Reviews for this vacation house rental in Charente, France

Rating
5 out of 5

Charming and comfortable

prz London
Review Submitted: September 20, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Finished to an impressively high standard and with all mod-cons and creature comforts, the gite is absolutely charming, as are its owners and neighbours. With its two bedrooms and generous bathroom, fully fitted kitchen and sitting/dining room the gite has its own garden and terrace and shared access to the wonderful heated swimming pool. The gite, located in a small hamlet, is surrounded by lovely countryside and gorgeous towns and villages to explore. Markets for fresh produce if you want to cater for yourselves at the gite and the owners will share their knowledge of the local restaurant options, you can't go wrong! We love it.
