Further details for this holiday apartment rental in La Rochelle - Surgeres area, France

Activities: Discover the Marais by boat from numerous embarcation points (Arcais, Coulon, La Garette, Damvix), or hire a bicycle (Arcais, St Hilaire la Palud) and follow the specially designated routes. Fantastic area for bird watching with a bird sanctuary at St Hilaire la Palud. Numerous golf courses within easy reach, and fishing for inland and off shore enthusiasts. Seaside sports and activies within very easy reach including sailing, kite surfing and surfing (Ile d'Oleron and Ile de Re). Plenty of nearby indoor / outdoor swimming pools with slides and chutes to keep the kids amused.

Places of interest: History is ever present in Poitou Charentes. From prehistoric times to the present day, each period has left its mark. Experience Romanesque architecture at its best (eglise Saint-Pierre at Aulnay-de-Saintonge, eglise Saint-Hilaire at Melle). Enjoy sightseeing in towns of art and architecture, and towns of historical interest (Parthenay, Saintes, Poitiers, Talmont, Cognac, Brouage).

Restaurants and shopping: La Rochelle is full of great places to eat, and seafood is obviously a speciality. The shopping here is also fantastic, from small independent boutiques to larger department stores, all catering to a very style conscious crowd.

The Ile de Re is becoming a more and more trendy place to visit, attracting the celebrities that used to haunt St Tropez, and yet still managing to stay a lovely place. The restaurants at St Martin de Re and La Flotte are exceptional, and great places for watching the world go by. Shopping at St Martin is very good and surprisingly reasonable.

There is an excellent restaurant / creperie / bar right on the edge of our village, just a 10 minute walk away. Run by very friendly Belgians, La Ferme Flamande is open every lunchtime and Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. Great plat du jours for 10 euros, and a wonderful selection of crepes. Other good local restaurants in Surgeres, Arcais, Coulon.

Tranquil & idyllic

Review Submitted: September 22, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
My friend and I did our annual gals getaway here this summer - and both agree it was our best holiday to date. The apartment was lovely, offering all the comforts needed to make a true home from home. In a tranquil, idyllic setting with plenty to do in the surrounding area - we visited beaches, La Rochelle, did a couple of bike rides etc We would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to those looking for a tranquil get away, but with plenty of get-up-and-go to enjoy all that this beautiful region has to offer. Mick & Carole were wonderful, as was Monsiour Claude the friendly farmer!

Review Submitted: September 18, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
Lovely little gite in the middle of the countryside with the Marais Poitevin area at your doorstep and La Rochelle/Il de Re just a half hour drive. The gite is very well equipped and cosy, we received a warm welcome from the owners, including a baguette and bottle of wine. Only disadvantage is the lack of garden space (small area allocated at the rear but is not in the sun after the morning).

A lovely base to explore this area of France

Review Submitted: July 20, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
We stayed at Le Petit Flat for one week in July; and felt it was a fantastic base for exploring this stunning part of western France during long sunny days.

The flat itself was perfect for a couple – with catering facilities and use of an outdoor space breakfast outisde and a barbeque for evening meals. Although we were scared by a big spider or two (typical of the countryside) the flat was tidy, clean and nicely furnished.

There was no evening entertainment on offer in the village but we enjoyed a few relaxing evenings strolling down to the petanque arena for a quick game of boules surrounded by the sunflowers that line the country roads. We also took in the village of Surgeres – which we would recommend for supermarkets and historic sites – for a meal out as well as the nearby creperie.

The owners were incredibly kind and helpful – giving us plenty of holiday advice and help when needed, and we would recommend this happily for people with a car on an exploring holiday. There are plenty of places to go and visit (La Rochelle, the Isle de Re, Rochefort, the Marais) but a car is a necessity to do the area justice.

Excellent Property

Review Submitted: August 3, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
We stayed in Le Petit Flat in July for 1 week. Mick and Carol are so easy to deal with and the booking process was so easy. The property is in a small village called St Pierre D'Amilly which is a ten minute drive from Surgeres and about a thirty minute drive from La Rochelle. The property itself is beautiful with rustic walls and ceiling beams. It was spotlessly clean on arrival and Carol & Mick had left lovely fresh bread and wine! Everything you need is provided in the flat. All you need to do is head to the local market and stock the fridge! There is so much to see and do in the surrounding area. La Rochelle is great and the neighbouring Ile de Rey is a must visit. Also closeby is Arcais where you can hire bikes and cycle the tracks around the Venise Verte - again a must do! Within easy driving distance is Cognac, Niort, Saintes and a host of other towns and villages. Bordeaux is also about one and a half hours south. In the evenings you can chill out in the flat with a book or one of the many DVDs provided. Overall, we had a fantastic holiday in a fabulous property and would definitely recommend it to anybody considering travelling to this beautiful part of France.

Lovely!

Review Submitted: September 22, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
My Fiancé and i stayed for a week at Le petit flat between 8th and 15th August, and we wish we had booked to stay for 2 weeks instead of just one! It was lovely - everything was as it is on the information sent to us and Mick and Carole were super hosts. The flat is well equipped and really lovely. The villiage is quiet and peaceful, it was just perfect! I would definatly recommend this to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway! We will definatly be returning at some point! If you want further information, please feel free to ask Mick for our email.
