Le Petit Pezet is quietly situated on the edge of a small valley and overlooks a secluded park. Space, space, space is what you get here; Four acres of gently sloping lawns bordered by mature woodland trees, six acres of private woodland and a large (15mx6m) private swimming pool at the bottom of the garden (open from May to October). It is a really beautiful place.
The stone main house is an old farmhouse with a converted barn that has been lovingly restored by the 'Medecin de Village' and his wife who lived there for many years. It is a modern typical 'Maison Charentaise' that is full of period character with high ceilings with exposed oak beams, huge fireplaces and old stonework.
The stone main house comfortably sleeps six adults, over two floors in three spacious double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, and four children in two attic bedrooms with a stylish shared bathroom. The more modern annex sleeps four adults in two double bedrooms with private bathrooms. The entire property can accommodate up to 14 guests plus babies. The price shown applies to the main building and the rooms in the annex. If you do not need the rooms in the annex, please ask us for the price for the main building only.
