Saintes - former Cognac estate with oodles of charm
























Saintes, Charente-Maritime
Located less than 10 minutes from Saintes (a beautiful historic city with all amenities), this former Cognac estate steeped in history comprises a beautiful maison de maître, two gîtes and various outbuildings. Offering around 320 m² of living space, the maison de maître mainly comprises : - ground floor: entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom - 1st floor: 4 large bedrooms, study, bathroom, WC. We loved the charm and authenticity of this beautiful home, which has retained all its period features. The property also includes two gîtes, one offering 2 bedrooms, the other 3 bedrooms. Housed in a beautiful long outbuilding, they are in very good condition. The Beautiful garden is planted with rare species and magnificent trees (including a multi-centenary oak). The environment is flawless: the property is a very private haven of peace. A real gem, only 30 mn drive from the beaches.

Charente-Maritime is also a territory known for its gastronomy combining land and sea. The pleasure of tasting oysters from the Marennes basin on the Ile d’Oléron but also mussels, good potatoes from the Ile de Ré or salicornes, marsh plants. All this of course with cognac, or pineau de Charente, known worldwide.
