Maison Rossignol: Private House and Heated Pool in Idyllic Rural Location

Maison Rossignol is set in the small hamlet of Flerac in the commune of Saint Georges Des Agouts. It is ideally situated just 5-10 minutes from junction 37 of the A10 autoroute at Mirambeau, yet in a blissfully quiet area surrounded by vineyards.

It offers open and spacious accommodation for up to 6 people. The accommodation is all on one floor, together with half an acre of open space offering fantastic views of the open countryside.

It has been renovated with a heated swimming pool added in 2018 and further renovations. Exclusive use of house and pool. Not shared with anyone else.

In the Peak Summer Season, changeover days are Saturday and bookings are a minimum 7 day blocks.

Situated close to Mirambeau in the Charente Maritime, the house is ideally located to explore the golden sandy beaches near Meschers and Royan, the history and heritage of Saintes and the vineyards of Bordeaux and Cognac.

Bordeaux is just 45 mins drive away, with the Dordogne and Atlantic surfing beaches within easy reach too. Whether its rest or activity, family time or peace and quiet – you’ll be spoilt for choice.

About the House

Kitchen/Dining Area:
The fitted kitchen/diner is a large, light and airy open space. Offering everything you’d expect at home including programmable oven/hob, dishwasher, washing machine and a large American fridge freezer. The dining area comfortably seats 6 and looks out onto the front garden.

Living Room:
The large beamed room is ideal to retreat from the summer heat or to warm up on cooler evenings in front of the wood burning stove. There’s plenty of entertainment choice with TV & full fibre streaming, books, films and games (consoles and traditional).

En-suite Bedroom:
The vaulted ceiling and exposed local stone create a barn-like space for the king size bed, together with plenty of storage space in the wardrobe and chest of drawers.
A door leads through to the en-suite bathroom, finished with Italian shower, mosaic and marbled tiling throughout.

Bedroom 2:
Very spacious with large french windows. Twin beds, clothes storage, bookcase and side tables.

Bedroom 3:
Very spacious with large french windows. Twin beds, clothes storage, chest of drawers and side tables.

Shower room/WC
Located across from the hallway from the other bedrooms, with a Italian walk-in shower with mosaic tiled floor, heated towel rail, WC and basin.

Outside
The garden extends to half an acre and wraps around the house, offering privacy and seclusion from the front, with a spectacular view across the hills and down to the Gironde valley.

The 10m X 5m heated pool catches the sun all day long, surrounded by pear and walnut trees so there is also shade in various parts of the garden throughout the day.

Note: The Pool is closed from End October to May each year.

The pool has roman steps at the shallow end making it easy to get in and out of. There is plenty of space around the pool, with sun loungers for the whole party,

There is also a driveway with ample parking space, a garage and courtyard area perfect for sunny boule matches.

Immediately outside the house is a graveled area with a very shallow small pond and a grassed area, adjacent to the main lawn.

Just outside the kitchen is the terrace which gets the sun all day and is perfect for al- fresco dining.

Lovely, exactly as described
The property is exactly as described and shown in the photos. A modern well equipped kitchen is elevated with a Nespresso coffee machine. The monsoon showers are great and there are more entertainment systems than you could ever want, especially if you have a variety of ages in your party. Last and by no means least, who doesn’t want a heated private pool surrounded by gardens and cornfields? 5 minutes from the motorway and at most 10 from a great supermarket in Mirambeau, Maison Rossignol is well situated yet also “in the middle of nowhere”. Communication before and during the stay was great. There was a minor issue with the pool on arrival but it sorted out quickly and easily with no input required from us. Thanks for letting us stay.

Spacious, well-equipped and a fantastic pool
Lots of room for the four of us (but it would easily have taken two more). All of the rooms were spacious and the house is very well equipped with everything you need. Plenty of outside space and the heated pool was large and kept to a good temperature. Lots of information from the host before arrival, he also checked in via email during our stay and there was a welcome pack with some essentials when we arrived. Highly recommended.

Beautiful property with amazing pool in countryside location
We stayed at this beautiful property for a week in August 2024. It is very well appointed and cared for. The property was super clean! The welcome pack, new soaps in each bathroom and in the kitchen with new sponges and brushes were lovely touches and much appreciated. The pool is salt water and a perfect size to swim short lenghts or have some fun play. The poolside loungers were very comfortable! Just a few small niggles - the master bedroom is gorgeous and spacious but the velux windows don't have any coverings so you are awoken at sunrise making it hard to sleep in! Perhaps providing quality eye masks would be a workaround. The family bathroom shower temperature was not hot enough even at max temp to take a shower. Finally, the fantastic coffee machine looks great but we could not source the pods locally and did'nt fancy a drive to Bordeaux just to purchase the pods. If we had known we could have purchased supplies in advance! Overall a great property with lots of care taken to ensure a stay is enjoyable.

A great vacation
We had a fantastic time in your vacation home. The large pool was an absolute hit, especially on warmer days. The spacious garden provided plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy nature. Beneath the beautiful large trees in the garden, we could also seek shade and unwind. Additionally, exploring some charming nearby towns was a highlight. We visited La Rochelle, including the aquarium, Terres d'Oiseaux, and Bordeaux. We even went canoeing in Chauvignac. And let's not forget: having a supermarket just a short 10-minute drive away made life much easier. Thank you for the wonderful holiday!

Lovely relaxing half term
We really enjoyed our week at this property. Our boys loved the pool and spent many hours regardless of the weather. The pool table wasn’t quite as they’d hoped as it didn’t sit flat, but they still played a game or two. We didn’t try the bikes as one had a flat tyre. It’s very rural, surrounded by farmers fields including vines. So peaceful, especially at night. The stars were amazing. Host was great, very easy to communicate with. There was a great house guide including lots of places to visit. If you are looking for a week of peace and quiet with a pool, this is the place for you.

