Excellently furnished and equipped throughout, with large, airy living rooms which stay cool even on hottest of days. The pool was recently refurbished and is completely fenced and has a plentiful supply of sun beds. Its paved area is surrounded by flowers and herbs. The garden is a mass of colour in summer. Thouvenin has a covered dining terrace which also includes a full-sized table tennis table, overlooking the pool. Adjacent is the brick-built barbecue and the boule area, hedged by lavender bushes and ornamental grasses. Thouvenin has a stylish formal dining room, comfortably seating ten and a spacious living room with a traditional Charentaise fireplace. The house is centrally heated. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, shower room and a family bathroom with an additional toilet on the ground floor. The village of Migron is truly historic and has at it heart the Romanesque church and a natural spring and a communal washing station. It has a bar, and bakery within five minutes walk and its own butcher just three minutes walk from the property, post office and hairdresser. A pizza, a vegetable and fresh fish vans all make weekly visits. The house gets its name from when it was Hotel Thouvenin, the station hotel. Before that, it was a typical Charentaise farmhouse dating back to the 18th century. The railway has long since gone and quiet has returned to the village. The mezannine area, fully undercover and accessible from the ground and first floors, has been converted into a private café/bar, capturing the feel of a stylish, but lost era. Its louvred wall provides dappled shade even at the height of summer. The village Pretre’s cassock hangs on the hatstand alongside the Gendarme’s cap, beside thirsty travellers’ luggage awaiting their departure. It is furnished with tables and sofas and the hand crafted zinc bar has both a fridge and a freezer hidden within it. It’s a fabulous spot for breakfast, or leisurely enjoying a good book out of the sun and the perfect place for a late night drink at the end of a relaxing day. We can even arrange to stock the bar before you arrive! The heated pool is 9x4m and recently refurbished. Its open from April to October. The pool is fully fenced and has a good supply of loungers with a large paved area surrounded by flower beds and a rosemary hedge. It has two childproof safety gates. The village of Burie is five minutes drive with a wonderful bakery, cafe, restaurant and mid-sized supermarket also selling petrol. The village is surrounded by vineyards and sunflower field and all roads lead to further sleepy villages, vineyards, abbeys and historic sites. The properties are within 20 minutes of the beautiful historic towns of Cognac, Saintes and St Jean D'Angely. Each is worth several days of your time with elegant squares, parks, good shopping, great food, lovely bars... and the largest supermarkets. Even closer is Matha (10 minutes) with a huge new supermarket, cafes and a range of shops. The properties are just 40 from from the beautiful sandy beaches of Royan and an hour to Bordeaux, La Rochelle and the fantastic islands of Ile de Re and Ile D'Oleron. Near the coast are massive areas of sea marshes, nature reserves with egrets, storks and coypu, a true wildlife haven. Near the coast too are the huge oyster and mussel beds that serve the restaurants of France. Every village and town has a local market, inevitably with fresh seafood - and vegetables and cheeses - piled high. Each village too will have a summer festival weekend and Cognac has an international music festival which attracts the biggest names, but also has music in every cafe and the pedestrianised streets. Migron and the surrounding area is excellent for cycling - miles and miles of level countryside with virtually traffic-free routes through vineyards, fields, woodland and villages. Other activities include river trips, antiques markets (large brocantes held in surrounding villages regularly throughout the summer), visits to chateaux, churches and museums, walking, cycling and birdwatching. Sport and leisure in the area include golf (18-hole courses in both Cognac and Saintes which are 20 minutes away), horseriding, all types of fishing, tennis (including a court in the village), canoe-kayaking (boats to hire at various places along the Charente in Cognac and Saintes), and plenty of space in and around the village to kick a football. We will supply details of all the local attractions, markets and beaches. Thouvenin is adjacent to L’Ecurie, a gite, once the stable block and Property Number 11195140. L’Ecurie has two bedrooms and one of its living room contains a daybed that converts to a single. The only shared area is the pool and even then, both properties have a separate entrance. L’Ecurie can be booked with Thouvenin and there is a "hidden door" that allows them to become a single space. Cleaning is not included in the quoted price and guests are asked to leave the property in the condition they found it upon arrival. Any additional cleaning required will be from £50 and retained from the breakage deposit. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Heated pool - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Heated pool - Table tennis - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89930000/89922500/89922482/4bc3b0c6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fabulous gite with pool, orchard and in village with bar, baker & shops Migron - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space 9.2 Wonderful 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=89922482&PinnedHotelID=89922482&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool, a heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34030000/34026600/34026518/f2b6a07d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gite near Matha & Cognac, Private Half Sunken Heated Pool, Enclosed Garden..
