Une maison de vacances indépendante et calme

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren und erholsamen Urlaub in La Brunetiere. Das Haus liegt ebenerdig in einem wunderbar großen Garten, was für unsere Hunde das wahre Paradies war. Und auch wir haben es sehr genossen. Die schönen Strände von Les Conches sind gut erreichbar in unter 25 Minuten, Hunde sind dort gern willkommen abseits des bewachten Abschnitts und es gab jede Menge Platz. Einziger Nachteil ist, dass es in der unmittelbaren Nähe keine Restaurants gibt aber das kann man ja gut mit einem Ausflug verbinden. La Rochelle und Les sables d'Olonnes sind auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. David ist selbst aus der Ferne ein wunderbarer Gastgeber, sehr schnell und ausführlich beantwortet er alle Fragen. Kurzum, wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans la maison de David, nous avons particulièrement apprécié le jardin tres spacieux et le barbecue. Située à environ 25 minutes de la tranche sur mer, on peut a la fois profiter du littoral et de l'intérieur des terres. Une maison de campagne comme on les aime!

Très belle propriété au calme. Nous avons passés un très bon séjour.

My husband and I, and our three sons, first stayed in La Brunetiere in 2011. We have already been back twice, and we will be returning again this summer! We absolutely love the house, which is located in a small and quiet hamlet, and is perfect for relaxing! The house is comfortably and beautifully furnished and is always very clean. It is also very well equipped. The owners, David and Nicola, have thought of everything that you might need for your stay, including a well-stocked selection of books. The garden is also a real treat. It's spacious and secluded, and we spend a lot of our time lounging around in it! We also really like the nearby village, with its large church, shops and restaurant, all run by very welcoming local people. We have always stayed in the house during the summer, when there are lots of fetes, either in the local village or in the surrounding area, including a fantastic annual firework display at the nearby Lac-sur-Graon. We have also eaten in some excellent nearby restaurants, all within between 5 and 25 minutes drive away. My husband and I also really enjoy walking in the surrounding area. The big attraction for us is the beach at Les Conches, which is about a 25 minute drive away, and which is great for surfing. Even though lots of people go to the beach in the summer, the beach is so long, that it never seems to get really crowded! We love spending our days there, and watching the sun go down over the sea! We have also really enjoyed some great evenings in La Tranche-sur-mer, listening to live bands playing in the open-air. La Brunetiere has been a perfect place for us to stay, and we would certainly recommend it to our friends and our families.

The gite was very comfortable, clean and well-equipped, and all as described in the listing. It is in a very peaceful location on the edge of the little hamlet of Brunetiere, but only a short distance from the small town of Le Champ-Sainte-Pere, which has a good supermarket. A short drive away, the old market town of Moutiers les Mauxfaits has an interesting and very old Halles (covered market), and good shops and restaurants. Just off the main D949 road to Lucon, which runs south of Moutiers, there is an extensive Lotus Garden, which is well worth a visit (there are things for children to see and do, a restaurant, etc). Lucon is also worth a visit for its cathedral, and good shops. The sea is well within reach, as are village markets - the market at Angles, on the way to La Tranche-sur-Mer - is a good one. We were only able to spend a week there, but we would recommend it as a place to relax, or as a base from which to explore beaches, local markets, small restaurants, and many other things. La Rochelle, about a hour or so away by car, is an historical city and port, with very many excellent shops and restaurants. A car is necessary!

We enjoyed a lovely fortnight’s holiday in your idyllic gite. It was much bigger than I anticipated and surprisingly cool with the shutters closed, considering the beautifully hot weather we enjoyed. The setting was perfect - so peaceful and pretty. Our 2 sons (in their 20's) also appreciated the complete rest and calm it afforded. I quite envy your access to such peace and tranquility. La Brunetiere was well equipped, clean and well maintained with the information advertised very accurate. David was most helpful in answering all my initial questions and in advising places to visit. I would definitely recommend this property.

This is a home from home in peaceful surroundings we always have time to unwind and relax. The house is very comfortable with everything you need for your holiday. The garden is quite to lounge around if not exploring the countryside. There are some lovely towns and villages to explore. The sandy beaches are a short drive of less than half an hour. We have visited several times over the last few years and have enjoyed every minute.

We had a lovely time in La Brunetiere, as always. Such a quiet and peaceful house with bags of privacy. We'd recommend the house as perfect for self catering but not good if you want clubs and bars, which we didn't! Quiet, cosy and peaceful - just as it says on the tin!