My family and I had a fantastic stay here. The area was quiet and the garden spacious and the pool was fantastic . We barely left the property our whole time there and my kids never wanted to leave. David was extremely attentive, courteous and easy to deal with and was proactive in making sure we had what we needed, with everything very well planned out. Everything we had hoped for and we will be looking to return next summer if we can .

An amazing find and perfect
We have just returned from a wonderful two-week holiday at Maison Rossignol. The house is exactly as described, comfortable and relaxing, with everything that you would need to make a pleasant stay possible. It is located so that accessing all the local places of interest is easy. The icing on the cake is the fabulous, heated pool, very welcoming after a day out in the unexpected September heat. The hosts David and Joanna are very proactive and a small issue with the pool cover was dealt with immediately. Maison Rossignol is ideal if you want a relaxing, quiet break in the countryside, but close enough to more comprehensive facilities.

The perfect rural hideaway
What a fabulous holiday house! A characterful property in stunning countryside with a wide range of amazing places to visit, assuming you can tear yourself away from the pool. We went for a family holiday and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The house is incredibly well equipped with plenty of space for the 4 of us, including the well tended and attractive gardens. The hosts were very gracious and great at communicating. Can't recommend highly enough.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Charente Maritime and our stay in Maison Rossignol. Both the indoor and outdoor facilities are fabulous - particularly the private pool and the pool table.

Peaceful stay at Maison Rossignol
We had a wonderful, relaxing two weeks at the gite. It is very well kitted out with everything you could need, or want, including loads of games. We spent most of our time in or around the pool, as our three kids loved it. We were a little nervous about not having air-con with the heat in the mid 30s for half our stay, but following David's advice with the shutters, the house was amazingly cool! We really enjoyed Jonzac, with the night market a highlight, as well as the restaurant Comptoir Du Marche. David was very attentive and made sure we had no issues during our stay, as well as suggesting things to see and do. Wish we were still there!

Great place for a vacation
We had a great experience staying in the house. The house was well apportioned, the beds were really comfortable with good pillows and duvets, and the two toilets and bathrooms were well equipped. We really enjoyed the swimming pool, although we did struggle a bit getting the cover off the first few times. The information provided is very useful, and we tried one of the restaurants on the list. We headed to Blaye a few days, both to take the ferry over to the Medoc region, but we also had dinner a few times up in the old citadel, which we recommend. There was a nice welcome pack for us when we arrived, and the owners were very responsive. At some stage there was a problem with the lights in the second bathroom, they advised us of that and that they hoped to have it fixed before our arrival, and they then contacted us again before arrival letting us know that the issue had been fixed. We would definitely consider the place again if we were in that region.

Escape away with the family and dogs
We had the most amazing time topped off with fabulous weather. Couple of minor hitches ( tv channels not working, dishwasher not working, dvd player not working) but who cares when you have a pack of cards, a jigsaw, amazing pool, fabulous location and good company !!! The owners were very apologetic and kept in touch throughout. We stayed here with my daughter and her partner and 2 dogs who all loved every minute. The owners had given us lots of visitor information which was so helpful. We were there just in time for the pears to be dropping from the tree so had fresh pears to eat each day. We also arrived to a lovely welcome pack. This place was everything we wanted and needed thank you so much 👍👍

Split Personality
We had a great holiday at Maison Rossign for the last two weeks of August 2019. We were a party of six consisting of Grandparents Parents and two children aged sixteen and eight. The hose was well presented, clean tidy with all the sheets and towels as stated on the website , The grounds were well kept and quite extensive. However this property has a split personality with the refurbished main bedroom , en-suite and kitchen areas being excellent as was the heated pool. The older part of the house in contrast is in need of updating. We found the dining room wall damp with the skirting board warped and coming away from the wooden cladding which itself was coming away from the wall. The main bathroom was small with outdated facilities and needs modernising . My family refused to use this bathroom so we had to share the en-suite. The twin bedrooms were damp with hanging clothes becoming moist overnight . We ended up with clothes being hung up in the kitchen dining area to keep them dry. The windows in the older part of the house were wooden and in need of repair and the fixed nets on the outside of these windows had become detached in places so rendering them useless. This resulted in the windows being kept shut at night so aggravating the damp issue .There was also a strong smell of dampness in these two bedrooms. These issues did not spoil the holiday but we were disappointed by the fact that the photos on the net do not show the true character of the farm house.

A lovely, quiet holiday rental with an excellent pool
Maison Rossignol is located in a quiet region of Charente Maritime. It is approximately 40 mins from Saintes and Royan, around an hour from Bordeaux. We spent a fortnight here in August and had a lovely holiday. The property is spacious and well equipped and ideal for using as a base for sightseeing, or just relaxing. The pool and games room were fabulous and well used by our two sons. We have rented numerous properties in France over the years, and this was easily the nicest.

A lovely country retreat with great views and great pool.
If you want to get away from it all this is the place for you. Total peace in a lovely area up a no through Rue surrounded by farm land and far reaching views. The accommodation is generous with a large refurbished master bedroom with a large ensuite. The very large kitchen diner is also recently refitted with modern units and island. All very comfortable and stylish . The well kept gardens are delightful and the large heated pool is fantastic, the best we had in France. There are ample loungers, sun shades, out door tables and chairs , etc and the games room would have been a bonus had the weather not been so great. We didn't get time to use the bikes. There are some lovely villages in easy striking distance.... and lots of vineyards for pineau / cognac tasting ! All in all we loved our stay and would recommend it to any one. It is ideal for a large family. Many thanks
