Séjour, maison et propriétaire très agréables

Maison spacieuse (nous étions 4 adultes, 2 adolescents et un jeune enfant), piscine de taille très suffisante pour se rafraîchir avec les enfants, barbecue très efficace, jardin agréable et spacieux. John est très sympathique et disponible, et l'emplacement offre de nombreuses activités touristiques et sportives. Un bémol sur la propreté qui doit être améliorée (tiroirs de vaisselle, poussière, objets divers sous le canapé et les lits) ainsi que pour la précision de l'annonce qui faisait figurer le linge de toilette et le savon qui ne sont en fait pas fournis. Nous avons passé 10 jours très agréables dans la maison de John, que nous recommandons sans réserve pour des vacances familiales.

Vacances sympathiques loin de la foule

Tres jolie et grande maison, beaucoup d’activités et visites à faire dans ce coin de France peu prisé par les touristes. Une petit bémol sur la propreté (par exemple mégots de cigarettes laissés par les précédents locataires partout dans l’allée, et nettoyage général un peu succinct à mon goût), l’endroit est assez paumé mais il y a du passage sur la route et les chambres donnent toutes coté rue, à prendre en compte pour les personnes ayant le sommeil léger. La gentillesse et la disponibilité de l’hôte et de “son équipe” sur place ont permis d’oublier ces points négatifs. Merci, nous avons passé une excellente semaine.

Genieten van rust en natuur

Ideale woning om te genieten van de rustige omgeving, daguitstappen te doen naar Angoulème, Brantome, Aubeterre en anderen. Lekkere restaurants dichtbij. Goed bereikbaar. Woning zelf is ruim, ideaal om er met meerdere kleine kinderen naartoe te gaan en toch te kunnen uitslapen. John vlot bereikbaar en steeds paraat met tips. Een aanrader!

About the host

Hosted by John

Host profile image
Hi We're John and Carolina, a couple who left the busy City life behind to buid something meaningful in rural France. Our Home sits on the border of the Charente and Dordogne, where we run Paramotorfrance and wellbeingfrance, combining adventure, relaxation, nature and good living.
From Paramotoring over Lakes and Chateaux's to quiet Spa Sessions sessions, yoga, riverside walks and great local food, we wanted to create a place where guests can truly switch off and enjoy life at a slower pace. Hosting gives us the chance to meet wonderful people and share the beauty of this region.
we look forward to welcoming you and helping you create your own story.

Why they chose this property

we chose this area because it immediately felt like home. The light, the River, the quiet lanes and soft rolling hills all create a calming, grounding energy. Its the kind of place where you wake up to be bird songs, breath in fresh country air and feel close to nature from the moment you arrive. We love the freedom and simplicity of life here.. Gentle riverside walks, Kayaking, caving, cycling , swimming in near by lakes, visiting beautiful market towns and villages and enjoying some of the best food and wine in France. Its peaceful without feeling ever remote, and every nr by town has its own charm and character. ( check out Brantome).
This region allows us to live a life centred around nature, well-being and community - and sharing that sence of calm with our guests is one of the things we enjoy most.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property truly unique is our private Spa, Available by special request and an additional fee - with a Floatation Tank, Steam room, Hydrotherapy Bath and Massage room. Its a Rare Feature for a country side holiday home and offers guests the chance to enjoy a boutique wellness experience in total privacy. Optional yoga or massage sessions can also be arranged to create a personalised retreat.
The Farmhouse itself Blends 18th Century character with modern comfort. Spacious rooms, high quality finishes, extremely comfortable beds and relaxed shabby chic style make the house feel warm, inviting and homely. Thick stone walls and ceiling fans keep naturally cool throughout the summer months.
Set besides a peaceful riverside with miles of walks from the door, the property is wonderfully tranquil while still being close to villages, restaurants and ammonites. with Beautiful lakes, medieval towns, Kayaking caving and great food nearby, its a place where guests can unwind and reconnect.
