Great stay!

The Fourras gîte has everything for a great holiday:

  • Equipment,
  • Great bedding,
  • Cleanliness!,
  • Toys for children,
  • An overhead projector for watching DVDs and...
  • Lots of other things.

Nothing to complain about!

We are very close to La Rochelle and the seaside not far.

As for the owners, they are adorable, extraordinarily kind, listen to their advice for visits!

A huge thank you to them!!!!

Beautiful accommodation, very comfortable and clean, fully consistent with the photos. Very calm place. The cottage is perfectly located in the region between La Rochelle and Rochefort, without being in the crowds of the seaside.

The reception is perfect with the various possibilities of visits in the region, adapted to our desires and our constraints (1 young child).

We highly recommend.

We spent a very good week in the gite of "the growing forest".

It is well located, well equipped and despite the heat wave the room remained very cool.

Very friendly host, considerate and offers good advice for visits.

5 / 5 5 / Anne-Françoise Martin / August 2022 Airbnb®. Full traveler review

The accommodation was as advertised.

Many things to see in a fairly wide radius.

We can see that Bertrand is passionate about his region and sharing it with holidaymakers.

5 / 5 5 / Valerie Chappedelaine / July 2022 Airbnb®. Full traveler review

We had a pleasant stay. The accommodation is very ideally located to take advantage of visits to the surroundings.

The accommodation is perfectly furnished. There is really everything you need with very good quality equipment. The bedding is too good. The garden is well planted and flowered.

Everything is designed with respect for the environment. The hosts are charming and Bertrand is attentive and great at giving you ideas for walks.

You can come as a couple or as a family without any problem, you will be delighted.

5 / 5 5 / Cécile Helio / july 2022 Airbnb®. Full traveler review

Quiet stay surrounded by nature. Many things to discover around the cottage. The latter is very comfortable, furnished with taste and nothing is missing for your comfort except an outdoor space with table and deck chairs. Yet in the description of the cottage it is mentioned.

We enjoyed our short stay in the Fouras gite. Thank you for the very warm welcome, the advice on visits. The little extra: games adapted for our little boy who loved this stay!

The small downside: the large family room which could be transformed into two bedrooms (for everyone's sleep).

We recommend :-)

About the number of bedrooms Owner response

Thank you for your recommendation and your stay.

Indeed, this cottage has one bedroom as indicated in the ad. The other in two.

NB: It cannot be transformed into two bedrooms for regulatory reasons on fire evacuations.

Good. Not far from La Rochelle, Fouras and Chatelaillon

5 / 5 5 / Flavie Berleand / september 2021 site Airbnb®. Full traveler review

A perfect stay, in an establishment that respects the environment.

Thank you to Agnès and Bertrand for their kindness, their benevolence, their welcome, and all the advice we received for visiting the region. A small welcome gift as a bonus!

In short, what happiness we experienced during this weekend as a family. Even the toys and the reading have been adapted to the age of the children! A service of exceptional quality!

Hosts that exceed every expectation you can imagine!

If you are in the region, especially stop at their place!! this cottage is worth the detour!

Thank you both for everything!

5 / 5 5 / Rouba Murtada / september 2021 site Airbnb®. Full traveler review

Very professional welcome by Bertrand who has no shortage of suggestions and knows the area very well and the things to do there, including very useful little tips.

The cottage is very functionally furnished and you don't miss anything. We appreciated the quality of all the equipment including kitchen utensils and appliances, everything is top of the range. Special mention for the bluetooth audio system :)

The view of the garden is pleasant, but we were mainly there to take advantage of the surrounding outings, so we did not exploit its potential.

5 / 5 5 / Filippo Manini / huillet 2021 site Airbnb®. Full traveler review

Accommodation perfectly located in a green and inspiring setting, close to the main places to visit in the region.

We were perfectly guided by Bertrand for our visits and made some great discoveries that enchanted our trip.

The accommodation is very well equipped: it has beautiful rooms and all the necessary comforts (dishwasher, ovens, induction hob, comfortable bedding, audio system, games for children, books, etc.) with special mention for the washing machine which allows you to leave with clean laundry.

The icing on the cake: the video projector and the collection of DVDs made available made our children happy for the evenings when they returned from visits.

