Fabulous family French farm House with pool in quiet hamlet .
Spacious, set in a couple of acres of garden and orchard it is surrounded by vineyards and a gorgeous, mere 5 minute walk to the village for your morning pastries. This is an idyllic relaxing place for family and friends to enjoy each other's company.
Iâve been coming to area a few times now and am glad Iâve found this property. It is a great property, feels private enough while being walking distance to the village. The photos donât do it justice. Lots of areas to sit and enough of everything that you will need.
The property had many attributes. The property is situated close by vineyards and farmland. It had a lovely orchard where the children could play freely, pick plums and apples which were later turned into cakes and crumbles as well as having a really lovely swimming pool.
As the weather was hot the children and adults used the pool daily and had a great deal of fun.
It was an easy walk along a path beside fields of sunflowers and corn to reach the village Boulangerie each morning when it was open to buy croissants and other goodies for breakfast.
During the second week of our stay the mosquitoes made their presence felt. This had been mentioned in a previous review of the property so we were armed with suitable repellants. There were nice places to visit - eg Pons and Jonzac as well as exploring along the Gironde and up to more coastal areas. Particularly nice was Port des Clonges which had a wonderful nature reserve with knowledgable staff at the information centre as well as a terrific park suitable for children ages 3 upwards as well as a very nice Tapas Restaurant.
We all had a wonderful time in this beautiful traditional Charentes villa, the photos do not do justice. The pool was great, the garden is massive. Recommend. Take insect repellent.
