Stunning comfortable family home
We were given a warm friendly welcome from owner Nicolas who showed us around his lovely homely farmhouse. The house looked stunning in the warm Charentes sunshine and is set in magnificent gardens filled with flowers and a fascinating variety of trees including cherry, apple, fig, olive, chestnut etc, etc. The top of the garden has space for games and would be great for kids. Although the house could sleep 10 we were only 3, my husband and I and our adult daughter. Our daughter had the upstairs with a lovely double room and modern fitted shower room and WC. Despite the warm weather even the upstairs was cool and comfortable. We had the downstairs bedroom, ideal for me as I have mobility issues and there is also a lovely shower room with large cubicle and separate WC. Although we had everything we needed downstairs I could still manage the wide stairs to the first floor. Larger parties should note that access to one of the downstairs doubles is through the other bedroom. The lounge has a comfy large leather suite and we really felt at home every evening. There is a large supermarket 10mins drive away and the historic town of Pons is on your doorstep. The Roman town of Saintes is a fantastic place to visit and is 20 mins away. Nicolas lives in Paris but his parents live close by in Berteau and we had their number for any problems. A lovely relaxing place to stay. The yellow cherries fresh from the tree were delicious.
