Gite retreats in château grounds - welcoming and wonderful for young families. Build castles in the sandpit, make friends around the pool

This 15th-century château sits at the heart of a small Charentais village; you can see its turret as you emerge from the woods. Six gites await in the outbuildings, spacious, simple and comfortable, with scatter rugs on shiny floors and welcome hampers to get you going.

But the grounds are the thing: acres of rolling gardens complete with sheep, goats, guinea pigs and chickens, laid to lawn, scented with roses, and heaped with treats for children. There are swings, slides, trampoline, boules, two pools (lightly chlorinated, heated by solar-panels, one for tinies), and a play barn stocked with everything. Pop out for croissants; take breakfast to your patio.

Nearby is Villebois-Lavelette, perched on its hill, with a characterful 17th-century market abuzz every Saturday; look out for confit and truffles. Don't miss the lovely beach-lake at St Aulaye, a half hour drive, or the Venice of the Périgord, beautiful Brantôme.

Local points of interest from the Owners:

Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
the Owners:

  • We can recommend and help to arrange everything from: local river beaches and lakes, animal attractions and farm visits, market days, visits to local vineyards and cognac houses and fishing spots.
  • A casual canoe down slow, winding rivers is very popular in this part of France, and it’s easy to see why – it’s great fun for all the family. You can also cool off, with a great choice of safe, sandy beaches to choose from.
  • Why not fully relax and switch off during your stay with a massage. We work with a local, highly experienced masseuse who can come to the château and offer a variety of massages in the comfort of your own gîte.
  • Away from our own wine tasting evening at the château, why not taste some local Cognac? Just 45 mins away, you will find Hennessy, Martell, Courvoisier, and Remie Martin who all open their doors to the public and have fantastic guided tours and tastings.
  • This part of France has more châteaux per head than any other, so why not visit some of them? There are lots to see nearby, offering both guided and unguided tours. We also have one of only three monolithic churches in France at the end of our village.
  • Visit our local markets and our favourite farms for produce as fresh as it comes. Brantome is a must see. Known as "the Venice of the Perigord" this charming medieval town is cradled in the arms of the River Dronne. Visit the vibrant market on Friday.
