Set in the pretty hamlet of Puygironde, Le Merisier is a stylish new property with a private swimming pool, spacious interiors and fabulous views across the valley. It’s the ultimate setting for a relaxed family retreat, yet a short stroll from the former cognac estate of Longeveau with its pool, tennis courts, restaurant and 9 hole golf course.
Just outside a former cognac estate on the Charente/Dordogne border you will find Le Merisier, a contemporary yet authentic French holiday house with everything you could need for a fun-filled and restorative break. Inside it has charm and character but also all the mod cons. Outside there are gardens and a swimming pool so you can sunbathe, play and dine al fresco. And just a short stroll away is Manoir de Longeveau, where you have unlimited access to a golf club, tennis courts, a play barn and a bar/restaurant. Throw in the area’s picturesque villages, historic sites and verdant vineyards and you’ve got a recipe for the perfect holiday.
The beautiful rolling countryside that surrounds the estate is paradise for walkers, cyclists and painters, and there are also activities like canoeing, fishing and quad biking available. Wine lovers will find chateaux and vineyards aplenty while children can enjoy crazy golf, horse riding, tree top adventures and water parks. And there are numerous picturesque towns and villages to discover, from nearby Aubeterre, with its winding streets, river beaches and 12th century subterranean church, to the bustling market towns of Chalais and Riberac. Further afield the capital towns of Angouleme and Perigeux have a good selection of shops and restaurants, and the famous towns of St. Emilion, Bergerac, Cognac and Bordeaux (not to mention the unspoilt beaches of the Atlantic Coast) are well worth a day trip.
