A PRETTY FRENCH DETACHED HOUSE IN A NICE GARDEN-10mn for Beaches or La Rochelle

As it was the height of a heatwave we were very glad for the garden area. We only stayed 3 nights but had a lovely time. Comfortable beds. Safe place for our dog, in a secure garden. Unfortunately we did not do any sight seeing due to the extremely hot weather. We would definitely come back for another visit at a cooler time. Lovely hostess. Thank you Josette!!

Josette was very welcoming and warmed the house before our arrival. The addition French cake and breakfast food was a lovely touch. The home is quirky, which is the only reason for not giving 5 stars. It was perfect location for a one night stop on our travels with our dog.

Host and property were completely delightful. Josette greeted us with home-made flan, as well as brioche and a gallette; she bent over backwards to ensure our stay was lovely. SO happy to have stayed there!

We enjoyed our stay but the weather unfortunately meant we couldn’t enjoy the garden as much as we would have liked. As detailed the property is quirky and quite small, so wouldn’t recommend for a longer stay

A little surprised by the quaintness of the oroperty at first but it was thouroughly charming and homely. Wonderful garden and patio areas with lots of interesting features. Very clean and very well equipped. We loved it, was always a joy to return after a busy day out and about. Lovely beach 6 mins away by car with good parking and nice restaurants. Opposite a really beautiful chateau. Host, Was very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay again

A difficult review to write! There is some truth in the more negative reviews, and the shower (over a typical French hip bath) does require a degree of athleticism not always granted to us older types - and is not the greatest shower anyway. On the other hand, the history of the site is fascinating, and the now decaying outbuildings were in their time a genuine wonderland complete with beach and pool fed by the mill race!! What remains we found comfortable and the shaded evenings in the warm garden were beautiful and will always be a fond memory. So my advice to future visitors is to read a good selection of the reviews on line and then decide whether you could be happy here. We were, we loved it, and we might well return. I do not know how much longer Josette can maintain the property in a rentable condition - but she is a wonderful host and in a short time we felt we had made a new friend. We recommend the host and the property!

Lorsque vous passez le portillon, vous tombez dans un autre monde: une verdure et un ombrage agréable nous ont accueillis en même temps que la proprietaire. Cette dernière est tres sympathique et très rigolote. C etait parfait. Surtout, qu´en nous faisant visiter sa maison, nous avons eu l honneur à un flan maison, une tarte au caramel salé et à tout le nécessaire pour le petit dejeuner. Apres, c est une maison qui a un certain âge, elle est dans son jus, on craint ou ne craint pas...moi perso, j ai passé une très belle semaine.

Un environnement enchanteur, un accueil plus que chaleureux par une propriétaire pleine d'humour ! L'emplacement est top entre Rochefort et la Rochelle, parfait pour rayonner. Facilité pour se garer et une petite maison charmante. Je recommande !

Maison et jardin très atypique pour notre week-end. Très bon accueil de la propriétaire, avec des petites attentions très appréciables.

Merci à Josette pour son accueil chaleureux. Gîte propre et bien équipé. Proche plages, La Rochelle et l’île de Ré.
