Romantic 3 bedroom two-story self-catered cottage with patio and shared pool

Le Bois is a 3-bedroom self-catered cottage set over two floors, south-facing, within a 17th-century stone building.

On the main level, Le Bois features a living/dining room with contemporary and stone motifs, a fully equipped kitchen (updated in April 2022), a wc, and a bedroom with a 90cm bed. The main room boasts a large fireplace with wood burning stove and is furnished with chic sectional sofas.

The second floorl includes a large double-sink bathroom with walk in shower and two bedrooms—one with a 160cm bed, the other with a 140cm and a 90 cm bed.

The private, enclosed garden is equipped with a dining table, barbecue, and two armchairs. The gate opens onto a private parking area and an orchard. Just steps away, there is the heated swimming pool, pétanque court, ping-pong table, and 40 hectares of forest.

The cottage includes high-speed Wi-Fi, satellite television, electricity, and hot water.

Montboulard, a haven of peace and relaxation dominated by its stone tower and manor house, is less than a kilometer from a variety of shops: conventional and organic supermarkets, restaurants, gift shops, household goods, clothing, DIY stores, as well as automotive and personal care services.

A ten-minute drive—or easily accessible bus—brings you to the historic center of Angoulême, offering over forty restaurants, bars, and cafés, a covered market, a Romanesque cathedral, museums, shops, breathtaking views, and public artworks.

The Charente countryside is dotted with villages crowned by castles, Roman and prehistoric sites, and landscapes perfect for hiking and cycling. You can also visit world-renowned Cognac vineyards and distilleries, walnut groves, cheese producers, orchards, or deer, trout and truck farms.

Montboulard is equidistant from the Atlantic beaches and the destinations of the Dordogne, making day trips to La Rochelle, Royan, Bordeaux and its vineyards, Poitiers, Limoges, Sarlat, and Périgueux easy and convenient.

Outdoor activities for adults and children abound: kayaking, canoeing, climbing, river or lake swimming, zip-lining, cycling along the Charente, hiking, and horseback riding.

We and our colleagues are always available to meet your needs and requests, ensuring your stay is comfortable.

Check-in is between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM, and check-out is by 10:00 AM. Earlier arrivals or later departures may be possible, subject to availability and additional fees. However, you are welcome to enjoy Montboulard’s facilities, including the pool, before check-in and after check-out.

Please note:

We have a meeting space that can accommodate up to 25 people.

Fresh pastries and breakfast can be delivered to your cottage each morning.

Your dog or cat is always welcome, subject to a supplement.
