From the minute we arrived with the lovely welcome pack, we had a great 2 weeks holiday. The house was perfect in terms of size, location and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a great stay. We got great tips from Sue on events and music in the area. We ate out in the local pizza restaurant and in the restaurants in the port. We loved the huge garden and the pool. We'd love to come back again!
A beautiful house maintained to a high standard and equipped with all that you need for your holiday any time of the year. Situated on the edge of the village its very tranquil with a large garden with mature shrubs to ensure you privacy around the pool and patio (a little breezy at times). The village of Mortgane is very unassuming with shops, bakeries, butcher etc and a selection of welcoming restaurants and bars to eat and drink looking over the small harbour. A good base to tour the area or excellent relaxing holiday with every you need on your doorstop.

Very Relaxing Holiday
The property is set in an unspoilt village and is within walking distance of a few small shops.
The house overlooks vineyard and countryside and has a pleasant swimming pool in the garden.
The layout of the house makes it ideal for a couple or family. It is very clean and everything exceeded our expectations. We were sorry to have only booked one week as we would have enjoyed a longer stay.
There are several small towns and good beaches within a short drive and we had no difficulty in finding restaurants locally.
Overall, thank you to the owners for keeping good standards throughout. No problem in recommending this to anyone wanting a peaceful, relaxing French holiday.
We enjoyed our September stay in this lovely spacious property. The whole property was large and stylish with attention to detail which is lovely for a rental property. It was great having such reliable wifi and British TV for the darker evenings. We would recommend it to anyone looking for peace and quiet but still have access to amenities. Great to be able to wander into the village for a baguette or bottle of wine!! The pool was lovely and given the time of year was heated to a nice temperature! The area is beautiful for walking or cycling with Mescheurs a particular favourite. Local restaurants served good food at reasonable prices with loads of fish on the menu which was a delight!! Would highly recommend.
We had a fabulous week at the property. 6 of us there, plenty of room in the house and a superb garden. Pool was perfect for the weather, with a large garden overlooking vineyards. Plenty of outside space for sitting and dining. The house was immaculate, everything provided that we needed for the week. All communication with the owner was great.
The house is on the outskirts of a lovely village, we walked into the village every morning to get pastries for breakfast from the bakery. Thereâs also a small co-op for other essentials. We had a great meal at the port that we could also walk to. Itâs in a lovely area with lots to do.
Would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to holiday in the area.
Superb house, well equipped, tranquil setting, convenient for village shops, great value
This was my partner's and my second visit to this house with private heated pool and large garden, set on the eastern edge of the village, backing onto vineyards. The garden is screened from the property to the right of the house by large hedges, so is quite private. To the left is a field about 150 feet wide before the next house, which is also well hedged.
We love the tranquillity and the convenience - the village bakers, butchers, pizzeria and supermarket are all about 10 minutes walk away and the restaurants in the pretty little port/marina are about 20 minutes walk away (beware, there is a steep hill to climb back up from the port, which can be hard work after a meal!). The views over the port and Gironde estuary from the top of the village are beautiful.
The house is well equipped and comfortable with good WiFi and UK TV via FreeSat (and French TV too). There is a covered area behind the house with a table and chairs under it, which is great for taking refuge from the sun (it was 30 degrees C some days during our stay). The built-in garden BBQ was a good way to end the day with the sun setting and the large variety of birds flitting over the garden.
We think that this house represents great value for money.
As per our previous visit, the owner, Vikki is very friendly and responsive to messages.
I'm sure we will return again.
Our third visit in 10 years :-)
The house is in a peaceful lane, backing onto grape vines, on the edge of the pretty little Gironde estuary village of Mortagne sur Gironde. Huge garden, not overlooked. Great pool, Fantastic (new) big charcoal bbq, outdoor seating. UK FreeSat TV. WiFi is quite weak as itâs a very rural area, so wouldnât recommend if you want to do any work on a PC during your visit.
Bakery, butchers, great little supermarket and several restaurants in village, all within walking distance (or a short drive) from the house.
The owner, Vikki is fantastic; always very prompt communication and so friendly and helpful. It adds to the positive experience of the stay.
Great location and lovely property. Very spacious inside and very large garden-kids loved playing ball games and the little tea set went down a treat with our little boy. Seating area was a bit warm as no shade and sometimes too windy for the parasol- would benefit from an awning.
