About this property

Viki and Richard welcome you to their comfortable and tranquil home in Arces, close to Royan in South West France. We are lucky to be able to enjoy the peace of the countryside while being only 10 minutes from the nearest beaches. We are a Finnish/English couple who have become happily installed here in SW France. We have recently renovated our lovely 18th century farmhouse to provide not only a home but also comfortable and restful gite. The original farmhouse, a Charentaise demi-longère has been dedicated to spacious and comfortable gite with 4 en suite bedrooms, and we have created our own living space in the barns and farm buildings. We have lived and worked in the area for many a year and know our way around well; we shall be here to provide you with all help and assistance to help you make the most of your stay in the beautiful Charente Maritime. So come on down!!

About the host

Hosted by Richard Borsey

We are Viki and Richard, a Finnish/ English couple who have settled here in the Charente Maritime where the wine is rich, the food is fresh and the weather is warm! After an eclectic mix of professional activities (from IT to astrology courses; from physiotherapy to grape picking) we have settled on our passion - writing and performing music (we have a securely soundproofed recording studio so don't worry). We have lived in the area for many a year and know our way around well so we are on hand to help you make the most of your stay. Between us we speak 5 languages including of course English and French so any assistance you may need with the lingo is freely available. We love it here, so come and share the experience!

Why they chose this property

After more than 10 years in the Charente Maritime we chose what we considered the best location - on the edge of a typical Charantaise village but only 10 minutes from the sea and some life!

We made the "mad" decision to buy a dilapidated 18th century farmhouse and to create a special home and work place.

After 2 years of dust and toil the project has borne fruit - a mix of traditional and contemporary design elements - the solidity of local stone work and beams with the addition of space and light. A spacious and airy house and gite and a garden dotted with productive fruit trees. You get the picture - we like it a lot!

What makes this property unique

Arces is a rare find - a quiet country village but very close to the beaches and holiday towns. Our property was also a rare find as properties to renovate (which haven't already been spoilt) are becoming more difficult to locate. We were able to keep many of the charming original features whilst giving the place a comtemporary feel at the same time. OK - Grand Designs pitch is over . . .
