Chez Nicholas, our charming Farmhouse Retreat in the heart of Longevea is a beautifully restored farmhouse that perfectly blends rustic charm with modern comfort. This spacious property sleeps up to 8 guests and is ideal for families or groups looking for an authentic French countryside experience with a touch of luxury.
Thoughtfully renovated, the house retains its original character, exposed beams, stone walls, and traditional features; while offering all the conveniences of a contemporary holiday home.
The ground floor features two stylish double bedrooms and one versatile twin/double bedroom, each with en-suite shower room and WC. Upstairs, you will find a fourth twin/double bedroom, also with en-suite, providing flexible accommodation for groups of all kinds.
The heart of the home is the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, a welcoming and sociable space that opens onto both front and rear terraces.
Whether you’re preparing a meal, lounging with a glass of wine, or enjoying a family breakfast, the seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living makes for a relaxed and enjoyable stay.
Step outside and you’ll discover generous private gardens, designed for making the most of the idyllic setting. The large enclosed and heated swimming pool is a standout feature, perfect for long sunny afternoons or cooling dips. Guests can also enjoy a game of table tennis, or simply unwind in the various lounging and al fresco dining areas.
The garden itself exudes a true farmhouse atmosphere, lush, spacious, and brimming with charm, offering a peaceful escape while still being just a stone’s throw from the vibrant social heart of Longeveau. With the clubhouse, bar, and on-site amenities close by, Chez Nicholas offers the best of both worlds: tranquil privacy and easy access to everything Longeveau has to offer.
At Manoir de Longeveau, countryside living is elevated into an experience of effortless refinement, where family-friendly comfort meets understated luxury. Set within the peaceful landscapes of the Charente, the estate is thoughtfully designed to offer both relaxation and ease, allowing guests to settle seamlessly into holiday life.
Mornings begin at a gentle pace, with freshly brewed coffee enjoyed on the clubhouse terrace while younger guests are entertained in the beautifully appointed indoor playroom. Outdoors, landscaped gardens and enclosed play areas provide a safe and inviting environment, complete with climbing frames, swings, and a charming sandpit. Adding to the authentic rural charm, children can collect fresh eggs from the resident hens—an experience that feels both wholesome and quietly indulgent.
For those seeking activity, the estate offers an exceptional range of facilities. Immaculate tennis courts, a beach volleyball court, and a scenic on-site golf course invite both relaxed play and more energetic pursuits. Heated swimming pools provide a tranquil space to unwind, while boules and table tennis offer easy-going entertainment for all ages. A dedicated wellness area, complete with yoga mats, allows guests to maintain their routine in a calm and restorative setting.
Safety and comfort are seamlessly integrated throughout. All swimming pools are enclosed in line with European safety standards, and many are heated for extended seasonal enjoyment. A separate paddling pool ensures younger children have a perfectly suited space to play, allowing parents to relax nearby with complete peace of mind.
As evening falls, the estate takes on a warm and sociable atmosphere. The much-loved weekly barbecue brings guests together for relaxed outdoor dining, followed by friendly football matches on the tennis courts—an informal tradition that captures the spirit of Longeveau, where families connect effortlessly.
Manoir de Longeveau offers a rare balance of tranquillity, thoughtful amenities, and refined comfort—creating a holiday experience that feels both indulgent and beautifully unhurried.
It’s no surprise that Chez Nicholas remains a firm favourite for families and groups alike, offering an unforgettable stay in one of France’s most enchanting rural settings.
