A comfortable and quiet gîte with private pool, wellness massages

We have just arrived home from the most wonderful holiday! We can only describe the gite as paradise. We were so grateful for the beautiful pool to cool off in. Christine is the perfect host in every way. Such a lovely tranquil place to relax and a beautiful area to explore. We cannot say enough good things about this property. Definitely deserves more than 10/10!

What can we say but, wow! We spent two weeks in this beautiful gite and it’s the best we’ve ever stayed in. Peaceful location just 15 mins to La Rochefoucauld with a huge Leclerc supermarket or Montbron with an Aldi and Intermarche. Plenty of local shops and markets to indulge in too.Bigger towns like Angouleme and Limoges are less than an hour away, so plenty to see and do. But if you just want to relax, the private heated pool (I didn’t measure it but must be 5m x 12m and 1.6 at the deep end with lilos and noodles) and private gardens, complete with sunbeds, are all south-west facing so sun practically all day. The gite itself is wonderful with thick walls that keep it cool. Perfectly clean ample size rooms, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge, large and very comfortable bed (with ceiling fan), fitted bathroom, patio furniture, bbq, etc, etc, the list goes on, even multiple hangers in the wardrobe!! We wanted for absolutely nothing and we genuinely felt “at home”. I leave the best to last – our host, Christine. Her excellent English outdid my French, attentive and always on hand when needed but never intrusive. During our stay she spoiled us with cake, tomatoes and herbs from her garden, flowers and what was possibly the best tiramisu we’ve ever had. My wife took advantage of the discount Christine offers to guests on massage and came back totally relaxed. Christine, and Le Gite de Lou, have set a new standard and we will be back.

Gite de Lou looks even better in real life, very nice and well equipped. Very spacious private garden and a lovely spotless pool. Christine was very friendly and welcoming, and spoiled us with lovely tasty tiramisu and other desserts. We would highly recommend the gite which is set in a quiet rural area, and gives a taste of the real France.

A 2nd holiday with Christine and David at the beautiful le gite de lou. This for us is the perfect home from home with every convenience catered for. The swimming pool is always clean and well presented as are the gite and gardens. The hosts Christine & David are approachable and attentive without being intrusive. You really couldn't find a better place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the property which was very clean, warm, comfortable and has a lovely, private swimming pool. It is a great place to explore the nearby towns such as Cognac, Limoges, Angouleme and many interesting small villages. Christine was extremely kind and helpful and we have no hesitation in recommending it if you are considering a holiday in this area.

This is a lovely gite, perfect for a relaxing holiday and surrounded by beautiful countryside. Christine is an excellent host- and a master of the perfect tiramisu!! Wish we could have stayed longer than a week.

The gite was immaculate and very clean. Everything you could need was there but Christine said that anything we needed to just say and she would try to get it (never needed to ask for anything). Christine is a fabulous host even going as far as leaving us baked goods and fresh tomatoes and herbs from her garden. Thank you Christine for a fantastic stay at your gite.

Gorgeous gîte with everything we needed. Lovely outdoor space too for relaxing and eating outside. We enjoyed the pool too. Our hostess was lovely and helped to make our stay special.
