Maison PiletThis charming French cottage is a 400 year-old traditional Charentaise cottage and while it has every modern day convenience it has been sensitively restored and lost none of its original charm. Once part of a chateau that existed in Azay many years ago, the cottage became the home of farm labourers. The cottage is located in the department of Charante-Maritime which has the second sunniest climate in France. The area where the cottage is situated enjoys a microclimate all of its own -warm enough to swim outdoors even in October. Only 30 minutes from the nearest beaches at Fouras. |
You enter into the grand sejour complete with massive Charentaise stone fireplace, corner kitchen and dining area. The house is fully equipped, with an eye-level electric cooker, gas hob, microwave, toaster, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. For the winter months there is a wood-burning fire and oil central heating. There are 2 main bedrooms. Bedroom 1 is on the ground floor, with a double bed and its own front door as well as a large fireplace. The ground floor bathroom, complete with shower and toilet, is next door. Bedroom 2 is upstairs, accessed from the staircase in the garage.It has a double bed with a canopy. This room also has a decorative fireplace. The upstairs bathroom is next door with its shower and hand basin. There is a separate toilet adjacent to the bathroom. Additional sleeping is up a step from the grand sejour and has a single bed on the ground floor and up to two singles on a mezzanine for occasional use. A door leads out to the rear garden from this room. |
Maison Pilet is situated in the Poitou-Charente region (Charente-Maritime department) of western France bordering on the Atlantic Ocean. |
