Having lived a former life as a wine and cognac press, this beautifully converted home has retained all of its charm, along with exposed beams and brickwork. Spend your days in the 17th-century conversion – when you’re not off exploring historical sites or teeing off at any of the three surrounding golf courses – by doing as much or as little as you’d like. Read sprawled out on the sofa, only moving to top up your coffee, or take your reading outdoors, keeping your nose in a novel as you relax poolside. With this region being amongst the sunniest in France, you can expect beautiful weather all year round – perfect for a swim and some sunbathing. Pack snacks and wine and walk around the 12 acres of parkland in search of the perfect spot for a picnic. Enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, exploring beaches and towns nearby. Just because this home isn’t a wine press anymore doesn’t mean there aren’t any in the surrounding area, so venture out to visit some of the wineries, coming back with a few of your favourite vintages.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
