Charming 2 bedroom Gîte nestled in a peaceful hamlet surrounded by countryside and woodlands. Unwind and listen to the birds. Or explore the wildlife on show, with hawks, pheasants and even deers.
Enjoy zero road noise and a magnificent ceiling of stars in a calm, picturesque setting.
Despite being secluded, we're still close to amenities. The local shop is 3km and a supermarket is 10 mins away. You can reach Bordeaux or Atlantic beaches in less than an hour. See our Guide Book for more info.
The space
This charming Charentaise long house has been renovated to offer guests a modern 2 bedroom accommodation with an abundance of character. The stylish interior complements a rugged and wild outdoors to create this idyllic retreat in the French countryside.
The master bedroom benefits from a king size bed. The second room has two single beds and a small desk. Towels and linen are included. On the ground floor we have an open plan kitchen diner with a charming wood-fired log burner. We provide a complimentary basket of wood for your first night's stay.
Our house is perched on top of a picturesque valley in Saint Georges des Agouts. The tranquil destination is surrounded by fields, vineyards, and woodlands to explore. A short walk gives you breathtaking views across the Gironde estuary.
Despite being nestled in the countryside, you'll be pleased to know the property benefits from high-speed fibre internet.
As well as charming views in the area, there is also lots of sightseeing on offer. The estuary, local wildlife, wine tasting and cognac chateaux, cities such as Bordeaux and La Rochelle or atmospheric locations such as Talmont sur Gironde.
Guest access
Easy access to the gite with parking right at the front.
Please note, the gite itself doesn't overlook the valley because it is on the other side of the house.
(We also have a glamping dome available on Airbnb, which does overlook the valley and fields, should you wish to wake up to the view)
We live just next door so you will be sharing outdoor spaces with our family and pets, including chickens.
However, privacy is also provided with your own private garden and terrace which you can enjoy all to yourself.
We do allow small dogs (chihuahua, yorkshire terrier etc). If you are bringing a small dog, (or just don't like chickens!) please let us know.
