We can also arrange to have shopping delivered at the start of your stay.
L'Ecurie, recently renovated, and yet retain much of its original character and charm, with solid oak beams, exposed stonework and plenty of rural architectural features, is the perfect place to stay for a peaceful and relaxing holiday.
The private driveway and entrance are alongside the fruit garden of the main house. The kitchen/living/dining area is open plan and fully equipped, with double doors which lead directly onto a private terrace and the beautifully landscaped pool area beyond.
Its two bedrooms - one twin, one double - are in what would once have been the attic. Adjacent and enclosed on three sides is a mezzanine providing an additional shady lounge area with TV. It includes a daybed that can be used by additional guests.
The Pool is open from April to November and is 9x4m and 1.5m deep, it is fully fenced for the all important safety of children and has poolside sun loungers for your comfort.
L'Ecurie's own terrace has tables, chairs and a BBQ and is planted with olive bushes and lavender. Separately it has a private orchard with cherries, peaches and almond trees most delicious and as fresh as it comes, please help yourself.
The village of Migron is truly historic and has at it heart the Romanesque church and a natural spring and a communal washing station. It has its own baker within five minutes walk from the property, a mini-market complete with a tiny coffee shop, post office and hairdresser. Pizza vans make scheduled visits and there are weekly food stalls.
The properties are within 20 minutes of the historic towns of Cognac, Saintes and St Jean D'Angely. Each has elegant squares, parks, good shopping, great food, lovely bars... and the largest supermarkets. Even closer are the villages of Burie (5 minutes) and Matha (10 minutes) with supermarkets, cafes and a range of shops.
The beautiful sandy beaches of Royan are 40 mins away. Also close by are Rochefort, Ile d'Oleron, La Rochelle and just a bit further the beautiful Ile de Re. Near the coast are massive areas of sea marshes, nature reserves with egrets, storks and coypu. Other attractions nearby include an excellent aquarium at La Rochelle, two water-slide parks & France's largest zoo, La Palmyre Zoo.
Every village and town has a local market, inevitably with fresh seafood - and vegetables and cheeses - piled high. Each village too will have a summer festival weekend and Cognac has an international music festival which attracts the biggest names, but also has music in every cafe and the pedestrianised streets.
