La Maison Château d'Eau : piscine pour 6/8 pers, à proximité de Poitiers

Our family of 4 had a lovely stay in this beautiful house. It is located in a very quiet street near the lovely centre of Saint Benoît village. Downstairs the tastefully furnished kitchen and lounge overlook a beautiful big garden. We stayed a week and even on rainy days the large patio doors meant the house still looked very bright, with a nice view of the terrace and garden. Although We didn’t use it as the weather was too cold, the pool looked like it would be great fun in summer months. The upstairs bedrooms are comfortable especially for the children who slept in bunk beds. It was also so much easier to say in when the hosts are very responsive and friendly. Our family would love to stay here again. Don’t hesitate, book it!

The property initially looked rather unloved and although the ground floor was well furnished and equipped the upstairs was lacking. No bedside tables and very hard mattresses. The garden was overgrown and a lot of the plants had died from neglect. I understand that the owner is changing his staff so we made allowances for this. The gardener arrived as we were leaving. On the plus side our dog loved it. The enclosed garden is safe and the huge patio windows made for endless amusement. The housekeeper was charming and although she spoke no English we managed . I would rent this house again but would hope that the bedrooms had been improved.
