We have a beautiful nineteenth century charentaise stone farmhouse (with gites) in some five acres of unspoilt rural France. Our house is well-insulated, well-equipped and has very effective central heating. We do not expect to have any holiday-makers or guests in our gites or B&B for these two months. We are looking for a couple to house-sit, look after our old, friendly/loveable lab (Maya) who needs a 20 minute walk once a day and maintain/care for the security of our property and grounds whilst we take an extended holiday to Vietnam and Australia (to see our eldest daughter, Rebecca, who lives in Oz).
Our local area has much to recommend it - lovely restaurants, beautiful countryside, local markets, Cognac vineyards, Saintes (old regional Roman capital), Pons and the route of St Jacques de Compostela, Angouleme, La Rochelle, Aubeterre, St Emilion, the Cote Sauvage, Bordeaux vineyards etc. If you like peace and quiet, walks in the countryside with good food and drink - this venture could suit you perfectly! Do see our .gitesdebrives for more info and photos/videos of our property. Thanks.
We look forward to meeting new friends.
