Le Logis de Puygaty - Poitou-Charentes, France

Accommodation

There are 3 rooms in the outhouses of Logis de Puygaty, and a 1-bedroom cottage, which offers an extra dose of privacy and independence. All of these rooms have exposed stone-work walls, beamed ceilings and tiled flooring, with a mix of antique wooden furnishings, rustic metalwork and bold contemporary seating, all of which has been seamlessly put together by the designer-owners who have found many eye-catching pieces for these luxurious rooms.

All of the bedrooms in the outbuildings overlook the courtyard and are named after former inhabitants of the manor such as François de Lâge, the original owner who was an advisor to King Francis I. Each has an en-suite bathroom with shower, bathrobes, luxurious Bienvenue bath products, a fridge, flat screen TV, DVD/video player, iPod with a library of music and CD/Cassette player. Twins or king-size beds (using a bridge so no uncomfortable gap) are available in every room, all fitted with the finest linens, and the Pierre d'Arceluz bed has a white canopy which hangs from the ceiling by large hooks, once used as meat hooks and now unrecognisably transformed like many of the pieces in this magnificent manor.

The Maison d'Amis is a romantic cottage with a mezzanine bedroom, private living room with a working wood-burning fireplace for cosy nights in, a fully-equipped kitchen and bathroom.
