La Charmante Distillerie - sleeps 8 in 4 bedrooms

La Charmante Distillerie sleeps 8 people in 4 bedrooms. This former Cognac distillery will delight young and old as you relax by the swimming pool, pick fruit from the garden, play on the climbing frame or walk through the surrounding woods looking for deer. Pass vineyards, summer sunflowers and hayfields as you explore historic local towns and pretty villages across the sunny Charente region of southern France.

La Charmante Distillerie has been beautifully renovated by its thoughtful and dedicated owners who have preserved so much of the estate’s heritage. Dating back to the 18th century, the domaine is steeped in history with its role as a working Cognac distillery. The estate was once home to the Maison de Maître, a farmhouse for the workers and two barns (which were later used to conceal Jewish workers in WWII). One of those barns containing the distillery has been immaculately transformed into the most wonderful 4-bedroom holiday home, La Charmante Distillerie.

Step into the high-ceilinged living-dining room with carefully curated artwork, a wall-mounted Smart TV and high-end furnishings, open-plan to the luxurious kitchen featuring Christian Lacroix designs. There are two garden-facing bedrooms on the ground floor, ideal for guests who may prefer not to use stairs, both with king-size double beds and gorgeous en suite shower rooms. Discover two further bedrooms upstairs (beds can be made up as a twin or king-size double) alongside a lovely family bathroom with a shower and large bath.

The features here are second-to-none. Guests can expect high-speed internet across the house and garden, reversible air-conditioning throughout, an impressive 65-inch Smart TV and even a telescope for star-gazing. Outside, the heated swimming pool features an integrated security cover surrounded by high specification garden furnishings, poolside dining, a beautiful outdoor lounge and a summer kitchen with a barbecue and wine fridge.

We love that families are warmly welcomed – youngsters will adore the children’s play area and sandpit outside whilst older kids will appreciate the board games, DVDs and good Wi-Fi inside, not to mention the glorious swimming pool! Get back to nature by wandering in the garden picking herbs and fruit, then take a walk through the surrounding woodland teeming with wildlife.

Sustainability is key here as well – products are locally sourced when possible, water recycling systems and the owners hope to introduce a solar energy recovery system in the very near future.

When you are ready to explore further afield, visit the fortified town of Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire with its good restaurants, twice-weekly market, historic château and charming Charentais buildings. The owners can recommend restaurants across the region for keen gastronomes (as well as arrange a private chef to cook for you at home) and help organise Cognac and wine tasting at local family-run vineyards.

Around half an hour away, explore the picture-perfect village of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne with its winding flower-filled lanes, art studios, craft shops and monolithic church, then stroll down to the river with its summer beach, swimming and other water-based activities. Base de Pleine Nature de Poltrot is another beautiful spot along the Dronne for nature walks, picnics, tree-top activities, canoeing and more.

Other fantastic day trips include the handsome city of Angoulême, the distilleries of Cognac, the market towns of the Périgord Vert (Brantôme and Ribérac, for example) and even the vineyards of Saint-Émilion and Bordeaux. Return to the luxury of La Charmante Distillerie to truly rest in such natural surroundings with glorious views of the idyllic Charente countryside.
