Tinteillac is a sprawling, masterfully renovated farmhouse with many original features, including massive rustic wooden beams, mezzanines and a pigeonnaire. Take your morning tea on the front patio in the sunshine, overlooking the extensive grounds and rambling French countryside. Spend time in the secluded pool or reading peacefully nearby on a lounger.

The spacious split-level lounge, five large bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms and sizeable family kitchen diner make it an ideal house for one or two families or groups to be independent or spend time together and relax in peaceful, rural surroundings.
