This converted watermill has a whimsical charm that's hard to forget. The stream flows through the house and can be looked down at from the dining room viewing spot. The grounds are full of magical wonders perfect to spark the imagination of young children. Little ones can splash about in the safety of the children's pool, which is attached to the main saltwater swimming pool. The house is also stocked with toys and games ready for all the family to play with. The location is close to the towns of Saintes, Cognac and Taillebourg where you can pick up local produce and wine to bring back and devour at the poolside cabana.
