Neighborhood highlights

Nestled in peaceful hills of southern Charente with Aubettere, chosen as one of the most beautiful villages in France, just a stone's throw away, La Colline d!e Tilleul gites are perfect cosy hide away to unwind, slow down and recharge. For a family vocation, romantic getaway, some me-time all by yourself or to work on a creative project. Relax in 1.5 acres of gently sloping gardens and meadow, with fruit, nut and lime trees for shade. Enjoy the views from the hilltop down the valley, looking over sunflowers and meadows towards a small lake, distant woods and fields. Admire the incredibly starry skies we get here, the Milky Way is clearly visible and shooting stars put on nightly shows. This is Cognac, vineyard and Pineau country with specialities of foie gras, melon and chestnut dishes. We are around in case you would need us.

We have 3 holiday homes available for you; all are of traditional Charentaise stone and red tile construction, renovated and fully equipped. The cottages are well separated from each other and there is plenty of space for privacy. You will have your own BBQ and terrace to enjoy al-fresco dining. The large heated swimming pool (open June-September) is 12 x 6 metres, sloping from 1m to 2m deep, floodlit and terraced. Other facilities include table tennis, full-size pool table, bikes, croquet, Badminton, a Petanque piste, swings, selection of board games, etc.

Les Deux Puits is a dog-friendly cottage to bring the pup along or a romantic place for a couple with a private terrace, whether or not on honeymoon. At the moment the cottage is being completely redecorated, so the photographs of the inside don't give it a justice. If you want to make a surprise for your loved one or celebrate an important occasion, we can make it extra special for you. The studio cottage is around 35m² and includes a main room with kitchen area, dining area, private terrace, bedroom area and separate shower room with toilet. It is overlooking the pool and orchard, distant views of sunflowers and meadows, a small lake, woods and fields. It is exceptionally light and airy, with two window seats and a private balcony with al fresco dining set. It has been converted from the old Cooper's Workshop which once maintained the barrels for the farm when it was producing 10,000 litres of Vins de Pays each year! The building is of traditional Charentaise construction of partly-exposed stone, crepis and oak beams.

You can take a bike to explore the surrounding area, pop in for a coffee or lunch in the square of beautiful Aubeterre, visit its breathtaking, and Europe's largest underground monolithic church, or have fun swimming and canoeing on river Dronne. The nearest supermarket is 10 minutes drive away, in Chalais, with its chateau, shops, bars, restaurants, weekly farmers market and the most delicious almond croissant from the Boulangerie La Petrisane (opposite Lidl).

Other activities nearby: golf, tennis, river and lake swimming, cycling, fishing, kayaking, shopping at local farmers markets (including night markets in summers), wine and cognac testing etc.

And within an easy drive … Cognac, Brantome, Brossac, Paradou, St Aulaye, Bonnes, Riberac, Montboyer, Montmoreau, Les Essards, Villebois Lavalette, La Rochebeaucourt et Argentine, Mareuil, Pons, Jarnac, Bourdeilles, St Emilion, Bergerac, Periqueux, Barbezieux, Jonsac, Angouleme, Confolens, Bordeaux etc. Once you arrive you will receive a comprehensive guide to things to do, places to visit, guidebooks and websites to consult etc.

The cottages are self-catering and you will have an equipped kitchen. You will find all we feel you need, from the highest quality bedding and towels, handmade soap, to tea, coffee, herbs and spices, so you can enjoy your escape to the country to the fullest. For longer stays you can expect a welcome basket as well. Upon request, we offer breakfast and meals which we serve at your cottage. Happy to share more when you are here.
