Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Charente, France

Anam Cara (Celtic 'soul friend') is a place to restore & refresh the spirit. A chance for a real change of pace. Whether you want to be active in town, or in stunning countryside rich in wildlife, or whether you prefer peace & relaxation at home, Anam Cara & the Ruffecois area offers you a warm welcome & everything you could need for a memorable and rejuvenating holiday in one of the sunniest parts of France. There's plenty to do at home. You have a very large lawned garden with a grapevined suntrap patio dining area, as well as areas of shade under fig, beech, pear, cherry, magnolia & medlar trees. Children have space to explore & play safely & there is a covered sandpit for younger children. You can play badminton & other games, laze in the hammock listening to birdsong, or cool off in the private above-ground pool. Anam Cara is not part of a gite complex: You have private & exclusive use of all facilities.

In the evening, help yourself to some parsley, rosemary, basil, thyme, garlic, onions or tomatoes to add to your meal, turn on the garden lights & relax in the warmth as you dine outdoors under the stars. A very short walk takes you to tennis courts, bar, restaurant, vineyard or sunny woods, fields & country lanes. Well equipped & well furnished self-catering accommodation. There are two attractive, light & airy double bedrooms, both with clothes storage, bedside tables & reading lights. All household linen is provided & your bed is made up before you arrive.
