The house was so comfortable, well-equipped and tastefully furnished and decorated. We enjoyed the pool and the peace and quiet. First chance we have had to go abroad since the pandemic, and this was just what we needed. The pool and outside area was perfect. Communication was excellent and lovely to meet Debbie and Colin who couldn't have been more helpful. We like to explore different parts of France when we visit, so have never returned to the same place, but I would happily stay in this house again if we are visiting the area. Thank you for a wonderful holiday! ##### Jane M.

Grote schone geweldige woning in een rustig dorp. Van alle gemakken voorzien. Veel privacy. Heerlijk verwarmd zwembad. Perfect werkende WIFI voor de tieners. En airco op twee van de vier slaapkamers. Uitgebreide keuken en was gelegenheid. Grote garage erbij waar je wat in kwijt kan. Dorpje zelf is heel stil dus als je komt voor rust en totale ontspanning is dit een perfecte locatie. Wij hebben een geweldige vakantie gehad en wij zijn prettig ontvangen. We zouden zeker weer eens terug gaan. Gezin met twee tieners. ##### Erik V.

Ici, le must, c’est la piscine entourée de cyprès ! La maison, de par sa situation géographique, nous permet d’effectuer de belles visites : Saintes, Cognac, etc… L’équipement de la maison est assez complet. Nous aurions aimé utiliser une cafetière plus adaptée au nombre de locataires, des poëles et une planche à repasser en bon état. Les salles de bain sont tout à fait bien équipées et le linge mis à disposition ne manque pas. Un petit bémol concernant le couchage : certains lits sont très très hauts !!! ##### patricia z.

Zeer verzorgd en zalig dat het verwarmd is zodat je ook op minder warme dagen kan zwemmen. Erika is zeer vlot, en makkelijk bereikbaar en als goede gastvrouw in de weer met het welzijn van haar gasten. Ook de contactpersoon ter plaatse is zeer vriendelijk en staat klaar als er een probleem is. Wij hebben heel hard genoten en kom n graag terug ! ##### Lieve H.

Ideally located, away from the hustle and bustle of coastal towns, ideal for those who are looking for peacefulness and tranquility, but nevertheless not far from La Rochelle, l'Île de Ré, l'Île d'Oléron and even Bordeaux. It was the vacation of discovery. The discovery of a region very rich in culture and gastronomy, and very relaxing at the same time in an exceptional setting. The house, which has been completely renovated, is modern and functional and tastefully decorated. Absolutely nothing is missing. The private swimming pool is just splendid with its bluish-gray “liner” showing the most beautiful effect and without any vis-à-vis. We all have enjoyed it greatly. The owner is extremely friendly, very helpful, and attentive. We had a very minor issue which was resolved immediately, a lovely person. Colin, the English caretaker, was also great, very available, relaxed, and discreet. All in all a dream vacation, a fabulous house, a beautiful location, we will be rebooking for sure. ##### Sébastien S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan A. 12 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer 19 Fabulous property in a beautiful part of France.
