The second time we have stayed here. Faultless in every way and we will hopefully go back for a third time. The pool is perfect and a must in the summer.

Wonderful Gite

We all thoroughly enjoyed this gite for 1 week. It is spacious, clean and had everything we needed. We loved the barn with table tennis and table football. Excellent well kept gardens and pool (cold!!). A car is a must as remote. Lovely places to visit in the area. Thank you to great hosts Marie Claude and Jean.

A lovely peaceful property, surrounded by beautiful countryside and with a magnificent pool!

It is a beautifully converted old property, with so much characters, but really good modernisations too. The bathrooms are excellent and modern - the two main living rooms have so much charm. The gardens are beautifully kept, the pool is the best I have seen in a gite, and the floodlit boules arena is a delight! Thank you so much to the owners whose communication was excellent, and who where most accommodating and kind with meeting us on arrival, pool cleaning visits and on departure. Thoroughly recommended for a relaxing family holiday!

Absolutely wonderful!

We had a great stay in the property of Marie-Claude and Jean. It's a beautiful house in the Charente area in the middle of sunflower fields. The house is perfect for 2 families - with 2 distinct sleeping areas and a large kitchen, a great pool area and several corners to sit and relax. The kids enjoyed the large garden for playing hide & seek and had lots of fun in the Arcade hall, where they played kicker and table tennis. We had a great and relaxing holidays and can only warmly recommend this house and its hosts. We would definitely like to come back!! Thank you Marie-Claude & Jean! Mieke & family

At last!

After honouring our original booking for 2020 we eventually arrived at the property and we’re not disappointed. A downstairs suite for my wife (recent broken leg) and myself was ideal and bedrooms upstairs for our sons. We loved eating out outside in the rear courtyard, spending our days by the pool and evenings playing Pétanque. We cannot fault the property and both Marie-Claude and Jean were excellent hosts; we will return!

A Return Visit

We are a family of 7 (5 adults and 2 children) who stayed her in 2019 and wanted to return in 2020 but Covid ruined our plans. We have recently enjoyed our 2nd visit which was just as wonderful as our first. This is a fantastic property with an amazing outlook over extensive fields. Marie-Claude and Jean have created a delightful atmosphere with every modern facility you could wish for. The private pool, not overlooked, was a great favourite with the children and the extensive grounds include a pétanque pitch & swing ball & volleyball facilities. In the barn is table tennis and table football so all ages and abilities are catered for. We fully intend returning next year and have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone wishing to visit this beautiful area. You won’t be disappointed!!

J’ai réuni ma famille dans cette superbe maison, et tout était parfait . Très bon accueil, maison idéalement située en pleine campagne ( avec une très belle vue ) les 4 chambres sont vastes , les pièces de jour tout aussi agréables. En plus de la très belle piscine, une immense salle jeux avec babyfoot et table de ping pong ont ravi les grands et les petits. Décoration soignée et propreté impeccable . A recommander fortement

Beautiful Gite set amidst peaceful countryside

This is a very well presented Gite nicely equipped and with lovely gardens and a great swimming pool. The hosts were very helpful and showed us all we needed to know about the house. Although not in a big tourist area, there are lots of interesting towns and villages nearby. All in all this is a lovely house to relax in with friends and family.

Très bonne expérience au milieu d'une belle nature

Les ados ont adoré et n'ont pas eu envie de sortir pour visiter les environs. La piscine, le ping pong, le badminton les ont pleinement satisfaits. Nous les adultes avons visité les environs et fait deux marchés très sympas.

Vacances d'été

Très bon séjour dans cette magnifique demeure, la communication avec Marie-Claude à été très fluide. Le charme de l'ancien et la modernité est très appréciable (équipements de qualité, internet haut débit et climatisation). La piscine en palier et sécurisée est vraiment bien tant pour les adultes que pour les plus petits. Le jardin est magnifiquement arboré, la vue est à couper le souffle lors des repas pris en extérieur et le calme est absolu. Merci, nous reviendrons.

Our favourite ever gite!

The friendliest, warmest and most charming of hosts. A beautiful gite, that has been renovated to a high standard, but retaining with lots of character. The photos do not do the property justice, it is delightful! The views are beautiful, the setting idyllic and peaceful. While we weren't blessed with Charente's sunniest of weeks, the five children in our group were never bored at the property or in the region of Sud Charente: swimming pool, hide & seek (cache-cache as we learnt), ping pong, petanque, even a train set! Away from the house we loved the market at Villebois-Lavallete, a day out at Aubeterre sur Dronne and a trip to a local Pineaud producer. I would strongly recommend this house and the area to any families looking for a relaxing break away from home. Thank you so much Marie-Claude and Jean! We hope to see you next year!

parfait

Nous avons passé une excellent séjour. Tout était parfait . La maison est vaste et d'une propreté irréprochable. Rien ne manque. Le jardin est immense et parfaitement entretenu. Le lieu est d'une grande quiétude ce qui est devenu rare et précieux. Aucune pollution sonore ni lumineuse la nuit ( parfait pour redécouvrir le ciel étoilé) . De nombreux jeux sont à disposition : table de ping-pong, baby-foot, terrain de pétanque, sports de raquettes et bien sûr le très belle piscine. Bref un endroit parfait pour se ressourcer ! Merci !

Le repos et fun en famille

Superbe propriété dans une belle région . Le jardin est très grand avec plein de petits coins à l’ombre ou au soleil. Jolie piscine, pétanque, tennis de table, repas à l’ombre… Honnêtement, il n’y a pas énormément de choses à faire dans la région, mais de jolies villages et églises. Aubeterre sur Dronne est interessant. Nous avons déjà réservé la maison pour l’année prochaine, ce sera la quatrième fois !
