Séjour exceptionnel au gîte l’échappée belle
Nous avons passé une séjour magnifique en famille dans le gîte . La maison est immense et permet à chacun de trouver un espace pour lire , jouer , cuisiner . Les espaces extérieurs sont spacieux et la maison à côté de la piscine permet de ne pas déranger la maison principal lorsque tout le monde dort ! Les équipements présents sur place sont très agréables (jeux de piscine , tables extérieurs … ) nous recommandons chaleureusement. Le service de conciergerie est très disponible pour toutes les questions même les jours fériés bravo !!
Stayed 4 nights in May 2024

Hello everyone,

My name is Laura, native of Charente, I created this Concierge which aims to offer comfortable accommodation to my travelers and to help owners manage their short-term rental properties.

Our accommodation is modern or traditional, sometimes recently renovated and fully equipped and furnished with everything you will need on a daily basis. A place where you can feel at home with hotel services to boot! Every detail is designed for you to relax and enjoy from the moment you walk through the door.

Thanks to the concierge service, take advantage of numerous offers from our partners in various tourism and catering sectors during your stay. We also offer many services such as personalizing your accommodation, delivery of groceries and meals, breakfasts, loan of childcare equipment, etc.

I also take advantage of this activity to promote our Charente heritage and promote our local artisans.

It is with generosity that I intend to welcome you!
