Domaine les Reigniers

Our charming 18th-century Domain is a sanctuary of tranquillity. Ideally located, with a large and calm garden, a private swimming pool, and plenty of entertainment provided, it is the perfect environment to spend time with your family across seasons. Important: As a house rule, parties and events are not allowed. Le Domaine des Reigniers combines ancient charm and modern comfort. Throughout the eight years of renovation, the owner and the architect's main focus was to preserve the details of the 18th-century property. The first thing you will be amazed by when entering the property is the beautiful and peaceful garden of 1 hectare. It is completely private with many hangout areas, including a large swimming pool with an amazing view over the vineyard hills (open during summer and between April and October). When the night falls, you will be able to enjoy the lighting, which nicely lights up the swimming pool and the terrace with a large size Weber barbecue (gas), to ensure your dinner a full success. Even better: all the ground floor is connected with a SONOS sound system to which your phone, tablet, or/and computer can be connected to play music. The house also offers plenty of activities for children: a home cinema, a small baby inflatable swimming pool, many toys and a bike for baby’s aged of +24 months. The house offers multiple lounge areas as well as a Pool room where you will find a large (9 feet) brand new mahogany snooker table. This room also has a piano! The thing that really distinguishes our property is the famous Distillery room, a heritage from the region’s tradition. We converted the old distillery into a lounge and restored the old copper pot. So come to this room to enjoy the calm and relaxing atmosphere with a cigar, some cognac, and a nice movie on the large TV screen! The long Wine Cellar hallway, which we call the “gallery” is where the wine of Le Domaine des Reigniers used to be stored. You can still see the old wine tanks and some beautiful paintings, getting you in the atmosphere of an old French wine estate. For those who enjoy reading during holidays, or those who need some moment to stay alone and meditate, the second floor of the house offers a working area and a library on the mezzanine. The swimming pool is available from May to October. Please note that as a house rule parties and events are not allowed. Guests have access to the whole house The domain is located in the small peaceful village of Angeac-Champagne in the heart of the vineyards, near Cognac (10-15 min by car) and Angoulême (30-40 min by car). You'll be in harmony with nature and far far away from the noise and stress of the city. Your stay at Le Domaine Les Reigniers will also offer a unique way to discover the cultural richness and the natural beauty of the Charente’s region.
