Very good
Reviews are presented in chronological order, subject to a moderation process, and verified unless otherwise labelled.
La propriété est constituée de plusieurs gites situés côte-à-côte comme décrit sur l’annonce. Pour un usage en commun, il nous a suffi de mutualiser les différents équipements (cuisine, …) sans problème pour prendre nos repas ensemble (en deux tables voisines).
Les propriétaires habitant sur place sont disponibles si nécessaire, mais restent discrets.
La propriété est dans un parc spacieux, agréablement aménagé et calme (on n’entend pas la route). La piscine n’est pas très grande, mais est chauffée, utile pour un été comme cette année !
Ça ne nous a pas gênés, mais nous suggérons aux propriétaires d’installer un ou deux répéteurs WiFi pour que celui-ci soit réellement disponibles dans l’ensemble des gites.
En conclusion, nous avons passé de bonnes vacances.

About the host
Hosted by Reggie Tamesis
Welcome to La Soliniere
It is our great joy to welcome you to La Soliniere, our lovingly restored 18th-century estate nestled in the heart of Poitou-Charentes. What was once a historic domaine is today a place of gathering, where history and comfort blend seamlessly to create moments you will treasure.
Here, amidst sunflower fields and open countryside, life slows down. The courtyard, at the very heart of the estate, invites you to share meals, laughter, and quiet conversations. Whether you are here for a restful retreat, a family reunion, or a joyous celebration, we hope you feel the warmth and spirit of fellowship that defines La Soliniere.
During your visit, if we are not around, our resident manager will be happy to assist you with any questions or requests. Please feel free to reach out to him directly, and if you need me personally, I am available via WhatsApp.
Our wish is simple: that you find here a sanctuary to relax, a place to connect with loved ones, and a setting to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.
With warm regards, Reggie and Joëlle Owners of La Soliniere
Why they chose this property
This charming stone-walled estate perfectly reflects the character of the neighborhood. As you wander through the quiet village, you’ll notice that stone houses define its unique atmosphere. The entire setting transports you back in time, giving you the feeling that life moves at a gentler pace—without rush or urgency.
Leaving the village via Rue de la Mairie, your view opens onto expansive farmland and sweeping sunflower fields. The road is quite flat, making it ideal for cycling, roller skating (especially with children), or simply enjoying a peaceful walk. Along with the many nearby biking and walking paths, it offers a perfect escape for anyone seeking tranquility and a break from the busyness of everyday life.
While you’re here, enjoy all those classic French clichés: delicious food, good wine, long lunches, cozy vibes, space, peace, nature—wild or idyllic—and that unmistakable French feeling. Yes, this is it. This is exactly the French dream we’re chasing, and we highly recommend everyone dive in and experience it for themselves.
What makes this property unique
La Soliniere is more than a place to stay — it is an 18th-century estate where history, privacy, fellowship, and French countryside living come together. With space for 35 guests to stay and the capacity to host up to 130 for events, it offers the perfect balance of intimacy and grandeur. The first floor of the barn offers versatile space for up to 130 guests for a wedding, an event or a conference setting, while the ground floor, poolside patio, and courtyard provide additional space for larger gatherings. Whether for family retreats, weddings, or celebrations, La Soliniere is a true sanctuary.
Just 4km from the historic market town of Chef Boutonne, this property is perfectly positioned amidst enchanting sunflower fields and vast open countryside, offering a serene escape whilst remaining conveniently connected. Spanning an impressive 1.25 hectares (3.10 acres), the entire perimeter is fully secured with robust fencing, walls, and grand gates, ensuring utmost privacy and peace of mind.
