Officially rated 3 star by Charente Tourisme, our lovely self contained Gite has been fully refurbished for opening in 2022. It is situated on the edge of the beautiful village of Edon in The Charente and is approached via the village of La Rochebeaucourt. The Gite which is attached but separate to the main house is located on a quiet no through road and is surrounded by beautiful countryside and woodland.
Ideally located for many beautiful towns and attractions, close by are Villebois Lavelette, Brantome and Auberterre all within easy reach. Angouleme is only 25 minutes drive away so ideal for the festivals including the famous Circuit des Ramparts classic car races in Angouleme

It was a pleasure to welcome Terry and Wendy to our Gite and we are glad they enjoyed their stay. We hope to see them again in the future
Where to start...what a beautiful property in an equally beautiful location. From the booking to arriving at the property lines of communication were always welcomed and help was always offered. We arrived quite late and shown into an immaculately warm and cosy gite with all the amenities you could ask for - a lovely welcome basket and a chilling bottle of Rose. We slept wonderfully in a very comfortable bed and actually only saw the gite in its splendour the following morning where we awoke to nothing but tranquility and peace and beautiful surroundings. A short walk from a boulangerie and a ten minute drive to a large supermarket where we stocked up on provisions for the week. A beautiful area with nothing but helpful hosts and French pastries!! Plenty to see in this area with chateaus, castles and a surprising find of an old French Demarcation post from the 2nd World War. Our stay was wonderful and we shall definitely return. Much love Helen & Chris

For the perfect countryside location but in a great location to see many beautiful places in the surrounding area. We can recommend many restaurants to try and all within a 5 to 30 minute drive as well as 3 within walking distance. The village boulangerie is also just a walk away.
