We have stayed in this region on a number of occasions and have to say that this was the nicest property in an idyllic location. If anything the photos on the website do not do it justice and we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the rooms and the facilities provided. Eustelle was there to greet us and made us feel completely at home from the outset and was available for any queries we might have had.The amenities in the village were less than a five minute walk along the beautiful banks of the Charente river. Thank you Eustelle for the use of your wonderful home, we certainly hope to return Vincent and Ruth

Dear Ruth and Vincent, thank you very much for your very kind review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again. Best regards. Eustelle
We had a fantastic time. So peaceful and beautiful surroundings. The photos do not do the house and gardens justice. Eustelle greeted us on arrival and was in contact before, during and after our visit. This is a property that is a family home and has been in the family for many years. We were extremely comfortable, slept well and felt totally recuperated after our weeks stay. Backing onto the river, with a walk down into the village, the location is ideal. There are a couple of restaurants, but we only had drinks there. I am vegan and had to self cater for the majority of the holiday but I did expect that!We would certainly recommend this property for a relaxing, authentically french, holiday.

Dear Kelly, thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted that you had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We hope to welcome you back to our waterfront home again sometime. Kind regards
Quel bonheur !Cette maison familiale est un petit bijou : décorée avec beaucoup de goût, très bien équipée, elle a une âme. On s'y sent bien, tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur. En cas de canicule, les murs épais permettent de garder une fraîcheur naturelle, surtout en bas, si l'on ferme bien les volets. Et la Charente offre la baignade... au bout du jardin ! Port d'Envaux est un village vivant, avec des restaurants, une boulangerie, un petit commerce. Il est très bien situé pour visiter la région. Bref, je ne peux que commander ce lieu etmerci encore aux propriétaires d'avoir rendu, par leur petites attentions et leur sens de l'accueil irréprochable, notre séjour merveilleux !

Carole merci beaucoup pour ce si gentil retour. Comme vous l avez dit nous nous efforçons de garder à notre maison son caractère authentique et son histoire familiale. Nous sommes toujours heureux de faire partager à nos hôtes le village et la belle région de Charente. Nous vous espérons pour un prochain séjour.
Nos vacances dans cette belle région Saintongaise furent excellentes et cette charmante maison charentaise de Port d'Envaux fut, pour nous et nos amis, venus nous rendre visite, une belle découverte. Spacieuse, décorée avec goût , avec un beau jardin, en bordure de la Charente et proche du centre du village, nous y avons passé de très bons moments. Au mois de Septembre, tout est calme et il est agréable d'y séjourner et de s'y reposer après les visites. Merci aussi pour votre accueil - apéritif, figues, confitures - toutes ces attentions ont immédiatement donné le sentiment de bienvenue. L'équipement pour cuisiner est complet, mais nous également pu apprécier les très bons restos de Port d'Envaux - Le Gabarier et L'auberge de la Charente.
A recommender.

Nous rêvions de découvrir le charme des demeures charentaises... nous avons été comblés! Cette maison est vaste, chaleureuse, décorée avec goût. Le jardin est charmant. Quand il fait beau, on déjeuner à l'ombre d'un grand figuier et on prend son café dans les transats. Et au fond, il y a la Charente, la lenteur languide de ce fleuve qui apporte tant de quiétude.
D'un point de vue touristique, la région offre beaucoup de ressources. On peut, bien sûr visiter les ports, les plages, les îles sur la côte. On peut aussi découvrir l'arrière-pays, faire une croisière sur la Charente, visiter Saintes, une ville remarquable, faire des randonnées sur les sentiers en admirant la nature ; partout de grands arbres majestueux, des oiseaux, un bâti rural intéressant.
Merci aux propriétaires d'avoir su mettre à disposition en location cette maison familiale, chargée de souvenirs. Faut-il l'avouer? Nous l'avons quittée à regret...
