Vienne rentals with pool

We stayed at Walnut Lodge from 22nd to 29th July 2025 while attending a wedding at a nearby château just 5 minutes away—and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. The location was absolutely ideal, tucked away in a peaceful setting yet just 10 minutes from La Roche-Posay, home to an incredible spa, casino, and plenty of local shops and restaurants serving fantastic food.There’s also a lovely market held twice a week that’s well worth a visit.Our hosts, Lisa and Bryan, were exceptional from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their beautiful home and gîtes—set against a stunning backdrop—were truly a sight for sore eyes. The pool was perfect (when the rain held off!), and what really made our stay extra special was their offer to transport us to and from the wedding, which was a massive help and so appreciated.And of course, we can’t forget Frankie, their friendly French Bulldog, who greeted us with a wag and a warm welcome every time we returned.If you’re looking for a peaceful, unique, and welcoming experience in the French countryside, we’d recommend Lisa and Bryan’s Walnut Lodge again and again. From the comfort and charm of the property to the kindness and hospitality of our hosts, we truly couldn’t fault our stay.Top tip: Make sure you have a car to explore the surrounding area with ease.– Michael & Jade

Had a fantastic time here everything you could want and more. Jo the host was there to answer any questions that we wanted before coming and while we were there. So helpful in so many ways. Property was lovely and clean with everything you needed. It was a bonus having the garden with the plunge pool especially in the heat that we had. Would highly recommend this property to anyone lovely walks around the property. Especially over the viaduct spectacular views little bar near the house. Very friendly gentleman there

This time of year we take our dog to Devon but decided to try France as a lot of the cottages had private pools Lovely area to explore with a dog and a village within a good walk to get fresh bread Not the biggest range of restaurants or supermarkets but adequate and the restaurants we did find were good

Excellent from start to finish. Fantastic house and pool. A real quality property. So peaceful and a quite enchanting huge garden.

We had the most incredible time at the gite. A large group of friends and their children had a holiday together and we had a fabulous time! The swimming pool was perfect and really safely gated. There was a very secure gate which only adults could really open which gave an extra sense of security. The swimming pool was gorgeous. It was the perfect size for the whole party and there was also a smaller paddling pool which was perfect for little children who cannot swim. This would warm up in the sunshine which was such a treat for the little ones. The garden is beautiful and expensive and there is plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy their own thing. We really enjoyed the ping-pong table and the little playground. The location is very peaceful and beautiful and there’s a local river which had the possibility of canoeing and local horse stables as well. Julia was a wonderful host and she was so responsive. On a few occasions we needed her input and she was very patient with us and kind. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home and for giving us a holiday that we will always remember. Eyes

An amazing gîte! It is so spacious and comfortably fitted 2 families and the location is excellent. We enjoyed playing in the river and launched our kayak at Bonnes which is a 5 mins drive. There is a shop there too. Sandrine and Fabrice were very fast at responding to our questions. I would definitely recommend this property.

Myself and my family have just returned from our ten day summer holiday at Barbara’s wonderful quaint property. Barbara was more than accommodating from the moment we arrived to the second we departed, a truly fantastic host! The large garden and pool had our 4 year old in his element the entire holiday enabling Mum and Dad plenty of relaxing time to reset. Thank you Barbara again! We’ll treasure this holiday for many years ☺️

This property was everything we expected it to be. Benoit was incredibly helpful. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. A peaceful and beautiful location.
