Full of character
We really enjoyed our stay in this characterful place. Plenty of space for everyone and all the necessary equipment you'll need (except for wifi, which didn't bother me!).

About the host

Hosted by DAVID WORTHY

Host profile image
As a lover of France and a French speaker, in 1995 I purchased. ‘La Ruche’ which was formerly a wine ‘chai’ in the Charente Maritime near the coast in western France to offer for holiday letting. This was subsequently extended adding an upstairs modern bathroom and extra bedroom.

Why they chose this property

The property is situated in a small hamlet with in countryside but not far from the coast. We have visited this area for many years and have made many friends.
Charente Maritime is famed for the clarity of light which has attracted many artists and the hours of sunlight which match those of the south of France. There are many attractive historic sights to visit in the area.

What makes this property unique

Quiet countryside location yet near road leading to sea at Royan, Ile d'Oleron and other seaside resorts on the coast. Also within easy distance from Saintes, La Rochelle, Bordeaux, Cognac with much history to explore as well as beach trips. The house is full of character and perfect for a family holiday with an enclosed garden.
