About this property

Far from tourist crowds on 32 acres of pastoral French countryside, this delightful farmhouse in Charente offers ultimate privacy, peace, and relaxation for up to 8 guests looking for a restorative holiday.

A classic French farmhouse, the property has been thoughtfully designed with contemporary décor and modern amenities. Four plush bedrooms, spacious living and dining areas, and a cozy reading area are warmly inviting, while sunny terraces, a BBQ grill, and the large heated pool will keep the sun worshipers satisfied.

The farmhouse is a special treat for nature lovers - with wildflower-filled meadows, beautiful gardens, and woodlands brimming with local wildlife. Catch a nap or picnic under shady willows by the pond, or share some wine beneath the stars from the upper balcony with panoramic views.

Nalliers is the nearest village at 2 km away, with the town of St Savin at 5 km, where you can peruse local markets, sip cappuccinos in the cafes, or even fish off the banks of river. There’s also an abundance of medieval towns, prehistoric caves, and castles to explore throughout the region – all within short driving distance from this rural retreat in central France.

Manoir de Trebuchet is set in a truly delightful area in Central France close to the border of The Vienne, approximately 2 kms from the village of Nalliers and 4 kms from the town of St Savin, St Savin is a super old town set around a beautiful tree lined square with bars and cafes. The Abbey provides one side of the square and is a great place to visit. The river runs behind the abbey with great paths to walk and cycle on.

The outstanding countryside is completely unspoiled, with a beautiful mix of wild flowers and unusual vegetation. Roaming herds of deer are common, as are wild boar - but these can prove a little harder to spot!

Montmorillon - Approximately 10 miles away is a beautiful Medieval town set on the banks of the river with an excellent a weekly local market, ancient buildings, restaurants, cafes, bars, banks and supermarkets.

For those staying a fortnight, there is a superb weekly market in the beautiful town of Chauvigny that we highly recommending you visiting.

There is a diverse selection of local hotels, small town bars, cafes and markets in the local towns of villages and towns of St. Savin, Nalliers, Montmorillon and Angles Sur L'Anglin.

The award winning 'Fleuri Village de France' of Angles Sur L'Anglin is a must see with its beautiful cobbled streets, antique shops, towering castle ruins, prehistoric caves, friendly restaurants with superb views across the river and so much more.

With Medieval towns, beautiful villages tumbling into local rivers, local markets full of fresh produce, Chateaux, Cathedrals and so much more, there really is something for everyone!

Manoir de Trebuchet is surrounded by nature. Guests can see herds of deer, rare butterflies, fireflies, humming birds, eagles, barn owls, wild boar - along with much more!

  • Sylvie

    Manoir de Trebuchet is a lovely property with an exceptionally well-tended garden, set in acres of unspoilt countryside, which provide many lovely walks. The owners, Charles & Gillian, made our stay memorable, making available a wonderful welcome pack to cover all essentials after a long journey down to the property, with Gillian answering all our many queries and doing her utmost to make us comfortable and at home. Despite the necessary restrictions because of Covid-19, our stay was delightfully relaxing and completely de-stressing.

  • Esther

    We stayed at Manior De Trebuchet for a week and had the most wonderful time. The house and grounds are beautiful and impeccably kept. We enjoyed hours each day in the stunning pool and the children loved going on early morning rambles through the woods at the back of the property. It was enchanting to watch the deer which visited the garden daily. Our hosts were brilliant - a mine of local information and were willing to do anything to help. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to enjoy and peaceful, relaxing holiday.

    We have just returned from 2 fantastic weeks of rest and relaxation in this amazing property, this was our first house holiday in France and it didn't disappoint. Thank you to Gillian and Charles who were great hosts that clearly work very hard. Whilst not intrusive they were always busy ensuring the property looked its best and were happy to provide information on the local area. We enjoyed our restful days by the pool so much we forgot about most of the day trips we had planned which gives us a great reason to return! Our children played safely in the extensive grounds and we all enjoyed spotting the local wildlife. A really relaxing holiday for those who enjoy the slower pace of French rural life.
