Set in a restored traditional French manor house complex in the Charente-Maritime region, our countryside property offers first class accommodation for guests.
The region enjoys a climate second only to the French Riviera - the mild winters and warm sunny summers make it the ideal holiday destination!
Situated in the hamlet of La Ville Aux Moines, the complex boasts stunning views during the summer months and are surrounded by sunflower fields.
Being named after constellations means that when you stay in one of our gites, you really do holiday with the stars!
As owners, we live on site in our lovingly restored French manor house. We have refurbished the outlying buildings into well appointed dwellings that are now available for holiday rental.
There is a heated, fully tiled, safety fenced swimming pool (12 x 8 mtrs) – which has a separate ‘splash’ pool (6 x 5 mtrs) for young ones. A half acre garden contains children’s swings , badminton, a football net, a very large safety netted trampoline, there is also a games room with table tennis and pool. We have lots of bikes including child seats & safety helmets.
In short we have everything you need for the perfect holiday. Then, of course, for the more adventurous, there is all that Charente-Maritime has to offer as well!
