Luxury Farmhouse and adjacent Barn with two pools, jacuzzi and sauna

'Chez les Rois'or 'Home of the Kings' is a very large property dating back to 1842. Situated in the Charentaise countryside, in five acres of grounds and gardens the Farmhouse and the Barn form part of the courtyard setting and at the height of summer the whole of the property is surrounded by maize, vines and sunflowers. The Farmhouse has its own private pool and garden. We also have a communal pool where you can join us for pool side drinks. Both pools are situated in enclosed areas with locked gates in accordance with French law. In the grounds we have swings, slides, badminton, a boules pitch and bikes to the discover the surrounding countryside. Chez les Rois also has the added luxury of a jacuzzi and a sauna, and for those business minded people we have broadband Internet access. The property is ideal for two or three families or a large group of friends wishing to holiday or celebrate a special event.Or why not enjoy Christmas together French style at Chez les Rois

Details for the farmhouse in Charente, France

Both the Farmhouse & the Barn have been tastefully renovated to a high standard offering comfortable accommodation for 18 adults or 2 or 3 families. Each house has its own kitchen and dining areas. However, the kitchen in the Farmhouse is quite large with enough space for 2 to 3 cooks to work in harmony. There are lots of work surfaces, cupboard space, an island unit with a built in hob, large Italian cooker and an American fridge/freezer that dispenses ice/water - a must in summer. The cupboards contain a large supply of crockery, glasses and utensils for every day use. At the rear of the Farmhouse is a huge room which was originally the “Chais”; This has been completely renovated to offer a lounge /dining area for 20 people. Large comfortable sofas with antique furniture, the 'buffet' and the 'argentier' contain a selection of quality glass wear and crockery so everyone can dine in style. There is a CD player, large plasma screen TV, and a DVD player with lots of DVD to choose from
