The House Is Situated In The Countryside Amongst Sunflower Fields and Vineyards

Les Hirondelles is set in a private stone walled courtyard with 2 terraces, one in the shade and one in the sun, and is not overlooked; it has a large garden measuring 2200m2 which is securely fenced all around the perimeter with views on the countryside. Les Hirondelles has been completely refurbished in 2011/12 offering the comforts of a new house in an old property all on the ground floor.
There are 2 bedrooms, 1 double and 1 twin.
We also have a high chair available.

Les Hirondelles is 22 km from Royan and the roman town of Saintes, and is a 15 minute drive away from the nearest beaches at Meschers and 5 minutes away from the nearest restaurant and shops.

There is full electric central heating and double glazing to allow for rentals in the winter as well as the summer.

Lovely stay
Very well equipped house in a beautiful part of France. Easy access from the ferry and lots of lovely places to go. Our dog particularly enjoyed the large garden and the easy access to safe walks. ‘La Table’ in nearby Meursac was a great find with lovely food. Sophie was a very helpful host. We hope to return again.

Delightful gite!
We really enjoyed our stay at Les Hirondelles. There is plenty of space, it is well-equipped and very nicely presented. There is loads of outdoor space, including parking, and it is very private too. Our host Sophie was very informative and responsive; thank you! Seemingly never-ending deserted country roads made for some lovely bike rides. Highly recommended.

Comfortable and Relaxing
We had a wonderful stay at Les Hirondelles. The gite is spacious, well equipped and furnished to a high standard. The private garden is enclosed, peaceful and was ideal to relax in. The location is ideal for sightseeing in the area within easy driving distance to Saintes in the East and Royan in the West. Sophie was easy to communicate with and couldn’t have been more helpful during our stay. We would highly recommend this beautiful gite!

Home from home 'two'
This is our second visit to Les Hirondelles and everything in my previous review obtains. If you wish to experience non-metropolitan France this area is ideal. On the other hand if you want to know what is happening in the UK, the provision of satelite TV and Wi-fi will keep you in touch. Sophie has provided just about everything which could be desired in a holiday home and we love it.

Lovely site, well equipped
Pictures of interior need to be updated. Most people decide on site based on photos on website. The interior furnishing had changed from the current pictures shown. Owner should make it clear that towels and bedding are not changed if you are staying for 2 weeks. It would have been no problem to take own towels if known. There was a washer/drier at the site but honestly, whilst on holiday, we did not want to wash and dry towels and bed linen midway through our holiday. The site was well stocked with good quality kitchenware items. The welcome pack was also great to find. Overall, a very comfortable and well maintained site, well worth a visit.

An ideal holiday 'home from home'
Set in an area which provides peace and quiet far from the crowded tourist centres, Les Hirondelles affords all the comforts of home. Every facility was first class and the standards of housekeeping extremely high. The welcoming basket was much appreciated. If you crave for sandy beaches they are a reasonable drive away, while the historical towns of Saintes and Pons were a short drive. Nearby towns furnished the usual shopping opportunities although it was noticeable that the supermarkets were having the usual effect on the small shops. Royan was a reasonable drive away and the market there is worth a visit for the local produce. We had a week of superb weather which made it an even more memorable stay.

Schönes Haus, sehr ruhig gelegen
Das Haus war wie beschrieben und sehr schön. Es fehlte an nichts. Lediglich die Sauberkeit ließ bei genauerem Hinsehen ein wenig zu wünschen übrig und bei Regen wurde die Luftfeuchtigkeit im Schlafzimmer sehr hoch. Alles in allem dennoch ein tolles Haus. Check-in war sehr unkompliziert.

Semaine de vacances dans un environnement calme et reposant. Place à la détente ! La maison est très bien équipée et joliment décorée. La grande terrasse et l’immense terrain permet de profiter pleinement de l’extérieur avec notre chien. La plage est à 20-25 min, facile d’accès, ainsi que de nombreuses balades. La propriétaire est facilement joignable au besoin. Je recommande vivement cette location.

Schönes Haus mit einem Aber
Wir haben die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit des Hauses und des kleinen Ortes sehr genossen. Der komplett eingezäunte Garten ist riesig und bietet sowohl sonnige als auch auch schattige Plätze zum Verweilen - das ist natürlich auch für die Hundefreunde toll. Auf der Terrasse findet man verschiedene Sitz- und Liegemöbel, die Terrasse lässt sich abends toll beleuchten, sodass man hier viele schöne Stunden verbringen kann. vielen Dank dafür! Das Haus war soweit sauber, gut ausgestattet und wie man auf den Bildern sehen kann, geschmackvoll eingerichtet - da hat die Vermieterin viel Zeit und Energie investiert. Die Couch fanden wir zu zweit allerdings etwas zu klein, die Betten etwas zu weich, das ist aber vielleicht auch Geschmackssache. Der Check-in und Check-our sind völlig unproblematisch und sehr flexibel. Der Ort bietet sich als toller Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundung der Gironde-Mündung und auch die Ile dˋOleron liegt nicht weit weg entfernt. Obwohl wir also die Sonnenblumenfelder nur vereinzelt gesehen haben, ist die Lage des Hauses toll. Was uns jedoch gestört hat, war ein ziemlich starker muffiger Geruch im Haus, der nach viel Lüften zwar deutlich weniger wurde, aber sich bereits in den Stoffen und u.a. Küchenschränken festgesetzt hat. Das Haus hat möglicherweise ein Feuchtigkeitsproblem, denn wir haben an zwei Stellen (Decke und Wand) Schimmel entdeckt. Das ist ärgerlich, hier scheint uns eine Intervention dringend notwendig.

Great stay at this wonderful house. It is a very quiet area, all you can hear is silence and an occasional bird. The garden is very big and nice for young children as it protected by a fence. Would recommend this house.

Nous avons eu plaisir à séjourner dans une maison très belle, décorée avec beaucoup de goût (ça donne des idées) et d’une propreté sans faille y compris le linge. La literie de qualité permet de se reposer parfaitement et le terrain immense et entretenu, aussi bien fleuri, permet de se détendre au calme. La proximité des commerces est appréciable.Un séjour à refaire absolument.

Tolle Zeit verlebt
Das Ferienhaus ist ebenerdig, entspricht den Darstellungen im Portal und ist ausreichend groß für Mensch und Hund 🐶 Kontakt zum Vermieter war einfach und problemlos (Danke Sophie !). Ankommen, Schlüssel aus dem Safe holen und entspannt Urlaub starten. Auch das Auto findet perfekt und sicher Platz auf dem großen Grundstück Die Lage ist aus unserer Sicht perfekt .. Strände, Städte (Bordeaux, la Rochelle, Saintes usw.) sind gut zu erreichen. So gelingt eine schöne Balance von Stadtbummeln, Baden und Relaxen) Das Haus selbst ist liebevoll eingerichtet und bietet alles, was man braucht ! Toller großer Garten, den besonders unsere Hunde geliebt haben Fazit: Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub - Haus ist empfehlenswert!
