Charming XVIIIth century mansion with swimming-pool, pool, big parc. Weddings

Excellent for 3 generation family group arrangement outside next pool lawn and dining area great for young to play whilst "oldies" can sit and relax.good pool and interesting classic French house with an insite into a historic family

It was like being transported back to 1930s rural France. Beautiful house, Isabelle was superb- she even cooked us dinner and left us ice cream and bread as we arrived in a Sunday and didn’t realise all the supermarkets were closed! Borrowed their bikes and rode to Taillebourg and spent the afternoon drinking beer by the river! Pool beautiful, just great, thanks. It was tricky to find the entrance was the only thing. I would wholly recommend.

This is a fantastic property with a lovely relationship between house, terrace and pool that let's multi family occupants stay connected and private. It worked brilliantly for us even in record temperatures. We had stayed pre covid at its sister house, This one was even better for us. We used every bed. The bedrooms and mattresses very good, and whilst some showers were a bit dicky they were fixed in a day, so perhaps previous parties hadn't alerted or hadn't used the rooms. Masses of hot water, great selection of glasses, saucepans etc. Maybe upgrade the cutlery and the table mats..... and perhaps the main dining table....but if that's all we're choosing to mention you can imagine that nothing took away our great experience. The grounds are lovely and the service from onsite staff absolutely world class. Only 2 caveats you might like to know about ; First is that it is a historic house. And the owner is not trying to create an IBIS with every surface and door handle feeling like knew. It wears its age with charm and beauty and it would be a travesty to make it anaemic and immaculate. The charm would go. Second caveat is the the request for a 2k euro deposit cheque on arrival caused disquiet from some of our party, especially as we were returning guests. Either way.. don't forget to dust off and bring your cheque book. We left feeling it was a great choice for our multi family holiday

I didnt want to leave a review as it would attract more interest and I might not be able to have the 2 weeks we want for next summer, but this property was brilliant. we were between 9 and 15 depending of the days and we always had space . the park is very secure for the children, who enjoyed the pool, the bikes available and made dens in the garden, played boules, and were able to run around safely. the property is looked after by a caretaker who lives on site, in another house, and it is very reassuring to know they are there, even if we rarely saw them. the lady who welcomed us was very nice and helpful, available night and day if necessary. there is also a chateau within the park but it is about 100 m away and their swimming pool is facing the other way so both properties have their own privacy and we didnt hear the tenants of the chateau during our stay . St saviniens is only 5-8 min drive and offers market, super market, docteur, boulangerie etc and also children activities. we didnt visit that much the area as we were so comfortable in the house, but there are activities for all within the region around the property , for all tastes. definitely a great stay in a great house with a great landlord very responsive and flexible and the care takers as well as the lady meeting us (and doing the inventory when we leave) were just wonderful. we will definitively want to come back next year ! xx
