THE DOMAIN
Montmoreau is a charming French village, situated in the southern Charente, on the border with Dordogne and not far from the Gironde. It is located in the middle of a triangle formed by Cognac, Bordeaux and Périgeux and is therefore an excellent base for gastronomes and wine lovers. Our beautiful manor house “Les Mirandes” is located approximately 500 meters outside Montmoreau, a village where you can admire a 12th century Romanesque church and an old castle, while still being able to count on all modern amenities. "Les Mirandes" is located on an old pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and was in the past a place where pilgrims could spend the night and have a meal. As a silent witness to this history, the large wooden cross that symbolizes the ultimate hospitality is still located on our property.
'Les Mirandes' is located within walking distance just outside the village on a hill, from where you have a beautiful view of the valley. The domain of almost 7 ha is dominated by an elegant, very cozy 19th century country house or 'manoir' where you can count on all the necessary comfort and hospitality. In the building complex of the former inn, cozy gîtes have been furnished and there is also a ceramics studio. The whole is surrounded by a landscaped garden, a vineyard, an orchard and a piece of untouched forest.
"Les Mirandes" has not stolen its name (literally means: place from where one can observe the surroundings freely). The manor offers a beautiful view over the valley and the lower situated Montmoreau.
