Why Sarah and Steve englefield chose La Rochebeaucourt-et-Argentine
We went on holiday to the Charente region and fell in love with the Dordogne with its rolling countryside on our way to visit Brantome for the day. We are located in a peaceful and friendly hamlet with fantastic views over the valley. The easy access to the main road the D939 takes you to where you need to go as we live just off it at the top of the village. We love waking up to the cocks crowing in the mornings & the owls hooting at night.We fell in love with the garden and the Gite, as it has been renovated to a high standard maintaining most of its original features we walked in and said, WOW! The pool is beautiful with a lovely place to catch the rays relaxing on the sunbeds. We cant get over how lucky we were to find such a place, and can't wait to share its splendour with you.
What makes this Barn unique

Our property is on the road but a very peaceful road with virtually no traffic, you will find it very peaceful and relaxing. We have a large garden with its own pool for the guests, we have an outside dining area with BBQ. At night whilst enjoying a glass of wine sitting on the terrace upstairs outside the Gite, you will be amazed by the array of stars to be seen on a clear night, and taking in the beautiful sunsets over the valley below. Our gardens are enclosed and gated. The D939 is the main road giving access to places you want to visit. It is a 15 minute walk to the village which hosts a post office and bakers, and 3 restaurants, you can access this lovely walk from the garden gate, a beautiful cooling walk through the woods in the hot summer sun.
