La Villa at Le Courty - Self-catering house in Charente-Maritime
La Villa at Le Courty, 17800 Perignac, Charente-Maritime
Poitou - Charentes,
Francia
On the top of a small hill near the village of Pérignac is a tiny hamlet and this, an old cognac farm. Its creamy cluster of beautiful buildings includes the owners' home, a few barns and, on the other side of a courtyard, your one-storey retreat. Named 'La Villa' by Annette and Mark – it's gorgeous! All is on one floor, open plan and spacious. The views are far-reaching over vineyards and fields. The light, airy living room is tasteful and unfussy with an Asian/French fusion decor: stone walls, terracotta floors, a seagrass sofa and armchair, and a wonderful antique Javanese carved interior wall. The air-conditioned bedroom has a teak four-poster, wrapped in crisp linen and draped with cream muslin, cool and serene. Bowl basins have been hand-carved from stone, the corner bath is a bubbling jacuzzi, and there are two showers – one being of the private, walled outdoor variety! Canoe on the Charente, visit the coast and the islands of Ré and Oléron, let the town of Cognac charm you. Then it's back to a glass of wine in the hammock, a romantic supper in the teak pavilion, and a midnight splash in your own solar heated pool.

Local points of interest from Mark & Annette Gray:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Mark & Annette Gray:
- Our guests love dining in their very own wooden pavilion overlooking both the vineyard and the private pool. A summer salad, a glass of chilled wine, and freshly baked bread from our local bakery - it’s the perfect recipe for a romantic dinner for two!
- The local ‘guinguettes’ (pop-up summer cafés) on the Charente riverbank tend not to be found in the usual guides. You’ll love spending lunchtimes or balmy summer evenings savouring the tastes and special vibes that abound at these simple summer eateries!
- Dine at the popular little café in the village, or in the square by the towering C12th castle keep in nearby Pons. In Cognac, as well as the famous brandy houses, you’ll find a large selection of restaurants, including charming eateries on the riverbank.
- Charming Talmont-sur-Gironde - 45 mins away. One of France’s official ‘most beautiful villages’, explore its car-free streets lined with hollyhocks, pastel-coloured homes, shops and cafés; and admire its C12 church perched on rocks overlooking the estuary.
- Visit the beautiful Atlantic coast: La Rochelle, Fouras, or Royan and neighbouring beaches; or spend an unforgettable day on the beach at Ile d'Oléron sampling local oysters; or join the jet set on the sandy beaches and in the quaint villages of Ile de Ré.
- You’ve heard of the Medoc on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, but have you also heard of the citadel town of Blaye on the right bank? Enjoy exploring the superb citadel yourself or take one of the paid tours, followed by lunch overlooking the estuary.
