We are situated in the heart of the beautiful region of Poitou-Charentes with its mild and balmy climate. The gîte is located on the side of the valley overlooking the River Charente making it an excellent location for fishing, walking, bird watching and cycling. Le Tournesol is located at the edge of the pretty peaceful village of Alloue where there is a boulangerie, bar/tabac and post office. The medieval town of Confolens, straddling the River Vienne, is just 15 minutes away, which, each August, plays host to an international festival of world music and dance.

Alloue gite

Review Submitted: August 28, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Directions to the property were excellent. The gite was very clean and plenty of towels were provided. Bedlinien was changed weekly. We were given a warm welcome by the owners and the welcome basket was super. Our queries were answered promptly.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this property. Eating out is expensive due to the poor exchange rate of the Euro but pizza at lunchtime was good.Kayaking on the Vienne river was fun. The boys really enjoyed the splash pool at the gite.

Easter break 2009

Ant&Rhon West Bromwich, UK
Review Submitted: April 20, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
A roaring fire greeted our very late arrival to which our hosts, Sue and David were unconcerned.
The property was spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped also with a comprehensive selection of books, games etc.
Set in sedate countryside a short walk from a village it is a very relaxing place. Ideal if you wish to sightsee due to its central location to a number of large towns or just sample the French village life close by.
We enjoyed dinner on the front terrace on a number of occasions and soaked up the evening sun with a bottle of wine which was very satisfying.
We would like to convey our thanks and best wishes for continued success to Sue and David
A and R
Owner's Response: Thank you for your review and for leaving the gite immaculate. Dave and I wish you every success with your renovation, and look forward to meeting you again in the near future. Best wishes Sue and Dave

Gite

Degens United Kingdom
Review Submitted: April 6, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
The property was beautifully located, very tranquil with farm land all around and close to a babbling river.

The property was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and the owners delightful.

I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending this gite to friends.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your comments and for leaving the Gite perfect. We hope you are successful in finding your ideal home in this beautiful part of France

Happy Holiday

evad NEWARK
Review Submitted: September 20, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This property is superb for those looking for a peaceful and relaxing place to unwind. Spotlessly clean and well maintained with all the mod cons and very comfortable. The property is set in a very picturesque area , located in what has to be one of the most beautiful places in France. If you are prepared to get out and about and explore all the surrounding areas you will get to see some wonderful places and be able to experience the real France. The owners make you feel really welcome and have lots of hints and tips on where to go and what to do. We didn't want to leave, our two weeks went by far to fast. We cant wait to go back.
