About this property

Lovely Large Charentaise House Near Shops For Families Or Couple

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.

Lovely stay at Burie.
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.

Séjour agréable au calme
Séjour agréable près de Cognac, juste dommage que le village de Burie ne soit pas plus vivant (pas de boulangerie par exemple). La location est juste a coté d'un producteur d'un excellent pineau et cognac !

Maison charentaise correcte
Une location bien dans l'ensemble. Cependant, 2 petits bémols : - évier bien trop petit dans la cuisine - manque un volet dans 1 des 3 chambre
