Outstanding!
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house in a wonderful location. Our hosts Eliane and Richard were super friendly and helpful whilst remaining discreet and totally respecting our privacy. The house is lovely, very clean and well equipped, everything you need to self cater, comfortable beds and a log burner (which we didn’t need) for chilly evenings. The location is just amazing, very close to Ruffec for shopping but so calm and peaceful. It really is on a little island so there is always the sound of water, we did swim in the weir - very cold in June but so refreshing! A perfect place to relax and enjoy nature, we will be back!

Séjour de 15 jours
Séjour parfait, pleins d’activités aux alentours, et pour ceux qui veulent juste se reposer, comme nous, un lac à 15 minutes en voiture ( à Villefagnan) où l’eau est bonne, et où les enfants s’amusent à plonger de la plateforme. Préparez le répulsif à moustique, l’eau autour de l’île les attire en masse, mais cela n’a pas altéré notre séjour.

Vacances familiales dans la nature et la fraîcheur
Vacances idéales pour notre famille (2 adultes et 4 enfants entre 17 et 4ans), dans un îlot de fraîcheur et de nature, bercées par le son de la cascade devant la maison. Le jardin est grand et arboré, il s’étend sur toute l’île. Les hôtes sont d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle et d’une grande discrétion (il habitent à l’autre bout de la maison). Ils partagent leurs passions pour ceux qui le désirent. Nos enfants en garderont un souvenir mémorable. La région est belle, pourvue de nombreux villages à visiter et propose des activités estivales artistiques ou sportives familiales. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir à une prochaine occasion.

Un véritable paradis!
Un séjour très apprécié par toute la famille dans ce magnifique jardin d'Eden: un paradis pour les enfants, les pêcheurs, les poètes...Un havre de calme et de tranquilité dans un cadre bucolique. Et des hôtes accueillants et chaleureux qui ont été à nos petits soins!
