About this property

Charming Period House With Private Heated Pool Nr St Jean D'angely, Charente

Les Rosiers is a large 4 bedroom traditional stone house nestled in the historic village of Lozay. Overlooked by a Roman church and bell tower, Les Rosiers offers an idyllic rural get-away with a private, mature garden with fruit trees and scented lavender bushes. The garden's stunning 25x10 ft private, heated pool ensures you can take full advantage of the Charente Maritime's long, sunny climate, second only to the south of France. A favourite spot is taking in balmy afternoons reading under the cherry tree. The large patio area is well equipped for dining al fresco and has a lovely view across the garden and pool. The house has been lovingly and tastefully decorated and provides a large well equipped kitchen including dishwasher, washing machine and drinks fridge. The dining area, which can seat 8, is framed by a huge traditional stone fireplace. Flowing from the kitchen is a large living room with ample seating, a Smart T.V and a traditional log fireplace, which is cosy in the Winter months. There is also a handy downstairs loo, for those less mobile or for children in and out of the pool. The oak staircase takes you to a single and three double bedrooms each with side tables and wardrobes. The spacious doubles have room for an extra cot or folding bed. The master has an en-suite and the family bathroom has a bath and shower. Les Rosiers provides an idyllic get-away set within rolling countryside and yet is a 5 mins drive of Loulay, which provides a small bar, a butchers, and a boulangerie and a cash machine. Ten minutes further in either direction will take you to the larger towns of Surgeres and St Jean D'Angely. Both towns provide excellent restaurants, supermarkets and weekly markets. You can also enjoy the historic clock tower and abbey at St Jean, whilst Surgeres has an impressive fortified church. Further afield, within an hour, you can taste the delights of Cognac, the waterways of the Venice Vert or the stunning Atlantic Coast at the seaside towns of Fouras, Chatellaillon plage, La Rochelle and the the pretty island of Il de Re.

Beautiful house, fantastic pool, perfect stay

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at this beautiful property, everything was just as good as we’d hoped and with the fantastic weather we really couldn’t have asked for more. Check in process etc was all seamless and very helpful instructions left to help us using the appliances. Thank you Jayne and Paul!

Sublime Beauty

We had the most wonderful time unwinding in this idyllic gem. The pool and garden are sumptuous complete with magical humming bird moths on the lavender. The inside is decorated in a very chic but comfortable way and the bedrooms are relaxing and cool. We would love to revisit.

What a beautiful and spacious house! Everything you need is there. Paul and Jayne are very welcoming and always available for questions. Everything was very clean. Nice beds made on arrival, plenty of towels. Wonderful pool, which provided cooling on hot days. For those who do not like to sit in the sun, there is plenty of shade in the beautiful spacious garden. Quiet location but at 4km there is a bakery and at 15 km there are several department stores where you can find everything. St Jean d'Angély is a very nice town with good restaurants and a beautiful market on Wednesday and Saturday. We would definitely go back.

A hidden gem!

This is a beautiful place! Peter and Jayne are outstanding hosts, who had regular conversations with us, ensuring we had all we needed for our holiday. They kindly left a lovely basket of goodies which were very much appreciated by us all. With 4 good size bedrooms, there is plenty of space for a family, beds are soft and comfortable, and bathrooms more than enough for the accommodation. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped with everything you could need, and the living area is very spacious. The house is beautifully maintained as well as the gardens, and the heated pool is an absolute joy to have. We had nothing to do but enjoy it, and had the pleasure of seeing our granddaughter learn to swim. If we could give 10 stars we would, and highly recommend this property. Already hoping for a return trip ourselves!

Peaceful and relaxing

Lovely and charming property in a remote and rural location. A car is a must with easy access to lots of interesting places....a welcome, peaceful retreat after some busy days! Pool was a lovely addition and the hosts were super responsive! Both the adults and kids had a lovely stay and the weather was great too, not that this can be controlled by the hosts :) but it meant we got the full benefit of the garden and pool.

