Fantastic family home

Family retreat like no other we have stayed at. It has great garden, big bedrooms great games room with entertainment for all the family .can't wait to go back. The owners have it set up and organised very well so the minute you walk in there's a manual for the house with local knowledge too of what is on where with directions. The pool is crystal clear and kept well. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for the quality quiet french get away

Our holiday in France 2011

The property was beautiful, if a bit remote. The pictures were very accurate. The plus side was the beautiful countryside surrounding the house and the lovely house itself. The downside was that with 2 teenage girls and 2 twenty somethings it would have been better for them if there had been somewhere near that they could visit bars without driving to it. The lack of working WiFi was also a major disappointment to the teenagers as their blackberries weren't enabled. If they could have used the computers we took with us, it would have been a lot better! As a family we loved the evenings cooking barbecues, listening to music on the I pods and playing games. The grounds were ideal for ball games. The neighbours were very understanding when balls went over the wall to next door. The best experience was when the local mayor invited us to the local Bastille day celebrations in the village hall. We met some ex pats who were happy with their lives in the area. Must see places were Cognac, where a jazz festival was on. Live Music in the town areas and an open air concert in the park. The distillery was an experience which all enjoyed. The other place we loved was La Rochelle where we had a wonderful Seafood meal on the harbour front. I would recommend the property for families with young children and couples on holiday in groups. Not so good for the offspring in the age grou of our family.

Hello Liz Slightly behind the times with my response - apologies! I'm glad you enjoyed the house and it's surroundings. La Maison Charentaise is certainly a relaxing place to stay. Regarding the wifi, it can be temperamental in rural France, as if there is a storm it can affect the signal. In such times, Orange advise us that if there is a storm brewing, TVs and internet should be switched off until the storm has passed. The Mayor continues to invite guests to apero evenings and to any events being held in the village hall. There's always something exciting going on in one or more of the villages. Best wishes Roz

About the host

Hosted by Roz Puliston

Host profile image
Hi. My name is Roz and I'm from England. I spent my teenage years at school in Malaysia and strangely enough developed my interest in French whilst there. Having visited France every year for many, many years, I fell in love with La Maison Charentaise when I first saw it, and hope you will love it just as much during your visit.

Why they chose this property

It was my first visit to The Charente and I fell in love with the house when I first saw it. A few months later I was living there. La Maison Charentaise is now a holiday home and a place where people have visited time and time again, because of its charm and relaxing atmosphere. Chill out by the pool, read a book under the fig tree with a martini, wine or coffee if you prefer, take a cycle ride around the countryside or a nice evening stroll. Pop down to the horse riding school or maybe go wine tasting. It's a great place just for relaxing at home, or visiting the other areas of the Dordogne, the beaches, Bordeaux, the Vienne or Limousin if you like to see a little of the area.

What makes this property unique

I guess I just liked the style of the mellow sandstone walls of the Charentaise house. It's quite private, with gated access and high walls. The pool was a bonus and now we have outdoor table tennis and an indoor snooker table together with other sporting equipment - a treadmill and a stepper if you want to keep up with your excercise! The pool is now heated and you can relax in the lazy spa.
