A very interesting property in a quiet rural region, but with good access to plenty of attractions.
The house is equipped with everything you could wish for during a holiday, including a swimming pool, and several outdoor areas in which to relax.
Julie, the housekeeper, plays an excellent role. She was friendly and very amenable, without being intrusive. Likewise, the owners were communicative and thoughtful - Antony pitches his correspondence perfectly.
Our favourite things were the wonderful shower room and comfortable beds.
We managed an enjoyable balance of relaxation and touring. We had two days at the coast, visiting L’Ile de Ré and l'Ile d’Oléron, and stayed close by for the remaining days, with visits to Cognac, Angoulême and Saintes. The markets are wonderful, frequented by locals rather than tourists, so we arranged our week based on where the markets were each day.
Many thanks for sharing Thouvenin with us, Antony & Linda.
