About this property

Old, Traditional, Charentaise House, Peaceful Vineyard Location

Hi and welcome to 'Woodsmoke'. This is a charming 3 bedroom old traditional 'Charentaise' house situated right in the middle of 'Pineau wine' vineyards and sunflowered fields. We are located 2km from the centre of the village of Saint Romain de Benet, near the busy market town of Saujon halfway between the coastal resort of Royan and the ancient Roman city of Saintes. We offer weekly breaks (length of stay negotiable outside high season). The house possesses two double bedrooms and one twin bedroom, two bathrooms, spacious traditional style fully-equipped kitchen, large lounge and dining-room. This is the perfect 'getaway from it all' in a 'home from home' location. Perfectly positioned to explore the stunning Atlantic white sandy beaches and islands, marshes, the wine regions of Cognac and Bordeaux among sunflower fields and Charente Maritime's numerous Romanesque and medieval villages and markets.

Erholsamer Aufenthalt
Sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Genügend Auslauf im Garten für unsere Hunde. Sehr schöne Hundestrände in 30 min mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Sehr guter Ausgangspunkt um die Gegend zu erkunden.

Belle maison pour un bon séjour
Après d'excellents échanges avec Andy, la semaine s'est fort bien passée dans cette belle région. La maison est fonctionnelle et tranquille. A recommander pour des ballades vers la côte ou dans le Saintonge.

Schöner Urlaub an der Westküste Frankreichs
Wir hatten das Vergnügen, unseren Urlaub in dem Ferienhaus zu verbringen. Das Haus war einfach schön und bot alles, was wir für einen guten Aufenthalt brauchten. Die Lage war gut. Das Ferienhaus befand sich inmitten der atemberaubenden Landschaft Frankreichs und bot einen schönen Blick auf die umliegenden Weinfelder. Es war so friedlich und ruhig, dass wir uns sofort entspannen konnten. Das Haus war stilvoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was wir brauchten. Die Küche war gut ausgestattet, so dass wir problemlos unsere eigenen Mahlzeiten zubereiten konnten. Die Schlafzimmer waren gemütlich. Es gab eine geräumige Terrasse, auf der wir unsere Mahlzeiten im Freien genießen konnten, und einen schönen Garten, in dem wir uns sonnen und entspannen konnten. Der Gastgeber war auch sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Alles in allem war unser Aufenthalt in diesem Ferienhaus sehr angenehm. Wenn Sie nach einem idyllischen Rückzugsort in Frankreich suchen, dann ist dieses Ferienhaus eine gute Wahl!

Erholsamer Urlaub an der Westküste
Wir konnten bereits zum zweiten Mal diese Unterkunft genießen. Das Haus wurde zur neuen Saison renoviert mit neuen Türen, Fenstern und einem Dach. Der Garten ist ein toller Platz um zu entspannen. Unsere Tochter hatte Spaß daran die Fische im Teich zu füttern. Das Haus ist ein guter Ausgangsort um zahlreiche Sehenswürdigkeit wie das Aquarium in La Rochelle, Zoo La Palmyre, nahe liegende Inseln und die zahlreichen Strände mit zu erkunden. Wir können diese Unterkunft weiterempfehlen. Das Dorf liegt etwas abseits, deswegen ist man hier auf jeden Fall auf ein Auto angewiesen.

Not recommended
The kitchen was so dirty that it took my wife 4 hours to clean it. The living room was dark as one door was nailed shut. The Wohle house gives a run down unkempt impression. The driveway is very difficult for a larger car. We left the house after 2 days and looked for an alternative accommodation.All in all, the holiday Home is not to be recommended.

My name is Andy I am a British national. Grew up in south west England. English language teacher living and working in Nantes since 1998. Currently the French women's national cricket coach ;) (yes there is such a thing!). 'Woodsmoke' has been in the family since 2004.

Why they chose this property

I believe this property position is 'pure paradise'. The view from the back garden is just breathtaking. Sitting out in the evenings as the sun goes down until the stars come out with a bottle of red - just doesn't come any better ;)

What makes this property unique

Lovely old Charentaise house in the middle of a vineyard.....the perfect French getaway retreat.....