Bonheur et zenitude

Nous avons passé deux merveilleuses semaines dans cette belle maison, très bien meublée avec beaucoup de goût, la vaisselle en harmonie et de qualité. Nous louons chaque année mais c’est le numéro 1 de nos locations 👍?. La piscine est agréable et le coin repos sous les arbres un vrai bonheur ... Bref le rêve !!!! Un seul petit bémol : la demeure est un bien appartenant à des britanniques, louée plus souvent à des britanniques et il y a une grande quantité de Livres et de dvd ... en anglais... ce qui est gênant quand on vient avec de jeunes enfants. Le lecteur dvd n’est pas une télé mais je dois dire que cela n’a manqué à personne et que nous avons passé de très belles vacances ... et nous reviendrons certainement. Les échanges que j’ai pu avoir avec les propriétaires ont été chaleureux et cordiaux. Donc une note de 25 sur 20 !!!!!!!

One of the most beautiful places I have visited

I visited this wonderful villa in June 2015 with my son,aged 8.This is the third time I have visited and stayed.It truly is a wonderful home with a great pool and with wi-fi is perfect for young children. It has an ideal location and from this area you can visit many of the surrounding areas,such as Santes,La Rochelle and St Jean, the closest town is so pretty and has everything you would expect from a small French town. The Garden is a lovely space to sit and relax,listening to the birds and church bells. It is both private and quiet.There are some lovely walks you can take from the house, my personal favourite is to the roman ruins where, you can see great roman structures up close and for free.You can take a picnic and have a great day out. The house is charming,very clean and has all the facilities you need for a great holiday.I would highly recommend this property and place to anyone.

This is is the second time my husband, daughter and I have stayed at this beautiful property and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Set within a picturesque location and a stones throw away from breathtaking sunflower fields you could not ask for more pleasing, tranquil and relaxing surroundings. The house itself as well as being beautiful, is spacious, well maintained, clean and has excellent facilities. There is plenty to do in the surrounding areas with many wonderful sandy beaches and lively towns within a 30 minute drive from the house. Our personal favourite towns and beaches to visit are situated in Royan, La Rochelle and Ile de Re. However, we would spend many a day at the house as it has everything you need and is such a lovely place to relax and enjoy your precious holiday time. We particularly love the luxury of having our own pool which is large and well maintained and kept our daughter entertained for hours on end! The customer service we received from the owner was second to none and nothing was to much trouble. We cannot recommend this property enough and are planning our visit for next year already!

The Price-Timmins family

Upon arrival, we were blown away by the beautiful house and its Charente surroundings. The house itself, is tastefully decorated to a high standard without losing any originality on its period charms. We all felt instanlty at home and very quickley, we were relaxed, sitting by the pool enjoying a glass of wine for the adults and juice for the children. The children indulged themselves playing in the pool for most of the day while we adults were able to keep a keen eye, eat and have fun too. The location is so peaceful and we all took time under the stunning cherry tree mid day, reading our books, listening to the local church bells, chime the time. The evenings were mostly spent at the house but we did venture to La Rochelle and other gorgeous local towns where the restaurants and local shops were just fab!! We are booking again next year and making this a regualr annual peace of paradise!!

Fun and relaxing

My wife and I spent two weeks in August 2013 with our three sons, 11, 13 and 16. remarkably, we were never moaned at because they were bored or hungry! With nearby supermarkets and lovely local shops sitting on the patio with a constant supply of breads and pastries was our and obviously our children's ideal. Between fun in the lovely pool, cycle rides, beach visits, badminton and of course football the boys were always fed, watered and entertained! We drove to Calais and then down to Lozay, which many people wouldn't think about with children, but if you make the journey part of your holiday, take your time and embrace it, it really can be a fun part of the vacation. We have, and intend on doing it much more. The beautiful house is well positioned and there is enough around you to keep you entertained, while being idyllic enough to help you relax and unwind from our real life's!!

