Each month from March through to October brings a new special moment, whether its the Judas Tree, Catalpa, Asian Silk Tree or one of the many laurel trees. With trees, shrubs and stone buildings comes a wide range of wildlife including red squirrels, the Hoopoe bird (nesting on the property), cuckoos and wood peckers amongst many other varieties.
To the rear of the property is a lawn, cherry trees, fig trees, plum tree, blackcurrants, black gooseberry and raspberries (including the Californian variety). All of which you invited to sample when in season.

Nearby is Zoodyssée an animal park in the forêt de Chizé with over 50 acres of parkland. Futuroscope is 45 minutes away and the Atlantic resort of La Rochelle (75 minutes). Cognac, Bordeaux, Limoges, Angouleme and Puy du Fuy (voted the world’s best theme park) are all within easy reach for a day’s outing.

Lovely little gite in the grounds of their family home. Brilliant hosts, very welcoming and treated us like family. Closed the property gates so our dog could run mad around their large fully enclosed garden. A real home from home , would not hesitate to stay again.

A sweet property in a very quiet village.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2023
This was a lovely place to stay: an 'upside-down' property, with the bedroom and bathroom downstairs, and a very nicely designed living-room/kitchen above. It was very comfortable, and the owners were incredibly helpful and friendly - both in communication before, and during our stay. It's a very pretty, quiet village as well.
