Secluded Luxury House. Private Pool. Between Cognac, Angouleme, Royan. Bordeaux.

We had a fantastic stay, we highly recommend this property for a peaceful and tranquil stay. Steve and Harry are the perfect hosts. The Gite is very private and the outdoor area is just perfect. Our teenagers loved the pool and the table tennis table. The Gite is in a secluded wooded area but there are many amenities just a short drive away. This is definitely a prime spot to get away from it all and we could have happily stayed for longer. The added bonus being the fabulous Rascal (dog) and his visits to the door for treats.

We had a lovely week, Stephanie and Harry are very thoughtful hosts. The house has everything you could need and more, from a well-equipped kitchen to lots of games like fuseball and mini billiards table. The pool is a good size, comfortable lounge chairs, both sun and shade options around the pool. Very convenient location for grocery shopping, bakeries. Several nice towns to visit within 30-45 mins. Lots to explore 1 hour plus away. Stephanie and Harry left us to enjoy our stay, only stopping by to offer additional pool stuff they thought we might enjoy (very kind!) or wave hello in the evenings. I would definitely recommend this property and would like to return one day.

Gorgeous accommodation with such character and charm. The pool is huge and surrounded by a fence and a lockable gate for peace of mind. A fabulous terrace with covered dining area with a great BBQ. The kitchen is the best equipped kitchen we have encountered. The master bedroom is spectacular and the wet room is perfect. The whole house remained cool despite the high temperatures. The owners who live behind the property are so discrete. They are also very friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed talking with them. We loved it so much we've booked a return visit for next year!

The house is just gorgeous. Beautifully kept with everything you need - a real 'home away from home'. The kitchen is well stocked and we were greeted with a bottle of wine and some flowers which was a lovely touch. The pool was fantastic - a good size and surrounded by loungers. We have a 3 year old so the fence ensured he was safe and we could relax knowing he couldn't access the pool unless we were there. Although the property is secluded, there are great shops, restaurants and boulangeries a short drive away and it's a great base for day trips - our favourites were Cognac and St Emilion - both fabulous places. Stevie was a great host - friendly and helpful. A wonderful holiday.

Had a really wonderful week. Great communication beforehand from Stevie and lovely welcome pack. Also so helpful to have basic cooking products in the cupboards such as oil, tea bags, very appreciated. Villa was gorgeous, everything we needed- and so quiet and restful. Owners always available if needed but very respectful of our privacy. Pool was wonderful, kids spent lots of time there! Great location for day trips to lakes, river swimming, kayaking, villages etc. Thank you very much- really hope we will return one day!
