Germanas is an idyllic and tranquil hamlet located approximately
30km to the east of Angouleme, in the Charente region. It is the
ideal location for those seeking a relaxing, peaceful and rural
holiday in an unspoilt region bordering the Dordogne. The area
is a truly undiscovered part of France, with undulating countryside,
close to the historic Richard the Lionheart circuit. This beautiful
region offers a range of outside activities including canoeing
along the River Tardoire, rambling, cycling, birdwatching, fishing
and horse-riding. An excellent 9-hole golf course can be found
just 5km away.
Recently renovated, the 18th century farmhouse offers old world
charm with all modern conveniences, set in an elevated position
with magnificent views of the Tardoire valley. Adjacent to the
Manor house, it has its own fenced gardens and a swimming pool
- the generous garden offering a sun terrace with shaded areas
and facilities for al fresco dining. Those staying at the farmhouse
share usage of the new top-quality tennis court, set in the grounds
of the Manor house. The ground floor is mainly open-plan, hosting
a spacious and comfortable sitting room with satellite TV, video,
original open fireplace with wood-burner, and French doors leading
to the pool area. The sitting room leads to a large kitchen with
dishwasher, washing machine, adjacent dining area and a separate
WC. On the first floor there are four bedrooms (2 dbl, 1 twin,
1 with bunk beds) and two bathrooms, both with showers over baths.
