Just one of three beautifully restored houses at the award-winning Courtyard at Sainte Catherine, Maison Cachee is a traditional cottage where you can relax in peaceful welcoming surroundings and explore the lovely Charente region.
Formerly the buttery and kitchens serving the old priory, Maison Cachee is tucked away at the far end of the main house and offers peaceful, private accommodation for up to two adults, two children and a baby. The interiors have been completely transformed into a chic stylish little sanctuary, the whole Courtyard at Sainte Catherine site is warm and welcoming and the rural surroundings are incredibly therapeutic. Whether you’re at the gite star gazing and savouring home cooked meals or out and about discovering the Charente river, the abundant wildlife and the buzzing towns of Jarnac and Angouleme, you are sure to have a restful and restorative holiday.
If you can drag yourself away from the glorious setting of the Courtyard, then you’re in the perfect place to discover the region and the wonderful historic towns of Jarnac, Cognac and Angouleme.
