Holiday rentals in Saint-Aulaye-Puymangou

We had a wonderful stay with our family at Château de Puymangou - a beautiful setting with fantastic gardens, and the chateau itself is full of history and character. Thierry and Bénédicte were great hosts, and we enjoyed trips to local towns and villages following their recommendations. Thank you for a lovely stay, we hope to be back!

We had a fantastic stay at Mary’s cottage! Mary is a wonderful host—warm, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable. She gave us great recommendations for things to do in the area and shared thoughtful advice about our possible future move to France, which we really appreciated. The cottage is charming, clean, and very comfortable, with a beautiful and completely private garden that we had all to ourselves. Mary took the time to show us around on arrival and made sure we knew how everything worked. The wood-burning fire in the living room was already set up and ready to light, with a plentiful supply of dry wood and kindling provided. There was a terrific sense of having the home entirely to ourselves, while at the same time knowing that Mary was just around the corner should we need anything. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful week in St Quentin de Chalais. Pat and Yvonne gave us a very warm welcome to their beautiful farmhouse, along with a generous French welcome pack. The pool was fantastic, and the house and stunning location exceeded our expectations. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed, including a charcoal bbq which we enjoyed using, and our privacy was entirely respected, while we also felt our hosts were at hand to help should we have needed anything. Within 20 minutes of the rural location of the farmhouse are quite a few beautiful villages, with plenty of bakeries for your croissant and coffee every morning..Aubeterre, Chalais, Bonnes, St. Aulaye, La Roche Chalais, Ribérac. We have returned home refreshed with wonderful memories of a special week. Thank you.

Merci à Georges et Carole pour leur accueil sympathique et leur bienveillance tout au long du séjour. Nous avons passé trois nuits dans leur magnifique gîte très bien équipé et entouré d’une nature paisible, ce qui nous a permis de recharger les batteries ! Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.

Très agréable et reposant. Un peu isolé mais c’est ce que nous recherchions. La maison est accueillante et très chaleureuse, les lits sont confortables et le linge de qualité, on y dort très bien, les chambres sont très vastes et bien meublées, très agréable terrasse et piscine au milieu d’un immense jardin sans vis à vis au milieu de la campagne. À proximité, nous recommandons une visite à Aubeterre et une ballade en canoë sur la Dronne qui est une rivière paisible et très nature aux eaux limpides, il y a une base de canoë très proche de la maison. Aller à Brantome ou à la grotte de Villars prend du temps par les petites routes tortueuses du Périgord vert mais le voyage vaut le coup. Un regret de ne pas avoir vu les fresques de l’église de St Meard sur Dronne mais ce sera pour la prochaine fois. Idéal pour un séjour en famille, beaucoup d’espace pour chacun. Et les fléchettes et le terrain de pétanque nous ont offert de très bon moments.

This is a charming cottage decorated with taste. the range equipment supplied in the kitchen was possibly the best I've had in a holiday rental. Having wood for the fire was a very nice touch. Anne was super welcoming and informative and she knows the area very well. All together a great little place.

Our stay was great! Derk and his wife were very attentive and warm hosts, who welcome us and explained all about the region. The house corresponds to the pictures: it is beautiful, comfortable and cozy, has all the needed appliances for a pleasant stay in the countryside. Bathroom and shower are really good quality, living room extremely comfortable with a nice woodfire and the TV is actually larger than you can tell from the pictures. The garden is the highlight of the house, with a stunning view and a relaxing outside area for meals. The villages in the region are nice, with little shops, restaurants and sight seeing. Great recommendation for relaxing vacations! We would definitely like to stay in the Gite again in the future :) (and we love Ramsi, the golden retriever). Thank you Derk and family, we had a great time!

Nancy est très acceuillante. Le logement est très mignon. Le lieu est calme et reposant.
