the holiday home "l'Homme de l'Épine" in Cellefrouin (Charente, FR)

Very tastefully decorated, very good mattresses

Inge uit Bruges (BE) schreef in August 2023 op Facebook :

Very beautiful holiday home, quietly situated and equipped with every comfort. It is nice to have such a large kitchen when you have to cook for a group and there are two dishwashers. The swimming pool is a real treat, and with the glass top, it is wonderfully warm. The house itself and the rooms are very tastefully decorated, and moreover, the mattresses are very good for a blissful night's sleep. In short, a hidden gem. The owners are also easily reachable for questions, and maps of beautiful walking and cycling routes in the area are available. We also visited a Cognac maker and played golf at the Golf du Cognac among the vineyards.

Nice week

We spent a lovely week in this holiday home in the summer of 2026.

Once again, a feeling of being in paradise in France

Raisa uit Bruges (BE) schreef in April 2026 op Google :

After a previous stay in the summer of 2023, we chose this beautiful holiday home in this unspoiled region again without hesitation. The holiday home is fully equipped, spotless, and very tastefully decorated. The beautiful new heated swimming pool invites you to blissfully float around and swim laps. Furthermore, this holiday home is an ideal base for hiking, cycling, and visiting authentic villages. The peace, the quiet, and the beautiful views (with the occasional deer!) once again gave us the feeling of being in paradise. We will certainly return to test out the petanque court!
