Summary: We had a lovely stay, the house is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Pretty garden just over the road - beware of midges in the evening! St Savinien is a great base to explore the area with so many beautiful places to visit.

Summary: The hosts are very nice and the house itself is gracious. Tall ceilings and well proportioned rooms, with beautiful details like the tiles and ceiling medallions. The kitchen is well laid out and well stocked. Showers and bath have plenty of water pressure and very hot water. The village setting is great, especially with the river. Good walks right on your door and convenient to many places to explore.

Summary: We spent a week at this fabulous property and enjoyed every minute. It was a relaxing and tranquil setting. The garden leading to the river was amazing ,was just able to fish from the bank (caught a 22lb carp on sweet corn ) but be warned the mosquitos are ferocious, so a quality misquote spray is required But overall a fabulous experience and will be returning.

Summary: A very beautiful, sympathetically updated house of character. this type of property has grandeur and all the little foibles and quirks of an old house. Creaky floors and original window fittings, some which open, some which might not. A three story house with an old winding wooden staircase, and wooden floors throughout, we did get a few splinters ! Modern bathrooms a plenty, and a good well equipped modern kitchen. Loads of bedroom and bathroom space, and lots of added things such as board games, fans, hairdryer etc. The lounge was lovely and looked out onto the river with a relaxed bright feel to it. Huge dining table great for a big family and sharing food. We must not forget the canoes, life jackets and large floats which were in the garage for our use. The girls had the best time playing in those. We loved our stay in this beautiful part of France and spent a lot of time either on, or in the river with the children. The owners were helpful and there when needed. Only one small thing would be to maybe invest in updating the garden area, and if there was a small deck with a way of accessing the river more easily from the garden it would have been perfect for us. Regardless, we loved our stay and will be back.

Summary: Lovely old French townhouse in pretty Saint Savinien. We had a relaxing time - swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding on the river. The house was perfect for us - the downstairs bedroom was cooler in the heat but the upstairs main bedroom is so pretty and the bath overlooking the river wonderful. We loved the riverside garden but wouldn’t have found it easy with younger children. Would also have benefited from some easier access to the river - a little jetty maybe. Small town perfect for our needs - boulangerie near the town bridge fantastic/ Bar barrage good for low key food. Île d’oleron has lovely beaches on west coast. All in all a great base for holiday. Thank you

Summary: We were very happy with the house which was beautiful, well furnished and comfortable. The garden on the river Charente was well shaded by a very large weeping willow and it was a lovely cool and relaxing place to be on our 2 record hot days (40 degrees.) We could use the owners' canoes and the children, aged 12 and 14 loved it. The garden was at the front of the house and across a small quiet one- way street. We dealt mostly with Debbie in the admin of renting the property. She was very efficient and also helped us to postpone our holiday twice (Covid) at no extra cost so we finally had our 2020 holiday in 2022! When the gas canister for the kitchen stove ran out of gas we phoned Debbie and Debbie's husband Alan came out immediately to fit a new canister. Amazingly fast service! So to sum up we were very pleased with our stay in St Savinien.

Summary: My family and I stayed in this lovely home for 3 weeks. Having morning coffee on the balcony over looking the river and gardens is what I miss most about my mornings... Dinners under the Willow tree, movies next door, lovely Chateaus and Sculpture park just a few km away. We so enjoyed our time in Saint Savinien. I would absolutely stay again.

Summary: Superb house in great location, with lovely front garden and very good hosts as and when needed. Being picky, outside furniture could do with a bit of updating and size of cooking pots for number of guests were a bit small. Also unaware of shared balcony and garden. However we had a wonderful holiday and would certainly recommend and definitely stay here again.
