Fabulous gite with pool, orchard and in village with bar, baker & shops

Very comfortable with everything needed for a self catering holiday. Lots of outdoor space and we loved the pool. We had a lovely relaxing holiday and enjoyable days out. Saintes was a particular favourite. Nothing went wrong but we felt reassured that Bernal would sort out any problems. Grateful thanks.

We were house hunting in the area and L’ecurie was the perfect base. Everything you need is provided. Pool is perfect for cooling off and doing a few lengths. Comfortable and clean, perfect for families or couples. Highly recommend

Das Haus ist in einem sehr geuten Zustand, sauber und mit allem was man braucht zur Entspannung im Urlaub. Derr Pool ist sehr gut gepflegt und in einem sehr guten Zustand. Ebenso die Ausstattund im Außenbereich mit Tisch, Liegen und Sonenschirm.

Logement bien équipé, terrasse agréable et grande piscine. Même si le logement est mitoyen et la piscine est partagée, nous avons apprécié la terrasse privative et les entrées séparées. Beaucoup de choses à visiter dans les alentours et l’ocean n’est pas loin !

A very interesting property in a quiet rural region, but with good access to plenty of attractions. The house is equipped with everything you could wish for during a holiday, including a swimming pool, and several outdoor areas in which to relax. Julie, the housekeeper, plays an excellent role. She was friendly and very amenable, without being intrusive. Likewise, the owners were communicative and thoughtful - Antony pitches his correspondence perfectly. Our favourite things were the wonderful shower room and comfortable beds. We managed an enjoyable balance of relaxation and touring. We had two days at the coast, visiting L’Ile de Ré and l'Ile d’Oléron, and stayed close by for the remaining days, with visits to Cognac, Angoulême and Saintes. The markets are wonderful, frequented by locals rather than tourists, so we arranged our week based on where the markets were each day. Many thanks for sharing Thouvenin with us, Antony & Linda.

We originally booked to stay in the gite (l'ecurie) but due to a cancellation were upgraded to the main house (thouvenin), the house was lovely, clean, full of character and very homey. Everything we needed was there including lots of useful local information, Julie who looks after the house popped in a couple of times to clean the pool and let us have a look in the gite too (as we're nosy!) which was small but nicely appointed. The village was nice and quiet, we were only 5mins walk from the local shops which we used daily. Our 9yr old spent almost all week in the pool and we had the best of the weather too. All in all a lovely, relaxing week and really good value. Will definitely be back

Fantastic break in a beautiful location. The Gite was everything we hoped for. We spent hours relaxing by the super pool and enjoyed the Al fresco dining. We were impressed by the amount of places to visit nearby. We will definitely be returning.
