About this house rental
A lovely traditional Charentaise house ('The Old Bakery') in Burie, 5 minutes walk to shops, 15 minutes drive to Cognac with its restaurants and distillery tours, 20 minutes drive to the Roman town of Saintes, and 45 minutes drive to the large sandy beaches of the West coast such as Royan.
At the moment we are implementing at least 2 days non-occupancy between stays, enhanced cleaning with disinfectant, and there is no person-to-person contact during check-in and check-out
It is one hour from La Rochelle (airport) and 30 minutes from Angouleme (TGV high speed train)
The house is newly-refurbished, very spacious, with comfortable brand new beds and mattresses, and with a large tranquil garden. It is perfect for family holidays, activity holidays, or couples wanting to get away from it all. It has central heating, WiFi, TV, a working fireplace, dishwasher, washing machine, oven, hob, and microwave and two impressive fireplaces. It was formerly the village bakery and is next to a Cognac and Pineau producer with vineyard. The market town of Burie has a well-stocked small supermarket, restaurant, patisserie, butcher, bank with 24 hour cash dispenser, library, and chemist all within 5 minutes walk.
The surrounding area is perfect for rambling, cycling, boating or bathing in the Charente river; visiting the Cognac houses of Remy Martin, Hennessy, Martel, and more; visiting magnificent churches such as the one at St Jean D'Angely or the Roman Ampitheatre in Saintes; or take an hour's drive to La Rochelle, the sandy beaches of Royan and Chatelaillon, or the islands: Ile de Re, ile d'Oleron, and ile d'Aix.

It was lovey. No restaurants, only in Cognac about 15 minutes away. We would definitely stay again.

We had a lovely time staying at Karl and Imtaz gite in Burie, Charente-Maritime. The gite was well furnished, and the bed was super comfy. There was everything you needed at the gite for a comfortable stay.
The gite had a garden to relax in, and plenty of garden furniture.
The gite was 10/15 minutes walk into the village where there was a Carrfour Contact and petrol station.
The bonus was the gite was next to a Vineyard and you can buy pineau and wine from the owners.
There are some lovely walks down the country lanes from the gite.
Lots of places to visit in the area including Cognac, Saintes and Jonzac. Royan, which is on the coast, is about one hours drive away, and well worth a visit.
Thank you Carl and Imtaz for an enjoyable week at your gite.

The garden is lovely and the housing is acceptable, particularly for a family. Very unique farm house type setting.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2017
Maison spacieuse, agréable, avec beaucoup de charme, jardin très mignon et calme assuré ! Néanmoins manque certain de propreté. Certes cette maison est ancienne mais cela n'excuse pas les nombreuses toiles d'araignées aux fenêtres et aux plafonds présentent dès notre jour d'arrivée. Idem dans les placards! Le canapé qui est normalement facile à nettoyer (simili cuir) était tout tâché. La table à manger ainsi que les chaises étaient collantes... De plus, toute cette moquette et ces tapis sont des caches misères qui ne donnent pas confiance en la propreté et solidité du sol.
A côté de cela, la maison est grande, bien équipée niveau buanderie (sèche linge), la literie est top, nous avons très bien dormis, la salle de bain était quand à elle très propre !
Et dernière petite chose, le jardin est très agréable mais on ne peut pas s'y installer confortablement pour manger (la table est minuscule même pour 3) et les bancs très inconfortables.
En résumé séjour très mitigé.
