Maison du Couvent is situated in the heart of the Michelin starred and picturesque town of Villebois-Lavalette, which is about 20kms (12miles) south of Angouleme, (capital of the Charente department), on the Dordogne/Charente border, in South West France.

If you're coming to us for a week or so, within a short distance of Maison du Couvent there are rolling hills; rivers; huge landscape vistas; the Atlantic Ocean; fortified churches; castles; the bigger cities of Bordeaux, Angouleme, Perigeux and Bergerac; as well as many delightful small villages with heaps of character. And with the brandy distilleries at Cognac and Jarnac only 25 minutes away, there are vineyards a-plenty!

You have just got to come and experience it all!
