Summary: Le Chai is a gite which lends itself perfectly to a family of three or four and also to couples looking for something a little bit "special". It is situated in the lower section of the main mill building and is all at ground floor level with a level tiled floor throughout. Le Chai was custom-designed as holiday or longer term accommodation and so has all the facilities you would expect as well as the charm and authenticity of a suberb Charentais stone-built dwelling. To complete the picture, it has it's own privately enclosed terrace, with barbecue, overlooking the river Chazotte and into the woods beyond.
