Climb the small stone staircase leading to the entrance terrace of La Maison de Rivere. Here you will find a table and four chairs, and you will probably eat most of your summer meals here. A parasol is installed for shade at the end of the afternoon.
This recently renovated Charente stone house of character benefits from a front row view of all the comings and goings of this small Cognac producing town, overlooking the Charente River.
Its thick stone walls and double-glazed windows ensure relative coolness in summer and warmth in winter.
Striking modern decor and all modern conveniences and appliances make this home exceptionally easy to live in while on vacation.
Electric heating in winter is supplemented by a Pellet Fire in the large dining kitchen.
Two comfortable sofas and a wing chair with footstool are found in the large salon, along with a round oak table with four chairs, for playing chess and other games provided. A large screen TV/DVD player/Bluetooth stereo and a selection of over 100 DVDs in FR/Eng. provide entertainment.
Antique oak stairs lead to a spacious master bedroom with a queen bed and a modern bathroom with shower. This room benefits from a window seat overlooking the Charente.
Stairs from the living room lead to a 2 bedroom suite (one double and one with 2 single beds) and a bathroom with skylight.
In the basement you will find a family washer and dryer, iron and ironing board, cleaning supplies and toilets.
A large separate garden has shaded seating areas with garden furniture and games.
The town of Bourg-Charente has an excellent restaurant/café/bar/bread depot for lunch, La Maison du Passeur and the Michelin-starred restaurant La Ribaudière.
