Natuurhuisje in Salles lavalette

Ideal for large families or groups of friends, the unique, flexible accommodation is in two 17th Century buildings, each with a living, kitchen & dining room & outdoor cooking & eating areas. The dwellings are full of character & authentic French rustic charm, but are practical & well-equipped, with modern conveniences using many sustainable solutions. Distinctive interiors are thoughtfully designed and to lessen impact on the environment, we source locally & sustainably or buy handcrafted & vintage. We're committed to reducing our consumption of new, single-use items and support responsible businesses that also operate sustainably. The huge private swimming pool, in the gorgeous grounds, is enclosed by walls of an ancient barn and for your exclusive use. There is a large lawn for games, the old barn has table tennis, cycles & equipment for badminton, pétanque etc. Indoors there's Fuss Ball, a Pool table, darts, gym equipment and a bar with refrigerator for you to stock with drinks.

Natuur en omgeving

At the end of a tranquil country lane, deep in the heart of the countryside, the house is surrounded by fields of stunning sunflowers and golden crops in the summer. There are 2 other properties nearby, but privacy is provided by walls, hedges and our huge ancient barn which enclose the site. The courtyard looks out over uninterrupted views of the glorious Charentaise countryside with its streams, woodland and abundant wildlife. Perched in an elevated position and with such low levels of air pollution, the expansive night skies are literally out of this world. Whilst it feels peaceful and remote, you can cycle to the local boulangerie for freshly baked bread and delicious pastries in the nearby small village (6 minutes by car). The nearest large supermarket and other essential amenities are 15 minutes by car and there are plenty of interesting places to visit within an hours drive, if you wish to explore further afield. Hiking, cycling, fishing and local fresh produce markets await.
