Everything about the accommodation is
first class and Vanessa and Tim are the best hosts. My family stayed
in the gites for a week and were impressed by the attention to detail,
the standard of the accommodation and the location. Whether you want
to spend a day around the pool or springboard into the country side,
vineyards, beaches or historic towns, this place is ideal. The house
and the village are very pretty and only a few minutes drive from
Pons and it's shops and restaurants. We don't normally return to the
same spot, but we definitely will be going back to these gites.Paul:

We (2 adults and 2 teenagers) have just returned from the most relaxing
fortnight at the gîtes du vigneron. The gîtes are beautifully
renovated, spotlessly clean and very comfortably furnished. Great
consideration has been given to what people want during a holiday
and the gîte was fully equipped with everything we could need.
The showers were powerful, the beds were comfortable and there was
plenty of space for us all. The grounds are immaculate, yet you can
still play football. The play barn is full of games and toys for all
ages, including table tennis, darts and table football. The pool area
is stunning, with a large, shaded area as well as plenty loungers
around the pool. The pool was clean, warm and available from early
in the morning til late at night every day. The property is around
15 mins drive from two large supermarkets in Pons. Saintes, Cognac
and the coast are all within easy driving distance. The local boulangerie
is a couple of minutes drive away. Tim and Vanessa are the perfect
hosts. They are always available, yet never intrusive. We all thoroughly
enjoyed our time at the gîtes du vigneron and were very sad
to leave. We cannot rate it highly enough - an outstanding property.
Thank you Tim and Vanessa for a wonderful holiday. Sam:July

We stayed in Pervenche with our daughter who had just finished her
GCSEs and it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Tim and Vanessa
are wonderful hosts, making us feel so welcome and at home. The gite
is beautifully finished and excellently equipped, with everything
you could possibly need. The location is so peaceful and quiet, but
giving easy access to local towns and there is plenty to see and do.
The pool area is a perfect spot to relax, and we spent several days
there just soaking up the sun. We have never taken a holiday in the
same place twice, but we will definitely be returning to Les Gites
du Vigneron! Peter: July 2017
Our week in Vanessa and Tim's house was very nice in a very pretty
and well-equipped home ideally situated in a quiet village near to
all amenities.The swimmingpool is really pleasant and our children
loved the trampoline and games put at their disposal. We enjoy our
stay a lot. Vanessa and Tim are very nice and attentive towards their
guests. Thank you and we hope to come back soon. Séverine

We had a fantastic 2 weeks here, welcomed warmly by Tim & Vanessa
who were on hand throughout our stay to help with bookings and for
advice. The gite was beautiful, everything has been thought of! They
were clean and excellently maintained. We had our own parking with
locked gates and an outside area with garden furniture and a charcoal
BBQ which was private. The pool was warm and kept really clean with
plenty of sunbeds. The grounds are lovely with well kept play areas
and equipment - the children had a fantastic time! We were there with
other members of our extended family in 2 of the other gites and fun
was had by all! We enjoyed exploring the local area including cycling
though some of the vineyards and past sunflower fields. We enjoyed
visiting the local town of Pons as well as visiting the coast for
the beaches. It is a beautiful part of France and we hope to return
again and wouldn't hesitate staying here again. We cannot find criticism
with the gite at all and would highly recommend staying here. Claire:

We stayed in Paquerette with our two grown up sons (20 & 22 yrs)
and found the accommodation, facilities (excellent swimming pool),
location and situation made for a very relaxing and enjoyable gite
holiday in this beautiful and interesting area of Charente Maritime.
Tim and Vanessa are excellent hosts ensuring a warm welcome and assisting
in making sure our holiday stay was perfect, down to the smallest
detail. The gites are recently and completely newly converted to a
very high standard and specification through out, spotlessly clean
and very tastefully and comfortably furnished. The location is an
ideal base to explore the Charente Maritime region (and beyond) and
visit the many attractions and coast with a good choice of local facilities
and supermarkets in Pons, Saintes and Cognac. In summary, we all had
a lovely and relaxing holiday at Les Gites du Vigneron and all thanks
to Tim and Vanessa. Tony: September 2017
We cannot fault these Gites. We were there with our 2 daughters and
husbands and our 5 grandchildren age range 3 - 10. We had the 3 largest
Gites. They are perfect for families or any age. Beautifully finished
with great attention to detail, they were everything we expected from
the description and more, with modern facilities, bedding etc. Very
clean and there was nothing else we would have wanted. There was everything
we needed and Vanessa and Tim are so friendly and helpful. They can
provide everything for babies and small children too. They had lots
of ideas for days out and even booked restaurants for us. The grounds
are particularly excellent too, fabulous heated pool complete with
sun loungers, inflatables etc. The gardens are wonderful for children
to play in with trampoline, swing, slide, football goal net and different
areas where they can play together safely while the adults can enjoy
a glass of wine. Also a great plus are the playbarn with lots of toys
and equipment for the under 5s and also another playbarn with table
tennis, table football, dressing up and lots more. Whilst we were
there we visited St George de Didon beach several days which is a
fantastic beach, went canoeing, cycling and also visited Pons, Saintes,
Chateau des Enigmes, Paleon Centre, all well worth visiting. We all
had a wonderful 2 weeks there and were sorry when our stay came to
an end. We would not hesitate to recommend these Gites. We hope to
return sometime. Nothing we can criticise at all. John:
