Three stone retreats, one private domaine

The Gîtes

Three gîtes.
Each one entirely its own.

Maison Juliette, Maison Olivier, and L'orangerie each occupy their own wing of the domaine - restored stone buildings with their own history, their own character, and their own private terraces. Whether you're travelling as two or as a group, there is a gîte made for you.

The Domaine

Shared gardens. Private retreats.

All three gîtes open onto the shared grounds of the domaine - ancient stone walls, mature gardens, and the unhurried pace of the Charente. Each stay is entirely private, with your own terrace, your own entrance, and the quiet of the countryside all around.