The visit to the garden-forest with Bertrand's explanations is worth the detour.

To recommend without hesitation!

A caring host and a very pleasant rental

Thanks to Bertrand for his exemplary welcome and his availability throughout our stay.

The rental corresponds perfectly to the announcement and everything was very clean.

Bertrand gave us some good ideas for visiting this beautiful region. A little extra also for the tomatoes from the garden deposited one morning in front of our door!

Rental recommended without any hesitation!

5 / 5 5 / Vince / April 2021 site Airbnb®. Full traveler review

We had an excellent weekend with Agnès and Bertrand.

We strongly recommend this accommodation because of the extreme quality of reception and the lodging itself.

Excellent location in a beautiful listed village not far from the coast and also close to beautiful inland towns such as Surgères, Saint Jean d'Angeli, Saintes,...

Many little attentions from Bertrand and a great availability to give good tips for visits and talk about ecology, history or other subjects.

Very clean, very comfortable, well insulated and well equipped accommodation. Absolutely nothing to complain about.

You can go there with your eyes closed and we will return with the children next time with great pleasure.

Short distances to La Rochelle and the islands. Good excursion tips from the landlord.

We would love to come back anytime.

5 / 5 5 / Michel Van Tilborg / September site Airbnb®. Full traveler review

We enjoyed our stay immensely. It is a lovely, comfortable and spacious house and the garden with terrace a beautiful place to sit. Everything was actually as we would expect, nice living room, well equipped kitchen, very nice bedroom and the also the bathroom nice and spacious and nicely decorated.

The location is also very good, made nice bike trip to La Rochelle, to the market in Rochefort, day trip to Ile d' Oleron and cycled 60 km and of course to the beach.

In short, everything perfect!

Highly recommend

4 / 5 4 / Aimy Dubois / September 2022 Airbnb®. Full traveler review

We had a very good stay in the accommodation, thanks to Bertrand for all the little information and everything.

the accommodation is very good, the bedding is perfect for good restful nights! Everything was as advertised.

Negative points a strong smell of humidity in the main room and the bathroom and we had the visit of small centipedes on the walls when returning in the evening.

And also the very nice and clean outdoor space but in plain sight so no real privacy.

You should also know that the accommodation is perfectly placed to visit a lot of things. We enjoyed our stay.

We entered the accommodation as soon as you left. After months of heat wave, it is dry. The recent rain may have influenced your perception as much with the terracotta floor.

The two extraction VMC in the bathroom seem sufficient to us. One is permanent, the other only during the shower + 10min.

We also noticed that the windows of your gite remained open despite the rain during your stay.

About the centipede

In the countryside when it rains, some visitors go inside to take shelter. You must have encountered the Scutigera swift.

It regulates wasps and spiders. Nothing to fear if you don't seek to capture it.

Our pesticide-free ecological approach brings a certain biodiversity, especially when you keep the windows open. She returns.

5 / 5 5 / Chris / may 2021 site Airbnb®. Full traveler review

Beautifully renovated accommodation, very clean, very spacious, very comfortable, and very very well equipped.

Ideal location, very quiet in a small village close to all amenities and tourist attractions.

We weren't able to enjoy the garden because of the weather, that's the only regret of our stay.

Our host was charming, very accommodating, and full of little touches.

To recommend absolutely...

5 / 5 5 / Youcef Sta / April 2021 site Airbnb®. Full traveler review

Charming little house with character (exposed stone, wooden beams) in the middle of the countryside.

Bertrand is a very friendly host and gives good advice (for exploring the region).

Our 2 darlings loved the equipment for young children (toy box, books, DVDs...)...

as well as the garden where we were able to have breakfast. Beyond the tourist visits, the beach of "Chatelaillon" is 15 minutes by car and it is, in my opinion, the most beautiful in the region.

In short, I recommend this accommodation without hesitation.

Quiet ecological cottage sea and countryside well placed

Very well. The welcome is professional with respect for barrier gestures, explanations and touches of attention.

The terrace and the hammock are very pleasant in the autumn sun of this region.

I am thinking of reserving in summer to benefit from the freshness of the exposed stones and the location well located for visiting the region.

It's true that the bedding is exceptional. I slept like a dormouse.

Thank you to the Vendeville family and their home in the growing forest and see you soon.
