“Comfortable accommodation and welcoming hosts”
We stayed in La Petite Maison for 3 nights on a short break from our home in Brittany where we also have a gite,.. so I guess we had an extra perspective on the visit as owners of a holiday property ourselves. The cottage fulfilled expectations and was of a high standard of comfort in terms of furnishings, facilities and equipment, with several thoughtful touches included. The gardens and surroundings were beautifully cared for, and the location peaceful, in a small hamlet just a few kilometres from Chateauneuf sur Charente. Les and Christine have the management of their holiday homes down to a fine art, with an office and presence on site whenever you might need them. I found them to be very helpful, professional and friendly at the same time.

“Outstanding!”
We had a wonderful holiday. The accommodation was superb and the welcome was warm. Les and Christine did everything they could to ensure we enjoyed our stay without ever getting in the way. Les even rescued my barbecue when I bought lava briquettes instead of charcoal. It's a great region to explore and the accommodation is set in a beautiful little village. The apartment furnishings are frankly a cut above what one expects from rented accommodation and things like WIFI access and SkyTV in the property are superb touches. It was great to be able to access the internet so we could plan trips etc. I honestly don't think I could have spent my money any better!
