Simply Charente

1 chemin du Vieux Moulin is a modern Charentais villa close to open countryside and vineyards. Situated on the outskirts of the village of St Simon de Pellouaille, the house offers spacious accommodation for up to six people in three large bedrooms (one double and two twins).

 

                            Grape Harvest

 

There is a full complement of modern conveniences, including a washing machine, tumble drier, dishwasher, microwave, television with DVD and video, and CD/radio with an iPod dock. For those warm summer evenings, there is a gas barbecue and afterwards you can sit out on the patio with a glass of wine to watch the sun go down over the countryside. We also make the phone available to our guests.

For your entertainment, there is a television (French programmes only), DVD player, video, CD/Radio with an iPod dock and a standard 3.5mm auxiliary input socket to connect an MP3 player or other device (you will need to provide your own connecting lead), and a selection of CDs, DVDs, videos, books and games.  We regret the sound system does not have a cassette deck. 

 

WiFi internet is available at no extra charge.

 

The house is fully double-glazed with modern PVCu windows and benefits from electric under-floor heating.

 

Note about videos, games consoles, etc

French TV uses a slightly different technology from the UK and the rest of Europe. A UK video will play normally in a French VCR, but French videos will only play back in black & white in the UK – this applies both to anything recorded off-air and to videos bought in France.

 

A Sony Playstation PS2 will play through our French TV provided you connect it with a SCART lead. We have not tested any other games consoles.
