Authentical. Historical. In a natural environment.
1. Our guests mention a cosy house ! A home-like environment (facilities).
2. The gîte environment is quite special !
3. The sightseeing program is very rich as the area where the gîte is located has a lot to offer !
4. Enjoy the river and the sea, which is only about 50 kms away, beautiful long sandy beaches and pine forests ! A countryside rental is less expensive than a seaside rental, plus being inland means less crowds and more calm !
As soon as you enter the property, you get a sense of uniqueness... as the private driveway takes you straight to the river - we have our own access to the Charente river, and this feeling will last throughout your whole stay... wether you relax in the easy chairs in the garden looking at the old stones around you, go for long walks along the river banks - a very special path from the house takes you to the village to buy your croissants or baguette aux graines, or enjoy melon au pineau bought at the local market, along with Bordeaux white wine in the garden, after touring the pedestrian streets of Saintes and La Rochelle or Cognac, or after a day at the long white sand beaches of the Atlantic or a trip to the local islands (' Aix ' - by boat only ! ' Madame ' - by foot or bike only, ' Oléron ' - drive on a beautiful bridge, ' Ré ', the trendiest), very "bobo" !
We hope you will like to do what we like the most on a perfect summer day with a bright blue sky : go to the Alassins beach on the Oléron island, or the Grande Côte beach, enjoy the waves, their sound, the great weather; drive back at sunset and jump in the river where it feels so quiet after the Ocean -;)
Plus, we have listed the top 10 sites in the area, without too much driving.
