Beautiful house in a lovely quiet setting

We loved our stay. The house is comfortable and cosy has everything you need. The pool is perfect and completely private. And it's in a lovely quiet rural location. If you want to go out and about it's only a short drive to St Jean D'Angely - a beautiful ancient market town - and only about an hour to wonderful beaches. Lovely local walks too. Thanks Sophie and Chris!

Holiday in Charente

The gite was in a lovely, peaceful, idyllic place and perfect for relaxing. We couldn’t stop looking at the view from the gite into the garden! The gite was very comfortable and relaxing with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The pool was a great addition as well. Although quite remote, you can easily get into larger towns in 15 mins for restaurants and supermarkets etc and it’s close to many tourist destinations.

Beautiful house in a tranquil location

This was a beautiful house to stay in for a very tranquil week. It has been renovated to a very high standard (we loved the main bedroom overlooking the living room, as well as the gorgeous, light, airy, spacious living room/kitchen/diner). The pool was perfect for a dip at the end of a day's exploring. The area is lovely - very quiet in the immediate vicinity of the gite, but loads of interesting places within an easy drive. We enjoyed exploring St Jean d'Angely nearby, as well as Saintes, Cognac and Niort. We also had a lovely day on the Ile de Re and another on the Ile d'Oleron. Chris and Sophie are lovely - great communication before our stay and really helpful during our stay too. We would highly recommend their lovely house.

Peaceful, chill out, haven.

Lovely gite with all you could wish for, for a peaceful, chill out escape. Excellent facilities and living space and a great pool for those holiday laps & lilo drifting. Nicely equipped kitchen too. Hosts, Chris & Sophie, were able to help with any questions via text super efficiently :) Would definitely recommend. Oh! And if you like dark skies and looking up at the stars, this place is unbelievable! Living in London you forget how artificially bright our part of the world is! J&J x

A wonderfully peaceful and relaxing stay in the Charente countryside

We recently spent two weeks at this lovely property in Ébéon, Charente, & it was everything we had hoped for. Communication with the host, Chris, was good in the lead-up to our stay, with helpful information provided that made everything run smoothly. The property was easy to find.As Chris wasn’t going to be on-site during our stay, the keys were left in a secure key safe, & we had no trouble letting ourselves in. The house was perfect for our needs (three adults) – spacious, well-equipped, and extremely peaceful.The pool area is a real highlight: private and sheltered, with plenty of space to relax either in the sun or shade. We all agreed this was the most relaxed and chilled holiday we've had. Ébéon is a quiet little hamlet surrounded by countryside, perfect for truly getting away from the hustle & bustle of it all. We enjoyed a circular walk through the local lanes & fields – such a tranquil setting.A car is essential, with excellent local shops like Leclerc, Lidl, & a boulangerie just a 10-min drive away. We had some great day trips to La Rochelle, Neuvicq-le-Château, Angoulême, Château de la Roche Courbon, Château Dampierre, & Saint-Jean-d'Angély.No light pollution meant the clear star lit skies were incredible – we even spotted several shooting stars.Having encountered a few minor issues with the property, we addressed these directly with Chris and he actioned them immediately. Overall, we had a wonderful time & would be very happy to stay here again.

Wonderful stay with family

This Gite has provided us with a wonderful holiday we will remember forever. The location is quiet and tranquil and yet within easy reach of the local markets and some of the great sites of this area. The accommodation is full of character and just what we were after. Everything you need is on hand in the fully equipped kitchen, there was great wifi for the occasional work check-in and a new Samsung Smart TV for the odd night when we caught up with some Netflix. Our hosts, Chris and Sophie provided us with plenty of great advice about the gite and the local amenities. Travelling with Ryanair, it was great to have all our towels and bedding provided, as well as a washing machine to keep on top of things. The pool is clean, private and enclosed by a lovely old wall that must have been part of the building at some time in its previous existence, it provides a wonderful suntrap, but also has corners to escape the sun and just relax with a book. The garden views from both the gite and pool are extensive and full of trees and dappled sun. We enjoyed great trips to Ile de Re, Cognac, Angouleme and Saint Savinen, all of which are well worth the visit and within easy reach. A meal out is Saint Jean D'Angley is well worth it for a relaxing time and authentic French cuisine. The grassed area directly outside the gite provided a warm pretty spot for our evening meals surrounded by grapevines and flowers. We enjoyed several nights of Scrabble and cards. We will certainly come again!

Ein herrlicher Ort der Ruhe

Wir verbrachten traumhafte 11 Tage in Authon-Ébéon und können das kleine Haus uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Die Lage ist ideal um Ruhe zu tanken, die Einrichtung rustikal und der Gesamteindruck versprüht die ortstypische rustikale Gemütlichkeit. Alles war wirklich zauberhaft und Chris ein netter Gastgeber.

Unser Urlaub in diesem Haus war sehr schön. Die Lage des Hauses in einem parkähnlichen Garten war sehr ruhig und sehr familienfreundlich. Das Haus hatte durch die verwendeten Baumaterialien einen sehr schönen natürlichen Charme. Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war mega. Er hat uns viele nützliche Tipps und Infos vorab gegeben. Der innenliegende Pool war perfekt und von außen nicht einsehbar.

Beau gîte complet avec piscine et bel extérieur

Le gîte est très agréable avec sa piscine extérieure et le parc. De nombreux extras pour les enfants. Les propriétaires font tout pour être réactifs malgré la distance. Petit bémol : l'odeur forte de l'humidité dans la chambre
