About the host
Hosted by Rachel & Ben
Ben and Rachel have been happily married for 20 years and have three wonderful children (most of the time😬) Harvey, Georgina and Maisie, we live Near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. We bought Chateau de Talence as a holiday home to enjoy with our family and friends and to escape once in a while from our hectic lifestyle.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Chateau de Talence the minute we turned into the driveway, we knew we had to buy & restore her, we have been busy fixing and mending her to her former glory over the past year and a half and will continue to to do so in the future years by adding more features and improvements. The house is so very well located close to three airports, La Rochelle, Nantes and Poitiers, although in the countryside close enough but not on top of local amenities, There are plenty of lovely countryside walks to explore or a short walk into the village to the local restaurants or bakery. Slightly further afield is the port town La Rochelle with its beautiful shops and restaurants and stunning beach Island of île de Ré.
What makes this property unique
When booking Chateau Talence, you are booking the entire house. It is close enough to both Caen (4 hours) and Saint Malo (3.5 hours) Ferry Ports to reach us easily on the same day of travel.
