A fantastic stay, with everything you could need and a really wonderful host. The pictures do not do it justice, the pool is huge and the accommodation comfortable and well stocked. We will be back for sure!
A very nice owner who accommodated our last minute urgent booking out of season. We are very grateful for his understanding. The gite is well appointed, excellent facilities, rural ,but only 5 mins from a town with a supermarket. Phil was very helpful with any queries and was available at any time.i would recommend
The photos of the property do not do it justice, it is absolutely beautiful. We had a really wonderful stay here, Phillip was very attentive and informative. Lots of things to do in the local area, good sized super market only a 5 minute drive away.
We would definitely like to come and stay at the property again.
Thanks Phillip for a lovely stay
We went to Deux Sevres for the first time. Staying here was the best part of our vacation, everything in and around the house was perfect.
Deux Sevres is perfect to finally relax a bit in a busy life...
Magnifique contact avec le propriétaire, discret, efficace, serviable.
La maison est spacieuse, tout à fait équipée.
Des grandes surfaces sont proches (quelques minutes).
Nous avons vécu des vacances familiales très agréables avec des visites dans des villes voisines (Poitiers, Angoulème, Niort, le Parce des singes...
Tous ces lieux à 30 min ou 1 heure de voiture.
Le cadre magnifique plein d endroit a visité et surtout la vallée des singes
Excellent séjour l hôte très a l'écoute et très agréable pour nous nos vacances seront inoubliable bravo pour son professionnalisme du propriétaire je le conseille vivement
Le logement est conforme à la description, bien équipé, literie confortable, agréable à vivre et surtout au calme très appréciable. Très bon accueil du propriétaire et bonne communication au cours du séjour (merci pour le dépannage de la tv!)
Notre plus jeune fils ne voulait pas en repartir!
Prévoir un peu de voiture pour des visites (45 min à 1h); sinon petit supermarché à 5 min et centre plus important à 15 min (en voiture)
Logement à garder en mémoire

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.

The historic cities of Poitiers, Niort, Angouleme, Limoges, La Rochelle, Bordeaux, and Saintes are within easy reach.
