Escale cosy et bucolique à proximité de Saintes

Beautiful little property in the quiet village of Préguillac. Not far to the coast and an hour drive from La Rochelle and Bordeaux with lots of beautiful Vineyards to visit in between, and a 10 minute drive to Saintes with lots of restaurants and bars, as well as good shopping. Brilliant and welcoming hosts with cute dogs, will miss breakfast and coffee by the pool in the mornings.

A most wonderful base to share with our generous and accommodating hosts, Richard and Marie. They helped advise on where to go and what to see, but also gave us plenty of space to just relax and be. An idyllic spot with a beautiful pool and garden, which was a treasure to come back to after our days out exploring the region. It was simply a perfect holiday for us both - thank you!

The hosts are lovely and were on hand to welcome us. We had originally booked to stay 3 nights, but we needed to leave early. Breakfast is left out in the morning - croissants, orange juice, breadstick, jam and bread for making toast. We would have liked access to the kitchen. The bed is very comfy, although the room was a little warm. The bathroom is great, a fab shower and plenty of space. The kitchenette area was unlocked late afternoon and there’s a fridge available to use at any time. The pool is a good size, look out for the cushions to use with the two loungers as we didn’t see them on the first day and spent a few hours just with a towel on them which we’d taken. There’s also the opportunity to clean the pool which can be quite therapeutic as the machine doesn’t seem to catch all the bits. The grounds are beautiful and spacious. A car is needed to explore the area and we travelled to Royan which was lovely.

Wonderful hosts that were unobtrusive but on hand when needed for help and advice. The pool is beautiful to relax in and by, located in a tranquil a garden setting. I would highly recommend the property as either a one or two night stopover when going further into France or as a base for a longer stay to explore the larger cognac region.

We really enjoyed this week in early July. Great appartement in beautiful garden and very comfortable pool. The owners are very charming and hospitable and made us feel very welcome and made this week a great memory. I can strongly recommend a stay with them in Preguillac.
