Location
If you are looking for a summer holiday, a long weekend or a short break in early or late season, our complex "En Campagne" with gîtes (self-catering apartments), and campsite is the ideal place to start a holiday of discovery and enjoyment in the beautiful Charente-Limousine.
The regions is not densely populated, there being just small villages and hamlets and no main roads to drown out the birdsong and where just the stars light up the night sky.
Living rooms
The complex of En Campagne, in the little hamlet of Essubras, comprises 6 gîtes and a campsite. The former 17 th century farm house was after 1970 renovated and enlarged into a holdiday centre. We renovated the complex in early 2004 into a gite/apartment complex with restaurant, terrace and a campsite.
Gite la Glane lies on the second floor (in the main building) and has a big, yet cosy living room with a laminate floor. The ceiling still has its beams from the 17 th century. The living area has a leather sofa and 2 leater armchairs.
The gite is provided with television, dvd, satelite.
There is a shared garden beneaht your gite/apartment, with garden furniture.
You have lots of privacy in your gite and the garden, but you may also choose to join others on the terrace near the restaurant, or near the swimmingpool. There are many beautiful spots where you can sit and relax and where you can watch and listen to the many birds
Strictly no smoking inside!
