Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Allison and Brian
We are Allie and Brian and together we run La Rive. We pride ourselves on offering a personal service with quality accommodation, tastefully decorated in a stunning location.
Why they chose this property
We moved to France for a slower pace of life and we certainly found it. The Charente is truly stunning and we feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful house to share with our guests. We love the fact that we can launch a kayak or fish from the garden and just outside our gate are beautiful walks that can take you to a small beach at the weir in Gondeville or through the many surrounding vineyards and riverside cycle paths. Just a few minutes walk from the house is a boulangerie/shop, an amazing restaurant and a bar offering wonderful food and live music. We are situated opposite the new Flow Velo route, which is a resurfaced cycle path which follows the river and onwards into sleepy villages.
What makes this property unique
Its hard to imagine a house in a more beautiful area. Situated on the banks of the river, you can swim, fish and boat from the garden and because we’re opposite the famous Flow Velo, you can cycle into Jarnac, in less than half an hour, where you’ll find supermarkets, a spacious indoor market and many restaurants and riverside bars.
