Eric and Julie await to provide you a very warm welcome. Set in the centre of the Poitou Charentes. This traditional Logis set in the beautiful countryside surrounding the Boutonne valley, close to local amenities in the very popular market town of Chef Boutonne. Originally built as a Manor house with vineyard in the Mid 19th Century, this imposing Logis later became a working farm and more recently restored to provide a detached Owners maison de maitre and four quality self-catering Gites The Logis is approached along a private tree lined avenue, offering ample shaded parking, through grand entrance gates into a fountain courtyard. The farmhouse and four holiday cottages are around the main courtyard and each has their own private gardens. The four cottages share a secured 10 x 5m swimming pool and a second swimming pool 8 x 4m. Both swimming pools overlook the south facing gardens where there is boule, badminton, short tennis and swings. In the Grange, an open barn, there is a common games room including table tennis, pool table and bar football. All racquet and games equipment is provided.
