Wunderbar ruhig und erholsam

Frankreich Fans Krefeld, NRW, Deutschland
Review Submitted: October 4, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Als wir ankamen waren wir erstmal verblüfft, wie wirklich einsam das Haus mit Grundstück liegt, man hat nur einen Nachbarn, von dem man höchstens mal das französische Radio rüberschallen hörte. Ansonsten ist es ein mit Charme eingerichtetes Haus. Die Betten ein bißchen weich, die Spülmaschine hatte ihre Macken und wenn jemand duscht, sollte niergendwo anders Wasser laufen, aber ansonsten ...... hat es uns wunderbar gefallen. Das Grundstück ist wirklich groß, man kann sich wunderbar lassen. Der Baumbestand bietet einen schönen Platz für eine Hängematte. Auf der einen Seite begrüßt einen die aufgehende Sonne und Abends kann man sich noch von der untergehenden Sonne bestrahlen lassen. Der Pool liegt am anderen Ende des Grundstückes und ist wirklich so groß wie auf dem Bild. Er wird regelmäßig gewartet und so waren wir fast täglich nach unseren täglichen Aktivitäten schwimmen. Ein Auto ist wirklich unerläßlich, der nächste Bäcker ist in Barbezieux, welches man auch mit dem Rad, aber besser mit dem Auto zum EInkaufen gut erreichen kann. Die Umgebung ist geprägt von Weinreben, Sonnenblumen und Maisfeldern. Man hat viele Ausflugsmöglichkeiten, die alle mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen sind. Wir waren in Cognac, Angouleme, La Rochelle, Chalais auf dem Markt und haben uns viel romanische Kirchen angesehen. Alles wirklich sehenswert. Da wir uns immer selbst verpflegt haben, können wir über umliegende Restaurants nichts sagen. Die Küche bietet auf jeden Fall ausreichend Platz, gegessen haben wir sowieso immer draussen. Die Terasse war unser häufigst benutzter Platz am Haus. Wer Ruhe und Erholung sucht ist hier richtig. Wir werden, wenn wir es einrichten können gerne nochmal herkommen.
