Domaine du Prieuré is a homestead of 4.000 s.m. located on the boundary of the village of Tonnay Boutonne in the heart of Charente Maritime.
Nested in a park, surrounded by walls and fences, the magnificent mansion made of Crazannes stones was a family home in the 19th century. The main building gathers, on three floors, 13 of the 15 rooms. The ground floor includes the reception, the lounge rooms and the dining room.
Next to it, a small house, vestige of the ancient priory, gives its name to the Domaine, and contains two more rooms (one by level, the room adapted for disable is on its ground floor).
You’ll enjoy the quietness of its rooms in the morning, the calm of its park in the afternoon, the friendliness of its dining room in the evening and the relaxing atmosphere of its lounges all day long.

The hoteliers
Patricia et Franck
This type of hotel is rare in France.
We think it addresses the real customers’ needs, following the lodging industry mutations
– humanity and warmth
– confidence “a priori”
– hospitality
– simplicity et genuineness
The main characteristics of Domaine du Prieure are :
• Hosts welcome you in person, in their “home”. They do their best to make you feel “at home”. They help you to prepare a trip that meets your wishes.
• The cooking, simple and genuine, set the product in the center of the attention
• Breakfast is generous, made of fresh products from the bakeries of the village, brought to your seat by hosts themselves.
• It offers living rooms and outdoor places to rest, relax with others guests or privately.
• The property is at human scale.
• No room looks the same.
