A lovely, restful holiday in a good location
We spent 2 weeks at this property and enjoyed exploring the beautiful area and countryside. Highlights were visits to the pretty village of Aubeterre Sur Dronne, the city of Bordeaux and wine tasting near Saint Emilion. On hot days we visited the river and lake beaches within 20-35 minutes of the property. The local Lidl and Intermarche are very handy for food. Being able to walk from the property to the little village of Saint- Avit and nearby fields and woods was very pleasant. The property has a large garden, nice pool and is well equipped for smaller and larger groups. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. We hope to return at some point.

Sanctuary
We visited Eric and Annick's property as a family of 5 (children aged 8, 11 and 13). It was brilliant. The house was clean and spacious, both indoors and out. We all played continual games of table tennis, jumping in the pool and were introduced to the game of Molky - great fun. It is in a great spot if you like secluded area but can walk easily to Sain Avit, drive 2 mins down the road to Chalais (brilliant market on Mondays and a Lidl supermarket) as well as various kayaking, tree top walks and a brilliant river beach at Aubeterre that we visited almost every day. Thank you to our lovely hosts Eric and Annick

Séjour reposant
Nous sommes ravis de notre semaine à St Avit et aurions volontiers prolongé le séjour. L'accueil par Annick et Eric a été très sympathique et la maison correspondait tout à fait à nos attentes. Du calme, de l'espace et la piscine pour se rafraichir! Une vraie semaine de détente pour déconnecter. Nous ne manquerons pas de donner l'adresse à notre entourage et de revenir pour un nouveau séjour. Caroline et Julien

Une belle découverte de la maison au milieu des champs. Idéal pour se reposer et profiter du paysage tout en jouant aux jeux de société, en profitant de la piscine et en visitant les alentours. Accueil très sympathique des propriétaires.

Agréable séjour en Charente
Avec ma femme et nos 2 garçons, nous avons passé 3 semaines dans cette grande maison au milieu des champs de maïs et de tournesol. Le jardin est très grand pour faire du sport, les nuits sont calmes. Nous avons pu entre autres profiter du circuit de Karting de Saintonge, du Canoë de Parcoul, de l’église souterraine d’Aubeterre sur Dronne ainsi que des excellentes glaces du glacier d’en face. Les propriétaires sont très arrangeants et à l’écoute. Nous sommes déjà nostalgiques de ce séjour !
