About this property

Beautifully converted barn, 3 bedroom, 5 min River Charente, 40 min from beaches

Originally a barn this beautifully converted luxury, detached gite, has it's own private garden area, sitting amongst trees on the edge of the charming village of Crazannes, just a 5 minute walk from the River Charente. The nearest town is Saintes which as well as offering many places to visit with its Roman Heritage, has all your shopping needs.

This attractive, comfortable and very well equipped gite is ideal for family holidays with everything you would need for a young family. Or this peaceful setting is ideal for a quiet get away. Spend the day by the pool or relaxing in the garden. Or visit one of the many beaches most of which are just a 40 minute drive.

Also perfectly located for those who wish to explore the area or to just relax and enjoy the weather! With beautiful sunny days throughout the year this makes it a perfect location for walking and cycling and enjoying the surrounding countryside and for visiting the many beautiful towns and villages.

What's in the area?: With just a 40 minute drive north west to the Atlantic coast you will find the sunny beaches of Fouras and Chatelaillon Plage. And to the south west, still just 40 minutes, there are the beautiful beaches of Saint-Georges-de-Didonne and Saint-Palais-sur-Mer. With many more but unfortunately we haven’t visited them all!
With Cognac a 35 minute drive, tours around one of the famous Martell, Hennessy or Remy Martin distilleries are a must.
Just 50 minutes from the beautiful coastal town of La Rochelle, a must for any shopper! La Rochelle has a wonderful ambience with many restaurants bursting on to the pavements. Seafood is of course the speciality. Just 60 minutes to the stunning Île de Ré. With wonderful shops to browse round at Saint-Martin-de-Ré and an amazing choice of pavement cafes and restaurants, all looking on to the harbour. Île de Ré has many beautiful beaches and more wonderful quaint villages to wonder around.

Heerlijk verblijf!
We hebben een hele fijne vakantie gehad! De gite was netjes en schoon, net als alle andere faciliteiten. De bedden sliepen heerlijk en er was genoeg vermaak in de omgeving en bij de gite, ook voor onze dochter van 1 jaar. Catherine is heel erg aardig en behulpzaam. We raden dit plek erg aan als je een rustige en relaxe plek zoekt.

Lovely house
We spent a week as a group of four friends at the house. The house was lovely, the pool and the yard really nice and Catherin very welcoming. We enjoyed our time in Crazannes a lot.

Séjour dans le calme.
Maison très bien équipée, calme, espace important entre autre pour les enfants. Bémol, nombreux moustiques qui gâchent un peu le plaisir mais dont les propriétaires n’y peuvent rien. Manque aussi de documentations malgré qu’il y ait internet, et les syndicats d’initiative. Propriétaires très discrets et agréables.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Piner

Host profile image
We arrived here with our young family in 2003 with the intention of giving it a go for 5 years and we're still here!
We came here from Surrey, so the pace of life has slowed down considerably, not only is this a great holiday destination it's a great place to live too.
Both our children loved growing up here, they've only known the French school system so are far more fluent than either of us!

Why they chose this property

When we first saw this property and the beautiful garden we knew this had to be the one.
The huge draw was the the fact that even though the 'gites' were little more than shells used for storage and garaging we could see they had massive potential especially as they were completely independent of the main house and each other. So each house would have it's only private space.
The location is perfect, not a huge drive from the UK and when our guests arrive there are lots of interesting places to visit including some amazing beaches within a short drive.
It was a top priority that our guests would be comfortable as although generally the climate is warm and sunny it's inevitable that some days may not be so bright.

What makes this property unique

The thing I remember most was during our second viewing of the property, we were sitting on the terrace and could hear the church bell chime midday, beautiful! So very peaceful and our girls have often said how lovely it is to sit and listen to the birds, as there are so many trees in the garden there are certainly no shortage of those!
