About the host
Hosted by Phil
My parents bought the property in 1996 and I have been coming here regularly since. I moved here permanently in 2018 and have built up a knowledge of places to visit that may not be on the normal tourist map.
What makes this property unique
The historic cities of Poitiers, Niort, Angouleme, Limoges, La Rochelle, Bordeaux, and Saintes are within easy reach.
