Wunderbares Bauernhaus in totaler Ruhe, mit großem Pool und unendlich viel Platz. Sehr nette Vermieter. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

About the host
Hosted by judy hammond
We live in Hampshire and as now are semi-retired are able to visit our home in the Charente-Maritime when grand parental duties allow! We have enjoyed renovating the property over the years and always find another project to enjoy.
Why they chose this property
My husband did a french exchange starting when he was twelve years old with a family from Paris who took their annual holiday in August (!) in nearby Royan. He was therefore familiar with the area and was keen to get a holiday home there when the opportunity arose. Its very accessible from the UK and is in a quiet country hamlet with friendly neighbours but still is straightforward to get to Bordeaux , Saintes or La Rochelle if one hankers for a bit more "life".
What makes this property unique
Lovely sandy beaches and excellent seafood to be enjoyed along the coast. Easy cycling on fairly flat countryside through abundant agriculture. The farmhouse benefits from having a self-contained bedroom, bathroom and sitting room so is perfect for two couples or grandparents to come or go as they please.
