The Space:

The property is divided into two independent dwellings. The main house has two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large fully equipped kitchen, and a large living room with a TV. It includes a fridge, freezer, and wine cellar, as well as a dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer. The cottage consists of a fully equipped open-plan kitchen, a living room with a TV, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a washing machine. The property is surrounded by a garden with a heated swimming pool open from May to October, deckchairs, garden furniture, outdoor tables and chairs, and a barbecue.



Private entrance with parking in the courtyard, fully fenced property.



The house is equipped with a composter for all compostable organic waste and a compost bucket in each apartment. The house is equipped with a septic tank. It is strictly forbidden to use bleach. Furthermore, please do not flush anything down the toilet: tampons, cotton swabs, cotton, tissues, paper towels... (risk of clogging the septic tank). The swimming pool is equipped with a safety system in the form of an electric roller shutter. However, never leave children near the pool or in the pool unattended. The owners disclaim all liability if an incident occurs due to lack of supervision.



Guest Access:

Private entrance with secure parking inside the courtyard.

To make your winter stay easy and comfortable, bed linen, towels, and final cleaning are included.



The property is eco-friendly, with composting, selective waste sorting, and a septic system (please follow the on-site guidelines).



The Neighborhood:

Nestled in the heart of Theil-Rabier, the house sits just across from a children’s park and a small playground (with pétanque and table tennis).



Within a few minutes’ drive, you can explore:



charming Charentaise villages and their local markets,



the village’s listed church,



peaceful countryside hiking trails,



and local wine cellars, regional produce, and authentic South-West gastronomy.



Perfect for a relaxing holiday, a nature-filled weekend, or an inspiring remote work getaway.



Getting Around:

Ideally located in a peaceful village just a few minutes’ drive from local shops, you’ll have the countryside all to yourself — perfect for scenic walks, discovering local heritage, relaxing in a traditional café, or visiting the village’s listed church.



In winter, it’s the perfect time to experience Charente in a different way: cozy wood fires, game nights, shared meals in a friendly kitchen, and hosts always available for tips and local recommendations.



Close to Ruffec, Angoulême, Melle, Niort, Aulnay-de-Saintonge, and Saint-Jean-d’Angély, the house is a great base for exploring the region.



Other Things to Note:

For your comfort, the house is equipped with a composter for organic waste and a small compost bin in each unit.

The village follows a selective waste sorting system.



Please note that the property uses a septic tank — therefore, the use of bleach is strictly prohibited.

To avoid any issues, do not flush sanitary products, cotton buds, or any non-biodegradable items down the toilets.