Fantastic facilities including good range of cooking equipment.
The bakery down the road was a must visit for fresh bread and treats. Villa only 20 mins from the beach and 40 mins to Royan.
Victoria was amazing at answering any questions as and when needed.
Family from West Yorkshire -UK
From booking this villa - to arriving - to leaving, everything was really easy. Vikki was great always ready to answer any questions straight away. The property manager Kim and her husband Phil are brilliant, very informative about placeâs to eat and where to visit. Anything you needed they sorted it out. The villa, garden and pool are beautiful. The Most relaxing, tranquil place we have ever been to. The only noise was bird songs which is lovely.
We would highly recommend this villa
We enjoyed a great holiday in the Sauvagette in Mortagne-sur-Gironde
We had a great holiday, enjoyed the villa and the location a lot. The swimming pool was clean and the water nicely warm. Victoria was very helpful and the communication went very smooth and fast! Thanks for all.
The property is spacious, well appointed with a large garden overlooking a vineyard. There is a good pool which is well maintained.
There are plenty of interesting places to visit and Mortagne itself is unspoilt with a good Bakery within walking distance. Well worth visiting the restaurants in the Port.
We had a superb stay the property is in a lovely peaceful and private location but is close to so many beautiful places we enjoyed it so much we have booked again for next year
Wir (2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder, 6 und 9 Jahre) hatten in dem gemĂŒtlichen und sehr gut ausgestatteten Haus mit einem groĂzĂŒgigen KĂŒchen-/ Ess- und Wohnbereich, einem tollen Pool und einem wirklich groĂen Garten - auch dank der sehr guten Betreuung - eine sehr schöne und entspannte Zeit.
Der gemĂŒtlich Ort verfĂŒgt ĂŒber gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (BĂ€cker, Metzger, Supermarkt) in LaufnĂ€he. Diverse Ausflusziele (Saintes, Royan, Medoc usw.) und StrĂ€nde sind gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt...
Comfortable and well equipped property with large garden and open views. The garden is private with good size pool and is not overlooked. It is an easy 5 minute walk to a village with all amenities . The surrounding countryside is pretty and varied and excellent for cycling on quiet roads and trails. Good beaches within half an hours drive - perfect relaxation for all the family.
A lovely, well cared for and comfortable Gite in a quiet location, just right for âgetting away from it all.â We enjoy being in France and the location offered all we were looking for, the chance to cater for ourselves using the local shops but also some good places nearby to enjoy the local seafood; not to mention the succulent cherries, courtesy of the neighbours cheery tree. Not to mention the local wines! A lovely gite in a lovely setting.
My husband is a retired London firefighter and I work as an Office Manager in an infant school. We are still as busy as we every were but both enjoy relaxing together when we can. We have been married for over 34 years and have four children and now a wonderful Grandson who we visit as often as we can. He lives in Devon so we have a very long journey each time. I have lived in Leigh on Sea, Essex since I was 7 having been living in Northants previously. My husband and I bought our first house together in Leigh on Sea and love living here. It is a very vibrant town with lots to do.
We bought a plot of land originially and had the house built as when we started looking at properties to purchase we were advised by a local estate agent this would be a better option. She turned out to be correct. Having a new build we did not have to worry about renovating an older property without the time to do it. The village of Mortagne was perfect for us. Whilst remaining quiet in our part of the village within a short walk to the Port you can enjoy the bustling marina and its restaurants etc.
We had enjoyed many a holiday in this part of France when our children were small and thought wouldnt it be lovely to be able to come back all the time. We were fortunate to find a very lovely architect company and estate agent who helped with the search of the land and support with the build of the property. They both spoke very good English and this was an immense help during the process.
We loved this house mainly because of the views over the vineyards and the peace and quiet we get when we come over to stay. It is our very own French Country Cottage. What we really liked it the fact we have a beautiful cottage in a wonderful village that has all the modern conveniences of a new home. It has been very easy to maintain which is very important when renting out to holiday makers. We want our guests to experience a home from home time without any worries. We think our guests feel the same and we continue to receive very good reviews. When we visit after the summer season has finished I am always amazed how you wouldn't know I have had a busy season with lots of guests. Everything seems to be very well looked after by our guests. I do have a very good property manager who looks after my changeovers and guests which does make a big difference. If you are thinking of booking with us you wont be disappointed.