Les Rosiers

Easter 2013 and 2014 we visited the beautiful house of Les Rosiers with our family and grandchildren. It has everything you need for a good relaxing holiday. We while away the hours in the tranquil garden and excellent pool area with a good read or laze in the pool with nothing to disturb us (The 12th Century Church with Bell Tower lets us know when it is time for lunch. We use the local village of Loulay just 5 mins away for delicious fresh bread and croissants. (it also has a good Pizzerria). If we feel more energetic we take a walk or cycle to the local Roman Ruins in the surrounding country side or a short evening stroll to the Roman Lavoir. We love to dine out from time to time and have found all the local restaurants v good. When we can coax the children from the pool and garden just 40 mins away we love to visit the beautiful clean safe beaches of Chatellaillon Plage a great favourite of ours and the children. Great Casino and Restaurants. Another favourite is Fouras with its amazing wide sweeping beach, boat trips to Fort Boyard and good fish restaurants. The bustling port of La Rochelle we visit late afternoon to evening to browse around the many artisan stalls enjoy the street theatre and of course the restaurants. We also like to visit the waterways at Venice Vert and the beautiful city of Cognac and of course the winery. Saintes is another great place we have visited with its beautifully kept Roman Amphitheatre Last but not least no stay for us is complete until we have visited the wonderful island of Il de Re. We dare you not to like it. Set aside all the wonderful things we do on our holiday, either relaxing or visiting. For us the house with its clean, spacious, tastefully furnished rooms, beautiful garden and pool with its welcoming atmosphere is the icing on the cake.

First Experience in Lozay

This was my first visit to this wonderful family home. I had my son of six years old with me and there was also my friend and her two children. The place was lovely and the private swimming pool plus outside area gave the children lots of space to play plus the pool was very clean and had a safety platform all around the outside edge of the pool which gave the young children security whilst swimming. It is a peaceful,relaxing and special place to visit. the memories I have of this holiday are truly special. It is also situated in an area that makes it easy to get to other places to visit.There is a a beautiful views of sun flowers from many of the surrounding fields with roman ruins within 20 minutes walking distance. Cannot speak highly enough of this property and all it has to offer.

Wonderful and peaceful

We went on holiday with another family We were 4 adults and 3 children and were amazed at the price we paid for such a wonderful house! The pool kept the children entertained while the adults sat around the patio or under the lovely fruit trees drinking coffee and discussing when and what to eat next! The surrounding area has plenty to do and lots of places to eat. But we loved the house so much we often cooked or had a BBQ . We are already looking for dates for next year.

An amazing holiday house in the Charente

Following arrival at La Rochelle airport ( a magnificent trip of only one hour's flight form London, Stanstead), we were greeted to the most beautiful array of lavender amidst the welcome site of this stunning country house. It is nestled within a small village and amongst the rolling hills and blue sky's of Lozay. The house was perfect for our family holiday and we were able to muse ourselves by the pool or go for trips to La Rochelle and regular visits to St Jean d'Angely where we enjoyed some wonderful local cuisine. Les Rosiers, supplied everything we required as well as having a relaxed and stylish ambiance, we enjoyed quiet evenings in the large living room or outside by the pool, with plenty of space for our children aged 4 and 11. This is real find and we are planning to be regular visitors!!

Lozay

This is the second time I have visited Lozay and stayed at this property. It is a beautiful home with private pool and garden area. The atmosphere is perfect and very relaxing. I have a young son of seven years old who loved swimming every day. It is a a lovely place for children and the property has great facilities for cooking,dining both indoors and out whilst also having facilities for relaxing,playing games,reading and watching the odd film or two when wanting to stay in. The local church bells ringing in the day make the place so serene. It is also situated in a position to visit many other places,such as La Rochelle, Santes and St Jean D'angley to name but a few by car. There is also a beautiful walk to the roman ruins if you are interested in historical sites. I enjoyed my holiday tremendously and would highly recommend this holiday home and all it has to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Jayne Miller

Host profile image
I live in London with my husband, and daughter.We have enjoyed many sunny holidays in the Charente Maritime and love the French way of life. Les Rosiers is our perfect antidote to a hectic working life.

Why they chose this property

I've been holidaying in France since I was a child and the Charente Maritime provides a great location. It's close to the UK whether traveling by air, sea or road. It also provides a fantastically warm climate, only second to the south of France. Les Rosiers is ideally situated, a rural idyll and yet within easy reach of all amenities, sightseeing, excellent restaurants and just 40 minutes from the stunning Atlantic Coast.

What makes this property unique

Les Rosiers is set within a beautiful 12th century Hamlet amidst peaceful rolling fields and yet within a five minute drive of all amenities, a further 10 minutes will take you to two larger towns providing excellent restaurants and impressive sightseeing.
