About this property

Spacious, double height, beamed main space. This gite is in a rural setting.

Spacious, double height, beamed main space. This cottage/gite is in a rural setting with Montendre just 3kms away with supermarkets, restaurants, wine bar etc..
Situated in south Charente Maritime, the property is ideally located to explore a wealth of interesting areas - Bordeaux, Royan, Cognac, Angouleme, The Dordogne, St Emillion.
We also have Talmont and Aubeterre, two of the Beaux Villages of France, within a short drive and they are well worth a visit.
The area is rich with lots to see and do, there are many chateaux to explore, beaches to visit, watersports to try, fishing, golf and always plenty for the kids to do. Relaxing, exploring or a mix of everything, the choice is yours.
We have many airport options:- Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Limoges and Bergerac, or if you want to grab the ferry it is a simple drive down the west coast to the property.
Montendre is our local market town with cafes, restaurants, supermarkets and from the Chateau on the top of the hill you can see for miles across the countryside. It has a good weekly market throughout the year and a vibrant evening market during July & August where locals and visitors come together for food, music and wine. Montendre Lac is just 5kms away with a beach, swimming pool and play areas, paddle boats, canoeing and fishing. A recent addition to the town is Mysterra, a collection of mazes for all the family to enjoy. There is tennis, a 9 hole golf course and for those looking for more there are six excellent 18 holes courses within easy reach. Jonzac is 20kms to the north and has a great water park and a spa. There are many many beaches heading up and down the coast and if you fancy a climb there is the Dune de Pilat, the largest sand dune in Europe.
We have an additional property on site, Libellule, which sleeps 6, so if you wanted to extend your family group, we can accommodate up to 10 (+2).

Peace in the countryside

Lovely gite and very helpful, friendly owners, Graeme and Anne. Good access to many wonderful locations. Next door to a second gite with shared pool, so some affect if neighbours are loud or hog the pool, but there are alternative locations to swim in the lake nearby if they do.

Super séjour !

Nous avons passé un super séjour ! Tout était très propre et les propriétaires étaient vraiment très prévenants. Nous avons adoré la quiétude, le calme de cet endroit isolé qui permet une déconnexion totale. Tout ce dont nous avions besoin était présent. Nous notons bien l'adresse pour y retourner dans le futur et le recommandons !

Petit Havre de paix en campagne

Proche de Jonzac et Cognac, nous avons apprécié le calme des lieux. Le logement est impeccable et propre. La piscine non chauffée est à partager avec l'autre gîte de 6 personnes. Nous sommes tombés sur des voisins sympas , ouf ... Les propriétaires sont installés à côté, ils ne partent pas le français. Des petites attentions, vins œufs confiture pain....pour nous accueillir. Points négatifs : WC dans la SdB Manque d'étagères dans la SdB Pas de clim

Séjour reposant

Très agréable séjour chez Graeme et Anne qui sont aux petits soins pour leur locataires, discrets et très prévenants. Les équipements sont de qualité et le lieu convivial. La salle de jeux est un vrai plus pour les petits et les grands.

Au niveau internet et écran

Ont a trouvés quelques lacunes au niveau de la place de jeux, le billard et un peu ancien, et mal équilibré du coup. Puis le plus important c’est que les chaînes de tv sont en anglais donc à mentionner sur le site, car vu que l’on est en France ont pensent que l’ont a au moins 1 chaîne française

About the host

Host profile image
Hi I'm Graeme, I live with my partner Anne (camera shy). After long careers in the IT industry we were looking for a new adventure and we certainly found one. We have spent the last 3 years developing Papillon and then Libellule. It is so lovely to meet new guests and hear their stories and also to catch up with guests returning each summer.
