Great house, lots of space, well equipped kitchen, spacious private gardens and excellent pool. Great location to visit several places of interest. Lydie and David were excellent hosts, lovely welcoming food/drink pack, they were very discrete but available if needed. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.

Relaxing and very comfortable gite

We had a very relaxing and comfortable stay at the property and everything was beautifully clean and well furnished. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed to cook for your family. We were welcomed with a much appreciated basket full of goodies when we arrived which was a lovely touch. The pool was wonderful and very refreshing after a day out sight seeing and our hosts Lydie and David were fantastic. Very friendly and available if you needed to know any local information. Thanks so much for a lovely stay! Isabelle and family x

Perfect Charente cottage!

We enjoyed a perfect, relaxing holiday at Lydie and David's beautiful house. The photos really do not do this house justice - it is much bigger than you expect - lots of 'extra' spaces with seating, including a mezzanine with desk and futon, so plenty of space for teenagers to spread out . We were only 5, but there would be plenty of room for 8. It is decorated to a high standard - very tasteful and comfortable. The beds are super comfortable, the bathrooms well-fittec out with hot, powerful showers, and the seating area is really sociable. We had lovely weather and were able to make full use of the lovely pool and the massive garden. David and Lydie are great hosts - there if you need them, they have thought of everything to make their guests feel comfortable, but they are also discrete so you have privacy. The house is well-placed for visiting Rochefort, Saintes, La Rochelle, Bourges - amongst other places, but we were also very happy just to relax in the garden. We hope to return soon!

Nous avons passés un agréable week-end prolongé en famille dans ce grand gîte tout confort et très bien entretenu. Lydie et David ont été des hôtes très accueillants et disponibles. Nous avons été reçus avec de jolis présents d’accueil et de beaux bouquets de fleurs fraiches dans la maison. On se verrait parfaitment revenir pour une semaine au calme en famille : piscine, baby-foot, ping-pong, un grand jardin clos, un centre équestre à proximité, un parc de jeux d'extérieur à 5 minutes à pieds et surtout une bonne dose de calme et de nature. De plus, de nombreux points d'intérêts touristiques se trouvent à proximité. Bref, on recommande !

Sehr schöne und geräumige Unterkunft

Traumhafte Unterkunft mit viel Platz (drinnen und draußen). Alles sehr schön und praktisch eingerichtet. Auch die Küche ist perfekt mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Ruhige Gegend - sehr freundliche Vermieter. Einzige kleine Kritik: der Pool hat Benutzungzeiten (Mo-Sa, 10-19 Uhr). Das ist prinzipiell kein Problem - allerdings sollte das in der Beschreibung mit aufgeführt werden. Zum Zeitpunkt unserer Buchung fehlte der Hinweis und daher kam das für uns etwas überraschend.

Erholung und Ruhe pur

Ein perfekter Urlaub mit der Familie zu fünft in dem geschmackvoll und sehr gut ausgestatteten Landhaus. Große Schlafzimmer mit bequemen Betten, Vorzimmer, Wohnzimmer, Esszimmer mit viel Komfort und Platz zum Entspannen. Küche sauber und gut ausgestattet. Ein großer Garten und ein schöner Pool zur Entspannung und Erholung, nach den Ausflügen in die Stadt oder ans Meer: La Rochelle und die Ile d'Oleron sind schnell zu erreichen. Sehr herzlicher Empfang von Lydie und David, mit guten Vorschlägen für die Umgebung. Wir kommen gerne wieder und empfehlen das Haus auf jeden Fall weiter.
