La Tour, Chateau de Charras - 3 Bedroom Medieval Tower with Pool and Garden in Charras, Charente Reviews

What a magical place! We stayed for a week as a family of four plus our dog. The tower has the great blend of feeling a bit remote in the French countryside while being close to people with a little bar, bread shop and grocery store all steps away. It has the magic of staying in a castle with the amenities of a nice kitchen and a pool! I hadn’t been to this area of France before and am now wanting to come back to enjoy the night markets, landscape and laidback, friendly atmosphere again!

La Tour is a fantastic place to stay. Beautiful, relaxing, peaceful and set in lovely grounds. It's exceptionally well equipped - they have thought of everything! Some holiday lets have a veneer of polish and quality, one that turns out to be only skin deep, but this is a genuinely comfortable place to stay. Great beds and high-end linens stood out. Loads to do on site - a heated pool, table tennis, croquet, and tennis courts too. We lounged a lot on the terrace - lazy lunches and a snooze in the shade on the outdoor sofa.

It's rare to find a stay - even on Sawday's - that is actually better than the marketing materials. La Tour is a fabulous place to stay, converted to very high standards and extremely well-equipped. The chateau facilities (tennis court, pool) were in excellent condition: the pool in particular is much larger than we expected, and crystal clear. The extensive grounds are very well maintained, and a pleasure to stroll around. The view from La Tour's terrace is a great way to start the day, though it's just as good with a long drink in the afternoon...highly recommended.

We had a thoroughly pleasant stay at La Tour, managing to balance entertaining our three boys with the peace and tranquility of the surrounding French landscape. The accommodation was great and all were very welcoming. I will never grow tired of French patisserie and wine! Time to go on a diet.

We had a brilliant time! La Tour is so beautiful - what a fantastic place you have. We all found the house to be really comfortable, the pool was bliss (especially during the 40+ degrees C days!) and the surroundings stunning. Having a bar, shop and bakers in easy walking distance was perfection! Janey was super helpful and gave us such a warm welcome. We loved every second! Thank you.
