Gîte / Cottage


Early booking 2026 is still possible until January 1, 2026: 10% discount from the 8th night!!  Don't wait too long and contact us. .


Our house Le Séquioa stands on a plot of 2500 m2, has its  own swimming pool and is surrounded by countryside and forest, situated in Southwest France (border Sud-Charente & Dordogne). From May 2025, le Séquioa will be equipped with a charging station and you can easily charge the electric car.

We have settled on this five-hectare private estate for twenty years with a few more Francophiles. Each gite has a large garden with private swimming pool. The domain was once a grand farm, the original buildings 'granges' have been tastefully renovated. Around it, 12 villas have been built, located on a cul-de-sac, creating the character of a cozy 'village'. The old water pump and bread oven are still present.  

Young parents can settle down with peace of mind on the domain that is car-free (max. 15 km per hour - one-way traffic). In the (play) garden your child can run around freely and the private swimming pool has an alarm (in accordance with French regulations). 

Le Séquioa has a living area of 155 m2. You enter a spacious living room, cozy with wood stove and open kitchen. The garden offers plenty of natural shade on hot days.  After a day à la campagne and the French outdoors, you will be rosy. Sleep well in 1 of the 4 bedrooms; shutters keep the house cool and the mosquitoes out; The living room has air conditioning. The house has 2 bathrooms with shower/toilet and 1 bathroom with bath. The house is suitable for up to 9 people, there is also a baby cot available. 

Outside the high season, the evenings can be chilly, we provide a pile of wood! 

Le Sequoia is fully equipped, in addition to a super-fully equipped kitchen you will find books (+ information about the region), games and a box of toys. In the village, in addition to a large Intermarché, there is a wide range of small shopkeepers and a market on Mondays.

Don't feel like cooking? In Chalais and the surrounding area you will find numerous cozy restaurants, some internationally oriented, but also the regional cuisine is well represented.

Here you can relax, or relax on a sun bed or relax by exertion on 1 of the tennis courts. Rackets, balls and other games are of course available in our house. Even more action? Then karting at the Circuit de Haute Saintonge might be something (about 20 minutes by car)? Prefer to hit someone else's balls? 30 minutes by car you will find Golfclub Aubeterre. A nice course and Aubeterre sur Dronne is a 'must see & visit' village. Pubs, restaurants, a square with jazz music (Hot Club de France). A perfect combination to settle down on one of the cozy terraces after a round of golf. 

Access Chalais has a train station with good connections to Angoulême, Coutras and Bordeaux. The TGV departs from Angoulême station and will take you to Paris in less than 2 hours.

Hi, I'm Elise and I've been working in the Netherlands as an independent entrepreneur for years. Instead of a pension, I put my money in bricks = in Le Sequoia! A wonderful place, where I like to spend a few months a year with my family and friends. So I'm already enjoying my retirement a bit ;-) And if you want to experience that feeling too......... then take a look at our cozy family home in the border area of the Sud Charente and the Dordogne.
