Originally the watermill of the historic 12C Abbey of Ronsenac in the sunny Charente, 20 miles from Angouleme and 2 miles from Villebois-Lavalette. This very large, beautiful, 4 bedroomed house, sleeps up to 10, has an acre of grounds surrounded by the mill stream, and superb private 10 x 5m swimming pool.
Conveniently located on the outskirts of the village, idyllically peaceful and surrounded by the undulating rural countryside of the Charente, ablaze with sunflowers in July, Le Moulin is the perfect setting to unwind and enjoy a barbecue and glass of wine.
The shady verandah has ample seating for all our visitors and your very own private, constant 1.25m deep pool has sunloungers and tables. The large expanse of level grounds offer the option of all types of ball games or just chill out to the sound of the mill stream. For the more energetic, across the road is a tennis court, running track, basketball and boules court and an adventure playground for small children.
The area abounds in country walks and signposted VTT rides - cycle hire and details of walks and rides are available from the tourist office in the nearby historic town of Villebois-Lavalette. There are 4 golf courses within easy reach.

What to See and Do
Owners Recommendations
'The Hidden Charente'
"Although lesser known than the British enclave of the Dordogne, the Charente offers its own unique, special 'Lost in France' appeal. For example: Ronesanec itself, with its Priory 12C Abbey and ancient stream source. Nearby Villebois-Lavalette with its 13C chateau and cover market square. Visits to Anguoleme, Aubeterre, Brantome, Cognac, Oradour-Sur-Glane, Royan, La Rochelle, Futuroscope, the wine areas of Bordeaux and of course, the touristy areas of the Dordogne. "
