Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Gond-Pontouvre

This is a beautiful place to stay on the banks of the Charente which we enjoyed from the canoe but just loved seeing it flowing along edging the grounds. We came on the train which is a very easy journey from Paris to Jarnac. It is then less than an hours walk along the cycle path or quicker along the very quiet road. The market in Jarnac is excellent and there’s some nice cafes and bars. In Bourg Charente itself the bar tabac sells morning baguette and croissants, especially good to put an order in the day before. Also in the village La Ribaudiere restaurant was absolutely amazing and an experience not to be missed. So this is a great place to stay if you are car free like us but bicycles really help too especially with direct access to the 400 km path La Flow Velo. Lots of fun! Thanks to Andrea and Dominic.

Gite as expected and described! Our host welcomed us with kindness and some local products, great attention!!We will definitely come back... Thank you for everything

We appreciate your hospitality to our employees and we recommend you. Best regards, DEAL ECO

lovely place possibly return in the future

The accommodation is very clean, very functional and comfortable with a real lounge area where we were able to meet up with 8 people and, which was very nice and above all very convenient, 4 identically furnished bedrooms each equipped with a bathroom and toilet. A real plus! One downside: the kitchen area, although functional and very well-equipped, is a little too small. Plus, the owners are lovely and welcoming! In short, a property to remember...

Very quiet and pleasant accommodation. Plenty of space and well appointed. I had a long stay and enjoyed this place all the way. Florence is very kind and attentive. I would highly recommend it.

1 night spent in this studio, completely self-contained (kitchen, bathroom, washing machine) and on 2 levels. Flexible check-in with lockbox, perfect for one or more days near Angouleme.

Thank you very much. well done

Fantastic place, both the home and the surrounding chateau.

Very pleasant stay at Stéphanie's. The accommodation is spacious, well equipped and very well located for visiting the city.

As soon as we walk through the door , we enter a refined, atypical world. Very nice apartment , tastefully decorated in the center of the village , all the services are nearby . restaurants " la Tuscan" on the doorstep , and a little further "with whims" warm welcome and tasty dishes. Thank you Alexandre. See you soon.

Lovely stay with a spacious apartment. Nice and quiet even when you are less than 1km from busy areas. The host was very helpful and friendly and gave us information about different areas around France as we were travelling around for a week. Nice comfortable, clean bed.

nice house to spend time with family while each having a private space. many activities to do in the garden given the size of the grounds and amenities present. we loved our stay. thank you

Very good stay in this beautiful and AUTHENTIC family home with undeniable charm. We were 4 adults and 2 children 3/4 years old: the children loved playing in the sandpit/bocce court in the garden and the educational farm nearby, we adults we loved the large friendly kitchen and the masterful bathroom with views of the countryside. Small bonus for dishes: what a pleasure to eat on cute vintage plates! The house is very old, so it was a little wet when we arrived (no surprise given the season) but once the fireplace started and the house ventilated, everything was normal. Assessment: a peaceful and refreshing country stay, thank you very much Katy 💚

The moment we walked into La Grenouillere, we knew we had made the perfect choice for our holiday in France. We were a party of 12 (three families) and felt we had so much space to spread out and relax, which we did so instantly. The positioning is wonderful, away from busy life, just nature and silence all around. Everything was lovely -beautiful building, large indoor living areas, wonderful outside spaces too with a fantastic pool, big enough for us all. The kitchen was well equiped for our cooking evenings, the barbeque was brilliant for outside cooking and a popular choice for all. Morning coffee on the back terrace overlooking the grounds was a great way to start the day as was sipping wine and beer sitting out the front watching the sun down and then star gazing . Playing boules on the ready made boules pitch was a highlight, so was playing cards round the kitchen table, big enough for us all. The surrounding area was beautiful and well used by us all, cycling or running on the many gravel paths criss crossing the countryside. There is plenty to do in and around the area-towns / cities to visit. We went to Angouleme and Poitiers and enjoyed eating outout and seeing the sites. We also enjoyed the canoeing at Mansle (wonderful to see the countryside from the meandering river on our 3 hour paddle), the inflatable water park near Angouleme was a big hit with our kids (big kids), as was the tree tops high ropes with us all. All in all we had an amazing experience and brilliant time. We were all very sad to leave.

The setting is beautiful, surrounded by vineyards and sunflowers. The local town is 10 mins away, with a market. The property is a lovely old farmhouse, with lots of space and nice furniture, comfortable beds and a refreshing pool. Valerie made us feel very welcomed. A great place to unwind.

Really welcoming host nothing to say everything was perfect accommodation perfectly matches the photo and really clean I really recommend you to spend weekends or holidays at his place really great you will not regret it I guarantee you 🙂🙂🙂

We had a great stay at Valerie’s house. Due to ferry delays we didn’t arrive at the house until 10.30pm. Valerie had left the house with lights on and the key in a safe place so we could check ourself in. The house itself is stylish. Interesting pictures on the walls, lovely furniture and amazing choices of colour schemes. It felt like a really good Airbnb experience where you got to experience someone else’s home. Kitchen was really well stocked, beds were comfortable and linen and towels were all fine. The pool was amazing. It was 38-40 degrees whilst we were there and the pool was a saviour. We have 3 x young children 3,5,7 so are always a bit nervous about pools but, for us, this pool was far enough away from the house and it had an alarm. There is no fence though, so something to think about with kids. The layout of the house is 2 x double bedrooms in one section. Then downstairs there is another bedroom that has the mezzanine. It was a great stay, would highly recommend.

very pleasant and functional accommodation.

Beautiful location, wonderful accommodations
