Le Petit Manoir du Tartre
Beautiful luxurious House with private Pool Sleeps 7
St Thomas de Conac near Royan and convenient for Bordeaux, France
Le Petit Manoir du Tartre is a beautiful Charentaise house which has been professionally restored by French craftsmen. In a tiny hamlet, near the Gironde Estuary with its fantastic array of flora and fauna, Le Petit Manoir is situated in a protected nature area and has glorious views towards the Gironde, with its own wooded land and huge barn detached from the house. The area is rich in wildlife and perfect for cycling and walking. Le Petit Manoir is close to 3 delightful small ports with a range of restaurants and bars and is only 20 minutes from award winning sandy beaches. The high standard renovation has retained original features such as wooden floors and exposed beams. Le Petit Manoir du Tartre is furnished with both comfort and elegance in mind, a mixture of local antique and modern furniture, making it a stylish and supremely comfortable home in which to unwind.
This fantastic holiday home offers you three bedrooms, three W.C.s and two beautifully tiled shower rooms.
The secluded pool is 10.5 metres x 5 metres and has a depth of 1 to 2.1 metres complete with a safety ledge. There is a solar shower and ample pool furniture for a wonderful relaxing holiday.
This lovely home is centrally heated and is perfect for a cosy winter get away; why not come and experience the grape harvest in October or Christmas shopping at the local markets? Conjure up a gastronomic feast in the newly installed, superbly equipped kitchen. Le Petit Manoir is the perfect year round destination from which to enjoy exploring everything the southern Charente Maritime region has to offer.

"What a beautiful House! We are really delighted to have spent time here. The walks through the countryside were really memorable. The daily honk of the bread van took us back in time, in Ireland when time in rural areas moved slowly and daily visits such as these mattered. It was great to step back, reflect and relax. H, E. J. K. & A. D. Dublin

"Thank you so much for our week spent in this idyllic house. Our two boys Max 4 and Oscar 3 have had an absolute ball in the pool and the garden. They thoroughly enjoyed the swimming at Les Antilles Jonzac and the zoo at La Palmyre. I would also like to echo the sentiments of your previous guests, the added extras were all very much appreciated; wine, beer, flowers, loo roll, kitchen towel, washing up liquid etc. The list goes on. Really makes a difference. Thank you - we will definitely be back." India, Steve, Max and Oscar T. England
