Firstly, I must mention that we have been listed on this site for many years. We have had many wonderful clients and comments, and by my own fault, I have deleted everything!. So, without comments unfortunately, we welcome you to the 2024 season. About us .......
Gite du Calme a very comfortable traditional stone farmhouse for 6 adults and 3 children. The Gite has 3 double bedrooms all with private shower room and toilet. A fully equipped kitchen including air fryer and a selection of coffee machines. There is a large farmhouse table and a large lounge with very comfortable seating for all. The garden has a shared swimming pool, 4 metre trampoline, badminton, archery, swings, ping pong and more. Great for all ages. We are located on a hill amongst vineyards and forest. On the southside of the hill we overlook the Cognac vineyards and on the other side we are surrounded by forest.
Gite du Calme is managed by Julia a private host and lives and maintains the property all year.
We are located between two main Villes, Cognac and Saintes, just 10 kms to either. There are many other small beautiful villages between those two villes also. We are just 2 minutes by car from the Charente river, where there is much activity. We have many pop up restaurants all along the river. There you can eat and listen to music. You can hire paddle board, canoes and pedalos. As well as all that, we have a week long music festival in July called, Cognac Blues Passion and another called the Cognac festival. There are many Roman sites to visit and and a whole choice of Chateaux, Cognac houses and the Beach at Royan to visit. Not to mention the daily fresh food markets, restaurants, bars, boutiques and supermarkets. It is a very creative corner too. Also, we are lucky enough to show paintings from a local artist called Julien Graizely and D'art en Arts 17 who make old radios into blue tooth speakers and interesting pieces into lamps.
