Domaine de Montboulard

About

Welcome to a stunning estate in the Charente: Domaine de Montboulard. Treat yourself to a French escape at this 16th century logis, surrounded by fortified walls and a tower. Montboulard offers a wide variety of exceptional guest rooms and gîtes to guests who are looking for the perfect country retreat. Rent the entire property or the main house for private use or stay in one of the many charming rooms. Any booking size from individuals and couples to families and larger groups of up to 44 people are welcome at this superb location. It is a haven of peace and a base to explore the thriving city of Angoulême and historic Poitou-Charente. There are five recently renovated chambre d’hôte guest rooms which exude comfort whilst the nine gîtes offer more space for those who wish to have a self-catered holiday. You will benefit from new fully-equipped kitchens and bathrooms (many with walk-in showers!). And, pets are always welcome at Montboulard. Guests have access to a beautiful 15 x 6-meter heated, shared pool with a forest view. Nearby water sports include kayaking, canoeing and an indoor/outdoor aquatic center. At Montboulard, guests can stay active with petanque, croquet, bicycling, volleyball or simply settle down with a fun evening of family board games or a fire in a wood-burning stove in many of the gîtes. Adventure seekers can enjoy the zip-line in the nearby park or hike in the 40 hectares of woods surrounding the property. Alternatively, bicycles are also available on-site with cycle routes such as the bike path along the Charente River. These are particularly enjoyable during the warmer weathers. Food options are plentiful -- most gîtes have private walled gardens equipped with barbecues and garden furniture. Local food retailers, bio markets, fresh air French markets and bakeries are as close as one-kilometer from the property. Montboulard is located just twelve minutes from downtown Angoulême with its festivals and events year-round. Guests from France, North America and as far away as Australia have favoured Montboulard for their family and group events. If you wish to hire Montboulard for corporate or private events, you will find a reception and meeting space readily available for functions – in addition to the courtyard which can be catered for larger events and numerous family-friendly activities.
