Luxury Vacation Villas & Chateau Rentals in France- Aquitaine
MANOIR SOUHAIT
MATHA, CHARENTE MARITIME,

Manoir Souhait (meaning 'wish') can be found in the heart of Saintonage France, amidst vineyards destined to yield the renowned Cognac grapes. Magnificent arched Charentais gates flanked by a classic pigonnier, open into a lovely garden enclosure – a superb setting for this stunning 17th century Manor House and detached cottage - Le Verger. Sun terraces and a beautiful ancient ‘lavoir’ provide the perfect backdrop to the floodlit heated swimming pool.
The land and people are gentle and welcoming, echoing a bygone pace of life within a region rich in history and culture. Resting beside the beautiful Charente river are found the historical towns of Angouleme, Saintes and Cognac with the west coast beaches and the old cosmopolitan town of La Rochelle only an hour away. There are local markets and chateaux to explore, and pleasant afternoons can be spent in the discovery of delicate local wines and Pineau, a delicious cognac-inspired aperitif.
