Set in a central courtyard with feature fountain, this stunning converted gate house with spiral staircase and 4 poster bed overlooks 4 acres of grounds and the petite etang lake, a perfect setting for a honeymoon, special anniversary or holiday. Laze in the grounds or swim in the pool, but most of all relax and enjoy the tranquillity of France. Escape to the ultimate French countryside haven La Soliniere is an 18th-century domain, hidden away in the small village of Bouin. We are situated 4 km from the historic market town of Chef Boutonne, in the heart of Poitou Charente. The area is surrounded by beautiful sunflower fields and open countryside, an ideal tranquil setting for your holiday. The Gulf Stream brings a warm climate to the area all year round and nearly as much sun as the Riviera. Hot sunny days are normally the best time for using the pool and sunbathing, with the rest of the time spent exploring the surrounding countryside and towns.
