A wonderful house in substantial grounds. There isn’t a bad room: all are spacious and beautifully kept. The communal spaces are also great. The pool is stunning: without question the best pool we have ever had at a private holiday property. So deep you can properly dive in. The area has some decent towns and the beach is a brief drive. The owner was wonderful at communicating and everything went very smoothly. Thanks again!

Great for a large family reunion
We had a great family stay here, big and spacious with plenty of room for my family from Ireland. The pool was amazing; we asked for the alarm to be turned off and the people looking after the property were very quick to sort it. Owner is very responsive as well with any queries we had. the grounds are lovely with a big garden out the back. Local town is a 10 min cycle away where we got daily bread and croissants. Asd there were 15+ of us, we needed extra outside tables / chairs again, which they were happy to sort out quickly - not a problem.
Superbe domaine , grand espace pour les enfants au calme .
Réunion de famille réussie.
Nous avions contacté un traiteur de St Jean d'Angély qui nous a livré au domaine matin et soir des plats tout chauds de haute qualité et de prix raisonable .Boucherie Traiteur Jarry tel:05 46 32 02 50
We had a lovely stay at the château in August 2022. The house is classically French and spacious. The star of the show is the outside space. There's outdoor speakers, a lovely long sloping garden with trees for shade, a huge pool and lounger area and you're surrounded by sunflower fields. The owners were easy to get hold of when we had questions. All in all a brilliant holiday, we'd definitely go back.
Great stay with big rooms, fantastic and well equipped kitchen, great pool and a big garden. Overall 5/5 stars.
Some suggestions for improvements; the Wi-Fi can be better and there are some broken tiles in the pool resulting in small cuts on active children’s feet.

Une magnifique demeure de famille
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette demeure de charme. Néanmoins, la propreté n'était pas au rendez-vous : nous avons été obligés de laver toute la vaisselle avant de l'utiliser, d'une façon plus générale de faire le ménage. Autre point les prises avec fils dénudés, ce qui pose un problème de sécurité surtout avec des enfants. Pas de cafetière électrique..Pas de livret d'accueil en français. Pour résumer, la bâtisse et ses extérieurs sont magnifiques mais les prestations ne sont pas à la hauteur. Quel dommage...
Un havre de paix, parfait pour nos vacances en famille. Grands et petits ont apprécié l’agencement des lieux le grand jardin et sa piscine orientée vers le soleil couchant, la belle maison de pierre ses grandes pièces lumineuses.
A découvrir !
La maison est grande, les pièces spacieuses, et très propres. La salle de bain attenante à chaque chambre est un vrai plus. La cuisine est pratique et bien équipée. Seul bémol il n'y avait personne à notre arrivée pour nous expliquer le fonctionnement de la maison, même si le propriétaire communiquait parfaitement avec nous via téléphone. En tous les cas la maison présente tout le confort et les équipements voulus, et nous avons passé un séjour très agréable.
Une belle propriété, conforme à l'annonce. La maison est vaste et idéale pour les regroupements en famille ou entre amis. La cuisine est adaptée pour de grandes tablées : exactement ce que je recherchais. Cheminée du salon fonctionnelle, sans fumée.
Le système SONOS est bluffant.
Les prestations au niveau de nos attentes.

"A beautiful family home from home"
What a lovely peaceful setting, surrounded by fields of sunflowers. The chateau was spacious, comfortable, clean and very homely. There were 18 of us staying, including 7 young children. We all had an amazing time. The pool was a big hit with the children, along with the trampoline. The adults enjoyed the pool and leisurely evening meals on the terrace. Fabrice was on hand and was extremely helpful and very efficient too. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely and wouldn't hesitate to return sometime. Thank you Jamieson and Karele, for letting us stay in your lovey home.

Perfect for a large group holiday
The house was a very welcome sight after the long journey and 50-minute drive from La Rochelle airport. You turn in to the big white gates and there it is, quite grand looking but not ostentatious. Inside everything is so spacious - the hall, the kitchen, the lounge, all the bedrooms have plenty of space. It worked out so well for our party of 15 (8 adults, 4 teens, 3 kids). Some of the bathrooms look very new and luxurious, whilst other bathrooms have older suites but still perfectly nice and functional. We spent lots of time outside. The pool is great but slightly too deep for the youngest members of our party. The location is peaceful and rural. It's about 50 minutes into La Rochelle centre and about 1 hour from Ile de Re. I recommend St Savinien (15 minutes away) for little ones. Overall a great house and location. The owner was exceedingly helpful, starting from our initial enquiry, up to the approach to our stay and also during our stay when there was an astoundingly fast response to a request to fix a slight plumbing problem! Highly recommended.

A beautiful house.
The house is a spacious size. which was perfect as we went with a party of 14 (5 children, 9 adults) and we all agreed that we had plenty of room for living in and with each other. The surrounding is so idyllic it's breathtakingly beautiful. The pool is a good size. And has nice clean slabs around it with sun loungers. A trampoline (which the children went on most days) It had a bbq area just outside the back door and a large table and chairs perfect for a large family. Bbq worked well and again was a large size.The area surrounding the house is great for bike riding and walking as there is a vast amount of land. With scenic views (have your camera ready) The local town is beautiful with amazing restaurants, bars, shops etc. And a 45 minute drive to la rochelle beach/town. Me and my family would highly recommend this house. And would definitely revisit. We did have a power cut but after making a short call (which the owner had left contact numbers and restaurants recommendations etc in a folder, as a welcome pack) was quickly dealt with and we experienced no further problems.
