About this property

The 4-star Gîte de l'Arche, a natural interlude

Ideal for your spa treatment in Jonzac (only 12 minutes away). Enjoy a 4-star cottage in absolute calm to rest between your treatments. Adapted rate for 3 weeks.

After 2 years of work carried out by us, our family project is finally finalised!
The 4-star listed cottage in exposed stone with an area of 100m² is adjoining our Charente farmhouse, with an independent entrance and a parking space. It can accommodate up to 5 people.

For spa guests, a flat rate of 1150 euros is offered. Don't hesitate to ask us.

Our 4-star gîte is nestled in the heart of Charente-Maritime in the middle of the Cognac vineyards and a few kilometres from the spa town of Jonzac.

We are in the middle of the countryside at the end of a small lane right next to a winery. Here there is no traffic or noisy neighbours, just the singing of the birds and the vineyards all around, it is ideal for a relaxing stay.

On the ground floor of the cottage are:
- a small living room with an insert, ideal for winter evenings by the fire
- a fully equipped kitchen with a built-in hood and a Nespresso coffee maker. I really like cooking and I tried to equip it so that it is as pleasant as possible.
- a living room equipped with a TV, a dining table and reversible air conditioning
- a bedroom with a 160 cm bed and a dressing room
- a bathroom with a shower (extra flat basin) and a toilet
- a fully equipped laundry room with washing machine, dryer, water softener, steam generator

Upstairs:
- a large open space with exposed beams including a 140 cm bed and a 90 cm bed, all equipped with reversible air conditioning and a dressing room
- a children's corner with games and books available
- a bathroom with a toilet and a sink

Outside, enjoy a small terrace, ideal for coffee or morning tea ;-). Part of our garden will be allocated to you with a large table and deckchairs to enjoy beautiful summer evenings in our Charente countryside. Our garden is quite large (5000 m²), there are games for children (swing, ping pong table etc...), a vegetable garden on sunny days, if you like wide open spaces this is the ideal place!
We have tried to make a comfortable and authentic cottage, perfect for a stay with family or friends, between relaxation, nature and tourist discoveries.PGJyPg
We are 5 km from all amenities, bakeries, butchers, etc., especially in the village of Archiac. For larger shops, we are 12 km from Jonzac and Barbezieux.
We will give you addresses for farm and local products. We have winegrower friends 15 minutes from us who will be happy to give you a tour of the cellar and a tasting of cognac and pineau charentais.PGJyPg
For the interests and activities in the region, there is a choice:
- The Antilles de Jonzac is one of the largest water parks in Europe located in the heart of the Cognac vineyards,
1200 m² of pool, water at 29° agitated by the waves, with a long slide of 60 m2, whirlpools, sauna, hammam, river current, massage jets...
- We have an outdoor swimming pool with a large slide 5km from our home, in Archiac. Children love to go there.
- the town of Jonzac is known to spa guests for its thermal baths but also for its medieval castle that can be visited. There is also a water mill (which produces walnut oil) and a wind mill (flour production) in Jonzac. The visits are organised by young millers who are very invested in their passion.
- the town of Pons with its castle of enigmas, a leisure park that allows you to visit a magnificent Renaissance castle through a treasure hunt that will immerse you in the world of pirates.
- we are 50 km from the Atlantic coast, in particular with Talmont sur Gironde, Meschers, Saint Palais sur mer etc...
- An hour from our home, we are in Bordeaux. We lived there for 15 years and my husband still works there so we will be happy to give you lots of good addresses to discover this beautiful city at best.

Bed linen and towels are provided. Please leave the laundry in the laundry room when you leave.

An end-of-stay package is available on request.

The accommodation is non-smoking and pets are not allowed.
