In the heart of the South Charente, the "Tuscany of France," stands le gîte Dalignac, a stately and authentic fortified manor dating to the 15th Century.  Once the home of an advisor to François I, France’s Renaissance king, today the Logis and its outbuildings   have been faithfully restored with native materials and the interior design has been interpreted with a contemporary twist.  Pierre and Max look forward to hosting you throughout the year!

Throughout the property, the materials used in the restoration play on themes of nature, native resources, and the farming culture of the region.  From the local pierre de Combe and heavily-grained lime-stained oak, to the burlap drapes and fine bed linens,  the overall effect is…serenity.

Located 18 kilometers south of Angoulême and its TGV station, le gîte Dalignac is 2 hours 10 minutes to Paris-Montparnasse by train.  Bordeaux and the Merignac International Airport are 1 ½ hours by car.

In the courtyard stands our guest house, called the 'Maison d'Amis.'  It has central heating, private entrances, and has been stylishly decorated in a rustic contemporary manner.  Outfitted with the finest linens and details, the house features a salon, equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower, and mezzanine bedroom.  In addition, you have:

• A state-of-the-art flat screen television, DVD/VHS player, and a CD/Cassette player.  A Minibar, coffee maker, electric hot water kettle are also furnished
• An unsupervised swimming pool is available to our clients
• Children as of 12 years and older are welcome
• No pets  

  It is a setting ideal for walking, bicycling, reading, relaxing, and rediscovering your relationship.
