Surrounded by open Charente-Maritime countryside, La Maison Folignon is a beautifully renovated country house that blends traditional charm with modern comfort. From its idyllic deck, views stretch across vineyards, inviting slow mornings of yoga and unforgettable sunsets. Behind the maison’s classic stone façade lies a home of real warmth and style, where every detail has been thoughtfully crafted for an elegant escape.

Inside, the heart of the house is the show-stopping kitchen and dining room. With its expansive central island, dual ovens, drinks fridges and direct access to the terrace, it's designed for leisurely cooking and convivial dining. The living room’s cosy fireplace creates an inviting space for evenings in, while the separate TV room offers a laid-back corner for film nights or quiet reading. Each of the four ensuite bedrooms offers privacy and comfort, including a ground-floor double bedroom that opens directly to the garden.

Cool off in the private swimming pool, surrounded by loungers, or sip wine on the deck as the sky turns gold. Make the most of the four acres of grounds as children bounce on the trampoline or explore the lawns. The owners (a private chef) live discreetly within the grounds, meaning catering and local tips are always within reach.

The surrounding region offers the best of southwestern France. Just a short drive away, Saint-Ciers-du-Taillon has all daily essentials, while the vibrant ports of Mortagne-sur-Gironde and Saint-Georges-de-Didonne promise seafood lunches and scenic strolls. The wide beaches of Royan are under 40 minutes’ drive, and the vineyards and tasting rooms of Cognac or Saint-Émilion are the perfect day out. Bordeaux, with its grand boulevards, cultural festivals and wine-bars, is just over an hour away.

Whether gathering with family, reconnecting with friends or simply switching off among the vines, La Maison Folignon is a countryside haven where space and style meet.
