We look forward to welcoming you to 'Le Lievre', our privately owned gite/holiday home in the heart of the Charentais countryside. Our stunningly converted little stone barn offers the most magnificent views over the countryside and an amazing sense of peace and tranquility and being at one with nature. There are plenty of the original oak beams on show along with exposed charentais stone walls, all adding to the incredible charm of this property. There is a spacious and stylish mezzanine bedroom with double doors leading to a balcony with views over the valley and forests beyond with en-suite shower room. There are two sets of double doors, leading from the lounge and dining kitchen to a large deck with far reaching, magnificent views and with dining table and sun loungers. What could be better than chilling with a cold glass of wine whilst taking in all nature has to offer. The lounge has a wood burning stove for cosy winter evenings and this leads to a well equipped dining kitchen where on long summer evenings dining al fresco is a must and a pure joy. Watching the deer meander across the sunflower fields, listening to the birdsong and if you are lucky watching the wild boar foraging in the woods just adds to the amazing sense of tranquility and being at one with nature. For anyone keen on keen on stargazing, the night skies are truly magnificent and you are sure to see the most spectacular sunsets. As you enter Le Lievre you will see the lovely little walled courtyard, where you can take your morning coffee under the shade of our old walnut tree. There are many beautiful walks from the doorstep, some wonderful cycling and we offer private parking. In the cooler months we supply 1/4 cube of wood free of charge and if you require more then we charge what our supplier has charged us for that year.

Die Ferienwohnung ist wunderschön im französischen Landhausstil eingerichtet und liegt in toller absout ruhiger Lage mit traumhafter Aussicht. Für zwei Erwachsene einfach perfekt.
The property was furnished to a high standard in a really peaceful location but with plenty of lovely places to see near by. The view from the terrace was beautiful

About the host
Hosted by Lesley and Toby Dorman-Groves
We moved to France in 2004 after having left our busy professional lives in printing and engineering behind, and had a very successful gite and cattery business in the Haute Charente. We then sold the business to move a little further south and have found the most wonderful property. We love to travel and this wonderful lifestyle offers the opportunity to do just that out of season. We love animals and have 6 cats all of which we acquired whilst in France. They are all very happy as are we in this wonderful little corner of the Charente!
Why they chose this property
We are situated at the end of a track so no traffic noise and the gite has outstanding views over the countryside, perfect for a relaxing and tranquil holiday. There are a lot of attractions around us and also Cognac and St Emilion both within an hour. The town of Montmoreau is only a 2 minute drive with a supermarket, butchers, bakers and a bar and a restaurant. The stunning village of Aubeterre sur Dronne is only 15 minutes away with an abundance of little bars and restaurants and of course the underground church. We are in an ideal location for exploring the wonders our area has to offer.
What makes this property unique
This property is ideally situated for a peaceful and tranquil holiday, yet only a 2 minute drive to the small town of Montmoreau St Cybard. The views from the gite are outstanding across the stunning French countryside and our guests love the large terrace overlooking the valley covered terrace There is private parking and some lovely walks and cycling from the property.
