The gite was clean and the bed was super comfy. The pool was fresh and clean every day. The host Christine was there when we needed her but allowed us our privacy. 5* gite. We’ll be back!

We had a fabulous time, the gite was excellent, very clean, the bed was comfortable. the pool great too, Christine the host was excellent going above and beyond our expectations to make us welcome and gave us information about the local area. We can’t wait to go again.

We have just arrived home from the most wonderful holiday! We can only describe the gite as paradise. We were so grateful for the beautiful pool to cool off in. Christine is the perfect host in every way. Such a lovely tranquil place to relax and a beautiful area to explore. We cannot say enough good things about this property. Definitely deserves more than 10/10!

What can we say but, wow! We spent two weeks in this beautiful gite and it’s the best we’ve ever stayed in. Peaceful location just 15 mins to La Rochefoucauld with a huge Leclerc supermarket or Montbron with an Aldi and Intermarche. Plenty of local shops and markets to indulge in too.Bigger towns like Angouleme and Limoges are less than an hour away, so plenty to see and do. But if you just want to relax, the private heated pool (I didn’t measure it but must be 5m x 12m and 1.6 at the deep end with lilos and noodles) and private gardens, complete with sunbeds, are all south-west facing so sun practically all day. The gite itself is wonderful with thick walls that keep it cool. Perfectly clean ample size rooms, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge, large and very comfortable bed (with ceiling fan), fitted bathroom, patio furniture, bbq, etc, etc, the list goes on, even multiple hangers in the wardrobe!! We wanted for absolutely nothing and we genuinely felt “at home”. I leave the best to last – our host, Christine. Her excellent English outdid my French, attentive and always on hand when needed but never intrusive. During our stay she spoiled us with cake, tomatoes and herbs from her garden, flowers and what was possibly the best tiramisu we’ve ever had. My wife took advantage of the discount Christine offers to guests on massage and came back totally relaxed. Christine, and Le Gite de Lou, have set a new standard and we will be back.
