Maison De Maitre Gite in Beautiful Countryside

Property Description

Beautifully renovated Maison de Maitre set in large gardens with an indoor contra-current pool.jacuzzi in a small hamlet.

Originally used as our family home for 11 years. For the last couple of years healthy lifestyle retreats have been popular at the property, as well as it being successfully let out as a gite. There have been full bookings through the summer and many more at other times of the year. It is good for the holiday breaks because the weather here is nice from April until the end of October. This year it was t-shirt and shorts weather in February! Furthermore, there are also some very popular local events which attract visitors from afar, including the Bandes Dessinees (comic strip) festival at the end of January, as well as various music festivals throughout the year and the Ramparts in Angouleme in September.
