Maison D'Ete

Just a short stroll from a French village, Maison d’Éte offers a refined take on rural French living. This beautifully renovated barn, set in the grounds of a pretty French château, is where cathedral-style ceilings, contemporary design and timeworn textures come together in harmony. From the moment you step inside, the space feels both expansive and intimate, a place designed to inspire slow mornings, relaxing afternoons and unhurried evenings.

The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan lounge and kitchen-diner, where oversized sofas invite long, lazy conversations beside the wood-burning stove. The newly fitted kitchen is sleek yet welcoming, anchored by a large dining table ready for family feasts and relaxed breakfasts alike. Patio doors open onto the swimming pool and beautiful Orangery.

Upstairs, three attractive double or twin bedrooms (one with an additional single bed) cater effortlessly for up to 7 guests, alongside two modern and stylish shower rooms.

Outside, your private pool is edged by decking with loungers, offering a tranquil retreat for warm summer days. The Orangery, with its barbecue, lounge area and generous dining space, is made for long lunches and leisurely evening meals. Meanwhile, the west-facing terrace is the perfect spot at sunset.

Around 700m away lies a typical French village, complete with a local café-bar, butcher and supermarket, all within walking distance. A short drive brings you to Cognac, just 13km away, for days filled with culture, cuisine and discovery. Meander through its cobbled streets, sample from world-famous distilleries or drift down the river by kayak or cruise boat. 

Whether gathered with family or sharing moments with friends, Maison d’Éte captures the essence of French country living with style, ease and just the right touch of indulgence.
