Intimate self-catered cottage loft ideal for work or getaway. With shared pool.

Le Soleil is a cozy self-catered cottage with a 160cm bed in the loft set in an 18th-century stone farm building and dotted with art by Man Ray. The ground floor consists of kitchenette, seating area and bathroom with walk-in shower. Shared outdoor seating and barbecues in the courtyard.

A heated swimming pool, pétanque court, ping-pong table, and 40 hectares of forest are just steps away. The cottage includes high-speed Wi-Fi, satellite TV, 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.

Just a ten-minute drive or an easy bus ride away is 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 ideal for hiking and cycling. Visit world-renowned Cognac vineyards and distilleries, walnut groves, cheese producers, orchards, trout and deer farms and truck gardens.

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

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