Customer Reviews [6]

Helen B.
We highly recommend Maison Four à Chaux, we had a great holiday in this amazing property which was clean, very comfortable and very spacious inside and out. Lovely large heated pool and an excellent games barn which included skittles alley and table tennis. We were greeted by Yvonne who was great and very knowledgeable of the local area and was easily contactable (as were the owners) if there was any issues (which there weren't). We would definitely recommend Maison Four à Chaux.

Mandy B.
Lovely spacious house, at the edge of a village. Beautiful pool area and pool house with shaded eating area. Excellent bathrooms and spacious modern shower facilities. Useful utility area. Lovely quiet setting. Good shop in next village, 4 miles away but bread machine just near property. House was lovely and clean and excellent welcome from caretaker.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We have enjoyed every second.
There is such a relaxed and calm atmosphere at Maison Four à Chaux! Perfect, We've been spoilt.
We've enjoyed dining in all the areas around the house, especially the pool house!
We would recommend a visit to Rochefort and Cognac. The park in Saint-Savinien is great for little ones. Boat rider, inflatables and picnics.
Thank you for the gifts on our arrival... Yvonne has been a perfect host... great advice and support. Thank you so much.

We arrived late afternoon and were met by Yvonne who gave us a lovely tour of this beautiful stunning house, such a lovely welcome.
I love all of the lovely antique finds in all of the rooms from the hats in the master bedroom to the old magazines to the pram in the barn.
Everything has been thought of here we really didn't need a thing.
Would really recommend a trip to La Rochelle but you would need to leave early it really does get very busy.
We have been truly spoilt staying here. Impeccably clean and tidy, we have loved every minute. We'd love to come back.

We have had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. We appreciate how clean it was when we arrived (thanks Yvonne) and the wine.
We love the decor and period furnishings. The pool and small barn were great.
It was interesting to hear about the history and previous occupants of the house from Bob and Margaret, the English neighbours across the road.
Thanks. We hope to return one day.

We enjoyed a fantastic 2 weeks in this lovely house. The pool was very popular (due to the August heatwave - most days were 30 - 33 degrees).
It was nice to be given a guided tour of the property by Yvonne and be welcomed with flowers and wine. The house has so much character - It would be lovely to learn a little more about its history and former occupants. We loved lots of the al fresco dining and one particularly memorable cheese and wine night in the candlelit wine cellar!
Île de Ré, La Rochelle, Cognac, Marais poitevin are all we worth visiting.
Make sure you take a look at the stars on a clean night - we spotted a few shooting stars!
