In the Charente countryside, Domaine des Etangs is a restored chateau estate surrounded by lakes, meadows, forest, gardens and farm buildings. Rooms, suites and long-stay residences occupy the chateau and surrounding cottages, pairing stone walls, beams, antiques, art and contemporary comfort with views across the grounds. The estate includes walking paths, gardens, wellness spaces, indoor pool, library-like salons, art installations and seasonal countryside activities, giving the property a strong sense of scale and privacy while keeping the historic buildings, water and landscape at the centre of the stay.
