About this property

Rural Gîtes & Private Pool : Countryside retreat for 2 or 4 adults

Fancy a break in the heart of rural Charente? Staying on an old farmstead, surrounded by nothing but farms, fields, vines and trees. In a sleepy commune of only 100 residents, a peaceful and tranquil holiday is assured.
Les Chagnasses has two lovely Gîtes available to rent.

Book Les Chagnasses for two adults, and you will be staying in The Stables Gîte. And you will be the only guests, enjoying exclusive use of all the amenities.
The Stables is a spacious two room Gîte with everything you need for the perfect holiday. Your kitchen area is fully equipped with a cooker, hob, microwave, fridge and dishwasher. Your lounge area has a large Chesterfield sofa, Smart TV, breakfast bar, dining table and pellet burner. Your bedroom has a king size four poster bed, wardrobe and drawers, plus silent fan. There's also an ensuite shower room with washing machine, WC and towel dryer.
You have a private swimming pool, with summer lounge, terrace and lawns. We encourage you to use the lounge as an extension of your Gîte. There’s a comfy sofa, picnic table, fridge freezer, microwave, coffee machine, Internet radio/CD player, books, jigsaws and board games. Take your lunch and your towels, and enjoy a day by the pool.
You also have a Games Room with table tennis, darts, boules and cornhole.
Next door you have Le Rodin, your self-serve bar area with indoor and outdoor seating, private BBQ, firepit and Adirondack chairs.
You also have your own private gardens, fields and woodland with picnic tables and benches.

Book Les Chagnasses for four adults, and the second couple will be staying in The Pigeonnier Gîte. The four of you will have exclusive use of all the amenities.
The Pigeonnier is a self-contained, all in one holiday home. You have a large living area with king size four poster bed, wardrobes and drawers, comfy Chesterfield sofa, Smart TV, dining table and pellet burner. You have a separate kitchenette with fridge, microwave, coffee machine and small hob. Next door you have a shower room with washing machine, WC and towel dryer.

Whether there’s just the two of you, or you wish to invite friends or family, Les Chagnasses is a wonderful place to relax, unwind and reconnect with nature.

Your hosts, Mike & Claire, live in the old farmhouse. We're close by if you need us, always happy to help, but the host and guest areas have been carefully divided, and you may well feel that you are completely on your own!

Vacation in style

We had an amazing holiday at Les Chagnasses Rural Gites. This year we searched for a quiet and peaceful holiday and we got everything we wanted. It is a realy peaceful place and everything was clean, taken good care off and there is so much to do. The eye for detail that the owners have is absolutely amazing and lifts the experience up even more. We can only recommend it! Thank you for the peace and help.

Les Chagnasses

A wonderful relaxing rural location with exceptional facilities. Could not have been better. Mike and Claire were welcoming, helpful and unintrusive. I don’t usually do reviews but make exceptions when merited as is very much the case with Les Chagnasses.

Blissful

We were looking for peace and quiet and Les Chagnasses was the perfect place for this - we loved everything about it. The accommodation was beautiful and had everything we needed to cater for ourselves and sleep really well. Mike and Claire have thought of everything and made this a really special place. We had a heat wave during our stay, but there were so many places to sit in the shade (or the sun) that we were perfectly comfortable. The pool is lovely and the view from there is gorgeous, the wood behind the stables is a beautiful place to relax and feel at one with nature. We loved having our own bar and pool house and enjoyed meeting the hens and listening to their chatter. A magical place.

Calme sérénité

Gîte exceptionnel pour un couple qui veut profiter à tout moment d être en tête à tête. Endroit vraiment bien conçu pour que l’on se sente à l’aise, dans un cadre idyllique. Claire et Mike sont disponibles mais très très discrets. Un plus non négligeable : leur panier d’accueil plus que généreux et attentionné pour le commencement de très belles vacances.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Chamberlin

Host profile image
Mike & Claire have escaped to the country, and bought an old farmstead in rural France. We love the peace and quiet of our small commune in the Charente. Surrounded by nature. We enjoy sharing our small patch of French countryside with like-minded lovers of nature.

Why they chose this property

We have taken time to tastefully restore the old stable block into a beautiful Gîte, sleeping two adults. The rest of the block has been transformed into a games room and an indoor/outdoor eating area.
We've also converted the old Pigeonnier into another Gîte. It's surrounded by mature gardens, with patios on three sides and lovely countryside views.
Our house and garden have been carefully separated from the guest areas, so you will have complete privacy around the pool, the gardens and Le Rodin bar.
We share our property with several hens and ducks, and a couple of rabbits.

What makes this property unique

Both our Gîtes offer you a home from home, where privacy and peace is assured.
Your summer lounge is an added bonus, offering you extra space by the pool, with captivating countryside views.
Your private gardens have benches and picnic tables to enjoy alfresco meals and more amazing views. There's also an insect friendly field, and small wood to explore.
We have boules, darts and ping pong, plus board games, books and CD's to keep you entertained. And your very own cinema room with projector and choice of DVD's.
Plus a bar, just for you, with indoor and outdoor seating - bring your own drinks and snacks!
