La Maison du Maître de Chai is a 2-bedroomed cottage, sleeping 4 (+ baby), in the village of Saint-Claud (Charente), 31 km SE of Ruffec, 44km NE of Angoulême (Michelin map: 521). VFB is delighted to have featured this property since 2009. Saturday arrival.
An appealing cottage, steeped in history and set in beautiful grounds within walking distance of a bustling village.With origins in the 15th century, this ancient Domaine was formerly used for the production of wine. Evidence of this is present inside this charming ivy-clad property, with its floor made up of tiles used in the printing of famous wine labels. The interior is intimate yet well-equipped, the first floor offering spacious bedrooms with a striking décor and a smart bathroom. Outdoor facilities are superb, not least thanks to the 12m x 6m heated pool, shared with the occupants of one other cottage, tennis court, games room/summer kitchen and extensive private grounds which guests are free to enjoy at their leisure. Head over to Cognac for an insight into the production of this famous drink, hire a boat and enjoy the freedom of the River Charente and explore Angoulême and its fascinating series of wall paintings. In summary, this is an appealing and comfortable accommodation in a peaceful setting, with excellent outdoor facilities and plenty to do locally.
