Manoir de Longeveau sits in peaceful countryside on the Charente–Dordogne border, just a few minutes from Aubeterre-sur-Dronne — officially one of France’s most beautiful villages. Our collection of self-catering gîtes makes an idyllic base for exploring this quietly beautiful corner of south-west France, with the estate’s heated pools, golf and tennis on your doorstep.
From the estate you can be in Aubeterre-sur-Dronne in five minutes, canoeing on the Dronne in ten, and among the vineyards of Cognac, Bergerac and Saint-Émilion within the hour. The Friday market at Ribérac, the prehistoric cave paintings at Villars and the medieval villages of the Périgord Vert are all within easy reach — yet you always come home to your own quiet gîte and the run of the estate. Bergerac airport is about 1h15 away, Bordeaux around 1h30, and Angoulême TGV roughly 40 minutes.
