Welcome to Maureville Bed and Breakfast If you are looking for a French farmhouse countryside holiday, a short break to rest and recuperate, or just a stopover for en-route to faraway places, then look no further. Maureville is a 17th century stone farmhouse set in the Charente river valley, in the Vienne department which is in the region of Poitou-Charentes. We are 5 miles south of Charroux and surrounded by farmland, mostly grass for the Limousin beef herds that flourish here, but also wheat, maize, sunflowers and woodlands in every direction. The river, with all its wonderful wildlife, is across the field at the bottom of our 2-acre garden. It is a nature lover's paradise where you can potter along the bank in search of the elusive kingfisher, or just sit and relax in the garden and watch the hoopoe nest building in the barn opposite, or the swallows and black redstarts with their nests in the stables, or just 'chill', have a glass of wine and read a book in the sunshine. Through the trees we can see Beauregard Chateau and Beauregard farm, which is a prestigious equestrian centre. We are open all through the year and give a warm welcome to guests coming on holiday to experience French lifestyle and countryside.
