Stunning comfortable family home

We were given a warm friendly welcome from owner Nicolas who showed us around his lovely homely farmhouse. The house looked stunning in the warm Charentes sunshine and is set in magnificent gardens filled with flowers and a fascinating variety of trees including cherry, apple, fig, olive, chestnut etc, etc. The top of the garden has space for games and would be great for kids. Although the house could sleep 10 we were only 3, my husband and I and our adult daughter. Our daughter had the upstairs with a lovely double room and modern fitted shower room and WC. Despite the warm weather even the upstairs was cool and comfortable. We had the downstairs bedroom, ideal for me as I have mobility issues and there is also a lovely shower room with large cubicle and separate WC. Although we had everything we needed downstairs I could still manage the wide stairs to the first floor. Larger parties should note that access to one of the downstairs doubles is through the other bedroom. The lounge has a comfy large leather suite and we really felt at home every evening. There is a large supermarket 10mins drive away and the historic town of Pons is on your doorstep. The Roman town of Saintes is a fantastic place to visit and is 20 mins away. Nicolas lives in Paris but his parents live close by in Berteau and we had their number for any problems. A lovely relaxing place to stay. The yellow cherries fresh from the tree were delicious.

Beautiful, tranquil and homely

We have enjoyed the most memorable and beautiful experience here. Our host could not have been more helpful and caring. This house has a wonderful, happy, family feel, from the moment we walked in it was like the house wanted us to have a great holiday. It was perfect in every way, and especially for autumn with the open fire. It was cosy in the evenings and bright and airy during the day. We would definitely like to return here.

Nicest Place I've Stayed - Anywhere.

Wonderful house with lovely garden in idyllic location. Everything about the house was almost perfect. Particularly the newly refurbished 'suite' on the upper floor with lovely shower room and bedroom. The property was clean and well maintained. Customer service provided by Nicolas, the owner (now resident in Paris) and by his father who lives near by was second to none. His father even took us to the nearest supermarket on the first day and waited to take us back to the house. He also lent us a mobile phone as we were having a little trouble with ours. The location was also excellent with many lovely places (Pons, Saintes, Congnac, Royan, Rocheford, La Rochelle) only a short drive away. I would be more than happy to stay here again and probably will at the first opportunity and would be more than happy to recommend this to friends (in fact, I already have)! In short, we had a lovely relaxing holiday in a lovely place and fantastic value for money.

Quiet and spacious!

Lovely house, very well decorated and furnished (with lots of nice details in interior design), with all you need in terms of appliances for comfortable holidays (machines...); the children loved the dormitory/big landing/playroom on the first floor. Large and sunny garden with nice trees. We had walks and bicycle rides in the local woods and countryside area; there are also lots of things to do over a day or half day: Pons, Jonzac, Mornac Sur Seudre for oysters, la Grande Cote nice beach. This accommodation is ideal for relax family holidays, it is very quiet with a lot of space for everyone! The owner was also very welcoming and helpful.

Magnifique propriété

Ancienne bâtisse typique de la Charente, restaurée de façon harmonieuse. Nicolas, le propriétaire, est à l'écoute et bienveillant ses hôtes. Cette maison est spacieuse et respecte bien le descriptif de l'annonce. Parfaitement équipée, que ce soit au niveau des sanitaires, de la cuisine, du séjour etc..Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable, la maison est située dans un cadre magnifiquement arboré et fleuri. Nous recommandons vivement ce havre de paix pour un séjour en famille ou entre amis.

I’ve been renovating it during 5 years with an architect support with the goal of bringing back the orignial set-up and style nased on the knowledge and picture I had. It is my holiday house which enables me to keep the link with my origin and where I can enjoy gardenning. I rent it because I’m keen to share my love of this place.
