NEW Villa with great views in rural France, children & dogs welcomed sleeps 6

A warm welcome awaits you at Villa de Campagne which sits in the hamlet of Chez Chiron in the beautiful Charente region. With the faboulous city of Bordeaux and its international airport being just over an hour way, Angouleme 35 minutes drive makes this the ideal location for couples and families to enjoy your French getaway.

Set in a quiet Hamlet offering a relaxing and rural holiday retreat with typical french rustic charm where you can enjoy the abundance of birds and wildlife surrounded by sunflowers, crops and vines. There is plenty to do with lots of lovely country walks from the gite and an easy drive to all that the Charente offers.

Our spacious newly finished and furnished gite sits on the edge of the hamlet set in a valley with stunning far reaching views and offers large comfortable accommodation. With two ample outside areas you are spoilt for choice where to enjoy the sunset with a glass of local speciality Pineau des Charante, if you're lucky you might spot a deer or two.

Nearby Chalais and Barbezieu-Saint-Hilaire are definately worth a visit especially on market day where you can appreciate the pretty character of typical French towns and sample fresh local produce. With the added bonus of some lovely restaurants, bistros, shops, supermarkets and a visit to the chateaux you can combine several activities for a great day out. Also not forgetting the famous Riberac Friday market (the biggest on the Dodogne) only a 45 minute drive making it a definate must!

The picturesque city of Angouleme is a place to spend an hour or two exploring and also has a daily indoor market offering plenty of tasty treats to try.

With popular Aubeterre-sur-dronne recently voted 'one of the most beautiful villages in France' the perfect place to sit enjoy a meal and a glass of beer whilst soaking up the atmosphere, before heading to the river beach to hire a canoe or simply enjoy the sun.
