Very quiet and wonderfully cool during the hot weather. M and Mme Jean were very friendlly and helpful.” “We arrived to a very warm welcome from M and Mme Jean. It was a great pleasure and relief to relax in such pleasant surroundings.” “The comfort and modernity of the gîte were a great surprise and much appreciated.” “Lovely house, lovely area and lovely hosts!” “We were delighted by the spaciousness and cleanliness of the house.” “This must be one of the best VFB gîtes that I’ve stayed in.” "The gîte was clean, comfortable, well-equipped and ideally situated for visiting places of interest in Charente. Rochefort - much to see and do; Aulney - a stunning Romanesque church. Supper in the garden in October!"
