About this house rental
This elegant home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests in 4 spacious bedrooms, with 2 ensuite bathrooms, family bathroom and a cloakroom.
Set over 3 floors the house offers a large well equipped kitchen opening into a dining room with an open fire, a large lounge, with open fire and a balcony overlooking the river.
The house has been decorated and furnished to an exceptionally high standard, having been modernised and renovated in early 2016, with a new kitchen, bathrooms and total redecoration, offering luxury and comfort in a beautiful setting, we have given a great deal of thought to your stay.
The garden leads directly onto the river Charente and we are happy to leave our canoes and kayaks at the house for your use for the duration of your stay.
For watersport enthusiasts the area is ideal, in addition to the canoes and kayaks you can hire a boat and explore the river, sail up to Port d'envaux stop for lunch and then continue to Taillebourg where you can try your hand at Water Skiing and Wakeboarding.
Being situated on the edge of the old market town of Saint Savinien we are within a short walk of bars, restaurants, shops, art galleries and not forgetting of course the magnificent river Charente.
We are fortunate to have so many things to do and places to visit locally to us, the following are just a few examples;
Horse riding at our local stables - Les 3 Allures
Canoeing and Kayaking
Water skiing locally
Hire a boat from Les Canotiers in St Savinien, from and hour to a full day, take a picnic and explore this beautiful river.
Cycling, bike hire available locally, cycle along the Charente and enjoy our beautiful countryside
Chateaux, Roche Courban, Panloy, Crazannes (the setting for Puss in Boots)!
A little further afield, Aquarium at La Rochelle, this is one of the largest Aquariums in Europe and despite living here for 15 years we still visit every year!
Zoo La Palmyre
Puy de Fou, well worth the trip, plan your day and prepare to be amazed.
We are close to the stunning Atlantic coast and less than 30 minutes to the nearest beach and with over 100 miles of breathtaking coast line we are spoilt for choice.
The chic city of La Rochelle is 45 minutes away, a must for 'foodies', also the roman town of Saintes, historic naval port of Rochefort are both within 20 minutes of the property.

Summary of reviewsBeautiful property with gracious hosts, well-equipped kitchen, tall ceilings, and modern bathrooms. Great river setting for fishing and outdoor activities.

Absolutly stunning property located in a quiet town, the pictures do not do the property justice exteamly large rooms adequate for a large amount of people, we spent 2 weeks in the property and were able to explore multiple locations all within 30 to 40 min drive away, and if you dont feel like driving there is a train station 2 minutes away allowing you to get around, all of the rooms have been carefully thought about keeping with the the age of the property, this has been one of the best places we have stayed in in some years and i would deffinatly recommend to other thinking of visiting

We had a lovely stay, the house is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Pretty garden just over the road - beware of midges in the evening! St Savinien is a great base to explore the area with so many beautiful places to visit.

The hosts are very nice and the house itself is gracious. Tall ceilings and well proportioned rooms, with beautiful details like the tiles and ceiling medallions. The kitchen is well laid out and well stocked. Showers and bath have plenty of water pressure and very hot water. The village setting is great, especially with the river. Good walks right on your door and convenient to many places to explore.

This was our first time using HomeAway and certainly won’t be our last! The whole process was efficient and easy and the communication with the owners was superb. The property is in a fantastic location on the river and it is big and spacious with beautiful furniture and fittings. There are plenty of utensils and equipment and the kitchens and bathrooms are beautifully decorated. The garden is so lovely under the tree by the river and we used the BBQ a few times. The town has a couple of bakeries and the super U is 5 minute drive away. Lots of places to visit locally and things to do and an hour from some lovely beaches.We enjoyed 5 lovely days in St Savinien and would thoroughly recommend it as a base but also a great home to spend time at too!
