Charming townhouse B&B in Saint Jean d'Angely

Alice loves welcoming guests into her home, a charming B&B on the edge of the medieval town of Saint Jean d'Angely in the sunny Charentes area of western France. Junction 34 of the A10 autoroute is only a few miles away.

The lovely old bourgeois townhouse dates back to 1864 and has been transformed into a warm and welcoming B&B guest house.

Big, high-ceilinged rooms, marble fireplaces and the original beautiful old cool tiled floors have all been retained. But modern elements have been added over the years.

Step outside into the garden, a beautiful flower-filled spot, dotted here and there with fruit trees which provide welcome shade.

There is also another secret walled garden here too, complete with a well, a bread ove and espaliered pear trees. A special space indeed.

Say hello too to the hens who provide eggs most mornings for the breakfast table.
