At Carmagnac, our 5 adults-only retreat for two offers complete tranquillity, a private hot tub, full air conditioning and all the comforts you need for a relaxing stay — whatever the season.

Carmagnac — a little corner of France made for two.
Have you ever thought about a winter break in Charente, South West France?
Carmagnac is open 365 days a year and designed to be enjoyed in every season. Fully air-conditioned throughout, it’s cool and comfortable during the summer and warm and cosy throughout the winter. And, of course, your private hot tub is there waiting for you whatever the time of year.
Imagine waking on a crisp winter morning, with the countryside peaceful and the local wildlife already busy around you. Make a fresh coffee, step outside, sink into the warmth of your private hot tub and simply take in the sweeping views across the Charente countryside.
No rush. No timetable. Just the two of you.
When you’re ready, head back inside for a long, leisurely breakfast and decide what — if anything — you’d like to do with the day.
You could explore the beautiful villages and countryside of the Charente, wander around a local market, stop somewhere for a long French lunch or spend the day discovering Aubeterre-sur-Dronne or Angoulême.
If you fancy venturing a little further, Cognac, Saint-Émilion and Bordeaux all make wonderful days out. Or don't go anywhere at all.
Sometimes the best part of a winter escape is having absolutely nothing you need to do. Stay at Carmagnac, put your feet up and enjoy the peace and quiet. Read a book, watch the countryside change around you or simply enjoy having some proper time together.
As the afternoon fades and the temperature begins to drop, pour a glass of wine and head back outside. There’s something rather special about sitting in a warm private hot tub on a cold winter evening, looking out across the countryside as darkness falls.
Then retreat inside to your warm, comfortable apartment before eventually sinking into your Tempur king-size bed.
And then there's Christmas…
Visit Carmagnac during the Christmas season and you'll find we've brought a little festive spirit to the countryside too.
We decorate Carmagnac for Christmas, adding seasonal warmth, lights and a touch of sparkle to make your stay feel that little bit more special.
Imagine returning after a winter's day exploring the Charente to your cosy, Christmas-decorated retreat. Settle in for the evening, open a bottle of something special and later slip into the hot tub beneath the winter sky.
It could be a wonderfully different way to enjoy the festive season.
Winter in South West France has a character all of its own: quieter roads, peaceful villages, cosy restaurants, beautiful countryside and a wonderfully relaxed pace of life. Without the summer crowds, you get to experience another side of this beautiful part of France.
Whether you're looking for a romantic Christmas escape, a winter getaway for two or simply a few peaceful days away from everyday life, Carmagnac is here throughout the year.
Carmagnac is a 5-star, adults-only luxury retreat exclusively for two, with your own private hot tub — open 365 days a year.
So perhaps your next escape doesn't need to wait until summer.
Come and discover winter in Charente — and at Christmas, let Carmagnac add a little magic of its own.
