Vacation Rental Description

Le Tilleul (The Lime Tree) is a restored farmhouse with private pool that sleeps up to eight people. It is located in a small cluster of buildings in peaceful countryside 3km from the small market town of Chalais in Charente, near the Dordogne border & under 2 hrs from Bordeaux. The comfortably furnished self-catering villa rental accommodation comprises 2 double bedrooms with ensuite shower/bathrooms, 1 twin bedroom with shower upstairs and a further twin bedroom with ensuite shower room on the ground floor which is suitable for people with limited mobility. There is an enormous lounge with separate dining area, a fully equipped farmhouse kitchen (dishwasher, oven, hob, microwave) and a separate utility room with washing machine. There are log fires and electric heaters for the winter. Outside is a dining area & patio with lovely views over the surrounding countryside, a barbecue & a large private pool (12m by 6m). The large garden provides a lovely play area for children & is shaded by a large lime tree that gives the house its name.

Set in farmland surrounded by fields of sunflower and maize, Le Tilleul is situated in a small hamlet outside the village of St Quentin-de-Chalais on the Charente/Dordogne border. The nearest town, Chalais, is about 3 km away. This is a small market town with a railway station and a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants. There is a market every Monday. There are many countryside walks in the locality which allow you to explore the area, and during the summer months enjoy tastings of the locally produced wines, Pineau and Cognacs. About 8 km away is the beautiful historic village of Aubeterre, which has a monolithic church, craft shops and a pretty square with restaurants. There is a river beach at Aubeterre and other options for outdoor activities in the area include walking, horseriding, canoeing and a small water park. There is also easy access to Bordeaux, Angouleme, St Emilion, Riberac, Perigueux, La Rochelle, Cognac and the Dordogne for day trips.
