About this property
Riverside cottages & watermill in Pons with heated swim spa / pool
We are located in the centre of town so you can walk to the bars and restaurants without having to drive. However we still have 4 acres of land surrounded by the river and countryside so it feels very secluded and private.
In the region of sunflowers and vineyards, midway down the Atlantic coast, the Moulin Chaillou nestles perfectly between the historic port of La Rochelle, the scintillating city of Bordeaux, the soft sandy beaches of Royan and the rolling countryside of the Cognac vines. Set in delightfully natural surroundings, Le Moulin Chaillou offers a quality waterside gite with separate access, in the ancient and medieval town of Pons, in the Charente Maritime region. Recently renovated to a very high standard, the gites are attached to the 14th Century watermill, brimming with character features such as original Charentaise stone walls and huge oak beams, pleasantly contrasting its modern facilities. Family friendly with baby equipment, gym and games area, bikes, fishing, canoeing and outdoor and indoor games.

Our family consists of Michael and Louise, and our three bilingual children, who have lived in Pons for the past 12 years. We are both from the South of England. Louise is a singer and performs regularly in the region. We have renovated the two cottages and the water mill almost independently and have learnt a lot along the way. It has been a grand journey and we continue to enjoy sharing it with our guests. Our door is always open for help and advice and an afternoon apero and you will find us very approachable and sociable. So dont worry about anything during your stay. just come to enjoy this beautiful region and relax!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property from the very first moment we viewed it. It is tranquil, beautiful and oozes charm. It is situated just 5 minutes walk from the pretty, historic and medieval town centre of Pons. So you can walk over our islands and across an ancient bridge to get to the boulangerie. The river is very picturesque and our four and a half acres of land provide peace and tranquility and freedom for the whole family.
What makes this property unique
We are centrally located but our grounds remain private and tranquil. There are great benefits for children and adults alike. As we have children ourselves, we can offer all the comforts of home and all the amenities that you cannot fit in your boot! Frequently our children and our guests children end up all playing together. We have an indoor and outdoor play area, with table tennis, pool, boxing bag and weights gym, outdoor swing and slide area. We are very excited to open our new spa and swimming pool for June 2018. It is a luxury that we have always wanted for our guests and is finally becoming a reality! It is heated all year round and has some excellent features including 5 places for a spa experience and 5 turbo jets that you can swim against to get a greta work out!
