Surrounded by landscaped grounds with avenues of ancient linden trees and groves of whispering bamboo, the elegant Chateau de Maumont will transport you to a world of relaxation and dream far removed from the stress of daily life. you first glimpse of the ivy-covered facade, the turreted private chapel, the wide sweep of lawn that looks out on the beautiful romanesque church of Magnac sur Touvre tells you that this is no ordinary place.
The tastefully decorated reception rooms, filled with art and furnished with an electric mix of family antiques, are warm and welcoming. On a winter's day they are the perfect spot to sink into a comfortable sofa, to read or listen to music, in front of a fire in the majestic medieval fireplace.
They are five spacious bedrooms furnished with family heirlooms, each with its own character, a blend of tradition and modern comfort. Standing at the Renaissance style windows with their leaded-glass panes you have a sweeping stone bridge, the smooth surface of the water broken here and there by the passage of white swans.
All is peace and calm and yet you are only minutes away from all that Angouleme offers. Exepeditions further afield, to visit famous local sites such as Cognac, Aubeterre, or La Rochefoucauld, are an easy drive from Magnac.
You will be greeted with a warm and personnal welcom, full of charm and discretion. Great care is taken to make sure your stay is extra-ordinary. Breakfast, served in the elegant dining room, is a delicious, inventive feast that you will want to linger over.
