Through electronic gates to your peaceful retreat. The house has been beautifully restored and is filled with a gorgeous mix of antiques and modern pieces – all enhanced by a good art collection. Spread out over a large drawing room with plenty of quiet reading spots, a dining room, a snug with a big TV for rainy days and a roomy kitchen with plenty of kit.
Bedrooms, all upstairs, are light and airy with shutters, gorgeous bed linen, tranquil colours and plenty of pillows. Two are en suite and two share a family bathroom. If you fall in love with any of the objets d’art, clocks, mirrors or pictures you see, you can buy them to take home.
Spill outdoors on sunny days to the pretty terrace with another big table, enjoy sunsets with a barbecue (you’re left champagne and local pineau), practise your yoga in the open-sided studio, ask for a massage – all can be arranged. It’s 3km to the bakery for morning croissants and baguettes.

What our guests say
A handful of reflections from those who have stayed with us.
What a beautiful place! The house and gardens are exquisite and the hosts perfectly attentive. It feels like you are in the lap of luxury, with a completey relaxed atmosphere. It’s a special area of France, still a bit of a secret, but so worth getting to know!
My 2nd visit to this amazing place. This time we stayed in the larger cottage, which was beautifully and thoughtfully equipped. The terrace was perfect for breakfasts in the Spring sunshine ☀️. Jason and Tim were as helpful as before and suggested lovely places to visit.
Maison des Ifs is such an amazing place, full of amazing details, vintage, nostalgia and modern comfort and design. The hosts are so warm and welcoming and their eye for detail is second to none. It was like knowing them already for years.
Can’t recommend them enough. Thank you so much!
We just spent 10 days here and wow what a place! Maison Des Ifs is a true hidden gem. Jason & Tim have created an amazing space comprising of a manoir (the main house) & gite (2 bedroom cottage) in beautiful grounds with elegant touches all around. The main house is truly magnificent with a kitchen to die for with enough cutlery, crockery, glasswear & cooking equipment for a large amount of people & a dream to cook in. The snug is the perfect retreat after a long walk or quiet evening in. With the temperatures a little lower we spent a lot of time exploring the local areas and visited Cognac, Angouleme & many of the smaller villages close by including our favourite Saint-Amant-de-Boixe (10 mins drive) which has the most incredible restaurant, patisserie, intermarche, tennis club (which guests can use) and even it's own stunning Abbey.
All I can say is wow! The house is beautiful, it has been renovated with amazing attention to detail and caters to every want. It had plenty of space for the whole family and the snug felt so homely. The pool and tranquility garden allowed for plenty of space to relax outside.
Hosts Tim and Jason could not be nicer and were always on hand to help and give recommendations.
I’m already looking to go again next year.
