Great lay out and equipment for large family group. Everyone has an ensuite. The pool and garden were shady and cool in our unusually hot week. This ancient mill has an interesting ambience.
We loved the beautiful house and its spacious yards and pool. The house is incredibly unique, comfortable and beautifully, cleverly renovated from its mill days. For a family of 7 adults and 4 children, we were able to have relaxing communal time on the âopenâ first floor and outdoors in the spacious backyard while also having ample space for privacy in our bedrooms and bathrooms on the second floor. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare family meals. Although the area is quiet and idyllic, it is a short drive from a great river beach and a couple large super markets in Saintes. The hosts were warm, hospitable and responsive in every way - from the start when we contacted them for information, before our arrival when we had questions, and when they greeted, welcomed and showed us the property upon our arrival. All in all, the Annepont mill house is an amazing value and gave us a wonderful vacation that will be etched in our memories forever. We simply could not have asked for more from the hosts and their one-of-a-kind property.
Merci pour votre commentaire. Vous avez su ĂȘtre sensibles aux charmes du moulin qui en effet regorgent de passages secrets. Vous revenez quand vous voulez. đ
Der Empfang war sehr herzlich. Sehr nette Besitzer. Die Schlafzimmer und auch die Badezimmer waren sauber.
Die WĂ€sche konnte nicht im Schrank gerĂ€umt werden, weil diese fĂŒrchterlich nach Feuchtigkeit rochen.
Leider konnte man dies von den ĂŒbrigen RĂ€umen nicht sagen. Der Backofen war sehr schmutzig. Die KĂŒchenutensilien kaum brauchbar. Das ganze Haus ist sehr hellhörig. Wer gerne frĂŒher als die anderen zu Bett gehen möchte, hat schlechte Karten.
Auch konnte man die ZimmertĂŒren nicht aufstehen lassen, weil dann am Abend FledermĂ€use in die Zimmer geflogen sind.
Bei Regen ist das Wasser durch die Decken gekommen.
Im Garten konnte man nirgendwo in Ruhe liegen, weil dort alles voller Ameisen war.
Ein auf dem âersten Blickâ schönes GebĂ€ude, auf dem zweiten Blick, etwas heruntergekommen und ungepflegt.
Wir als Familie haben so etwas in den ganzen Jahren, in denen wir im Urlaub fahren, noch nicht erlebt.
Amazingly beautiful old mill with functioning water wheel in the lounge!! The owners are helpful and friendly. The living area is basic but adequate. The bedrooms are tastefully furnished all with shower/bathrooms. The garden is beautiful and very big with tables, chairs, washing line and bbq. The pool area is fenced off and is equipped with sun loungers and chairs. The route to the garden is interesting as you have to walk across the little bridges over the stream that runs under the house. There are pretty dragonflies, frogs and small lizards in and around the stream.
The farm next door sells its own butter, milk and cheese - twice a day you can watch the cows walking along the road past the front of the house to be milked!
Although there are no shops in the village of Annepont, the 2 neighbouring villages - Taillebourg and Saint Savinien do have supplies and facilities.
The property is not great for anyone with mobility problems as there are a lot of steps and uneven surfaces.
Overall though it is a wonderful property and we had a fantastic holiday.
