We recently spent two weeks at this lovely property in Ébéon, Charente, & it was everything we had hoped for. Communication with the host, Chris, was good in the lead-up to our stay, with helpful information provided that made everything run smoothly. The property was easy to find.As Chris wasn’t going to be on-site during our stay, the keys were left in a secure key safe, & we had no trouble letting ourselves in. The house was perfect for our needs (three adults) – spacious, well-equipped, and extremely peaceful.The pool area is a real highlight: private and sheltered, with plenty of space to relax either in the sun or shade. We all agreed this was the most relaxed and chilled holiday we've had. Ébéon is a quiet little hamlet surrounded by countryside, perfect for truly getting away from the hustle & bustle of it all. We enjoyed a circular walk through the local lanes & fields – such a tranquil setting.A car is essential, with excellent local shops like Leclerc, Lidl, & a boulangerie just a 10-min drive away. We had some great day trips to La Rochelle, Neuvicq-le-Château, Angoulême, Château de la Roche Courbon, Château Dampierre, & Saint-Jean-d'Angély.No light pollution meant the clear star lit skies were incredible – we even spotted several shooting stars.Having encountered a few minor issues with the property, we addressed these directly with Chris and he actioned them immediately. Overall, we had a wonderful time & would be very happy to stay here again.

The gite was in a lovely, peaceful, idyllic place and perfect for relaxing. We couldn’t stop looking at the view from the gite into the garden! The gite was very comfortable and relaxing with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The pool was a great addition as well. Although quite remote, you can easily get into larger towns in 15 mins for restaurants and supermarkets etc and it’s close to many tourist destinations.

Lovely gite with all you could wish for, for a peaceful, chill out escape. Excellent facilities and living space and a great pool for those holiday laps & lilo drifting. Nicely equipped kitchen too. Hosts, Chris & Sophie, were able to help with any questions via text super efficiently :) Would definitely recommend. Oh! And if you like dark skies and looking up at the stars, this place is unbelievable! Living in London you forget how artificially bright our part of the world is! J&J x

Excellent couple of weeks. Loved the Gite and pool. Plenty of things to do for the children inc beach, tree climbing, golf and water park.
