An elegant house with ancient roots and a shimmering pool – explore the Charente countryside, drive to lovely Angoulême

Through electronic gates to your peaceful retreat. The house has been beautifully restored and is filled with a gorgeous mix of antiques and modern pieces – all enhanced by a good art collection. Spread out over a large drawing room with plenty of quiet reading spots, a dining room, a snug with a big TV for rainy days and a roomy kitchen with plenty of kit.

Bedrooms, all upstairs, are light and airy with shutters, gorgeous bed linen, tranquil colours and plenty of pillows. Two are en suite and two share a family bathroom. If you fall in love with any of the objets d'art, clocks, mirrors or pictures you see, you can buy them to take home.

Spill outdoors on sunny days to the pretty terrace with another big table, enjoy sunsets with a barbecue (you're left champagne and local pineau), practise your yoga in the open-sided studio, ask for a massage – all can be arranged. It's 3km to the bakery for morning croissants and baguettes.

Local points of interest from Jason Griffiths:

Punti d'interesse locali da
Jason Griffiths:

Angouleme is a lively cultural city 25km away with several festivals - the International Comics Festival, Film, Music and Circuit des Remparts. Great restaurants including La Cour and Le Lion Rouge. Vibrant covered market Les Halles has much local produce.
The Charente river provides our dept name. 15 mins away, one of the many local walks follows part of its course. Kayak from Mansle, 10km away. Further upstream is scenic Verteuil with Restaurant Jeux de Pots for the perfect end to a stroll through village.
Cognac, home of brandy, is 45km away. A perfect city to wander before stopping at a bistro - favourites include Le Bistrot de Claude or Poulpette. No visit is complete without a tasting tour, we recommend a visit to Jean-Luc Pasquet.
La Rochefoucauld - no trip to France is complete without a visit to a château. The La Rochefoucauld family have owned the château since 980. Nearby restaurant Chez Steph specialises in Limousin beef and good wine, and La Chocolaterie d'Antan is close too.
La Rochelle and the islands are 125km. La Rochelle's old harbour is picturesque and lined with seafood restaurants. Nearby Ile de Ré and Ile d'Oléron accessed by bridges have many sandy beaches whilst stunning Ile d'Aix and Ile Madame are accessed by boat.
Saint Amant de Boixe is 3km, so well within cycling or walking distance. It has the best local supermarket, a boulangerie and our favourite restaurant, Auberge de l'Abbaye. We also provide passes to all our guests to the tennis courts in the village.
