Chez Denis sits in its own private grounds of 5 acres located on the edge of a small village. There are rolling hills and woods all around.

Chez Denis is situated in a beautiful setting on the edge of a small village

This grand residence is located not far from Brantome, with its famous abbey and lovely riverside walks, and also not far from Bourdeilles with its 11th Century Chateau and picturesque bridge over the river,

The main house features a traditional pigeonnier at one corner and were told the house is 400 years old. Both houses have been restored and equipped to a high standard with all modern conveniences.

The house and gite can be rented together, providing accommodation for up to 10 to 12 people with exclusive use of the pool and all facilities, or they can be rented separately by smaller families and groups.

Chez Denis is ideal for larger groups and families holidaying together, but who do not want to be on top of each other all the time.
The house and gite each have their own separate patio area on opposite sides of a central courtyard. The house has a large covered veranda and barbecue area at the rear with views over rolling fields and woods.

The gite has a separate patio area with mature trees providing plenty of shade for relaxing or barbecuing.

There is a 10m x 5m swimming pool situated close to both the house and gite. It is fitted with an automatic security alarm to provide protection for children when the pool is not in use.

The garden covers around 5 acres of open parkland, bounded by trees and fields, with specimen trees around the two main houses, providing shade for those hot sunny days. It is not overlooked and is very private. There is ample garden furniture for barbecues or relaxing by the pool.

The surrounding countryside is green and attractive, with rolling hills and many delightful walks from the door. It is also wonderful cycling country and cycles are available on request.

Only 15 minutes away is the picturesque town of Brantome, with many restaurants, interesting shops, abbey and riverside walks. Bourdeilles, also 15 minutes away, is a picture-postcard village with restaurants, interesting chateau, shops, boulangerie, patisserie, etc. The nearest shop is 5 minutes away at Vieux Mareuil.

2007 will be our first year renting Chez Denis, and we still have work to do on completing the furnishings and landscaping the grounds. This will all be completed before the start of the season.
