, although you may wish to have less formal dinners and snacks either around the large table on the outside terrace or in the smaller tables in one of the kitchens. There are two upstairs areas and these both have three bedrooms and two bathrooms, there is another additional bedroom (with two double beds) and a large family bathroom on the ground floor. Visit our website to see lots of pictures of the house and its facilites.
