The property is situated in a small hamlet between Sauzé-Vaussais and the historic town of Melle, an hour from La Rochelle, Poitiers and Angouleme.

Chaignepain is ideal for cycling and walking along meandering lanes past small vineyards, fields of sunflowers and maize, taking in panoramic views of the region. The way of life in this area is so rural and unhurried that it gives the impression of going back through time. The total absence of any light pollution, means that at night you can look up to an astonishingly crisp and clear sky and enjoy a glorious display of stars. Chaignepain is very well placed for visits to Cognac, La Rochelle, Ile de Re, Chauvigny, Venise-verte, Futuroscope at Poitiers and the local historic town of Melle. We benefit from living in the region that is recognised as the 2nd sunniest in France.

Wonderful Holiday

Review Submitted: December 11, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
We thoroughly enjoyed our week break at 'Le Chevrerie' we stayed in the Saanen Gite which has been excellently renovated and is equipped with everything you could possibly want - as are the other Gites (we had a look at them all and were very impressed), Tania, Mike and Keenan are excellent hosts and the home grown produce is wonderful. We look forward to returning, Highly recommended,

Another fantastic holiday

Review Submitted: September 23, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
This is our second year at La Chevrerie and it was as lovely as last. Once again Tania and Mike provided everything we needed (and more) and were always on hand to help and advise on the area if needed. This year we enjoyed home grown fresh fruit, veg, meat and honey which was lovely.
The gites are beautifully rennovated and finished to a very high standard with lovely - and private - outside areas where we bbqed every night.
The immediate area is fairly quiet but there's lots to do within driving distance. This year we went canoeing, on a velo-rail, visited Chauvigny (well worth a trip!), Futuroscope. Rest of the time we spent relaxing by the pool and cycling around the wonderfully flat countryside (Thanks for T&M for the loan of your bikes).
Hard to believe now, that as this holiday approached we were begining to wonder whether we had made a mistake revisiting the same place twice. At the end of the holiday we were trying to work out how we can fit in another visit next year. Highly recommend it.

What a wonderful holiday!

Review Submitted: September 3, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
We spent 2 weeks at the Saaen gite and have a wonderful time. The place is really relaxing and peaceful but still with lots to keep the children entertained. Or daughters (5 and 2) loved the pool, the outdoor space and of course the rabbits! The gite itself was very well-equipped and as other reviews say they pictures don't do it justice. There are lots of good places to explore (most less than 1 hour away) and the beaches around La Rochelle were great for the whole family. We were made to feel really welcome by Mike and Tania, thank you for such a lovely holiday!

Wonderful holiday!

Review Submitted: August 27, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
My husband, two boys and I have just returned from our holiday in the Rove gité and we can't praise it highly enough. The git?s are beautifully renovated and as previous reviewers have said, he and Tania really have thought of everything.

The git?s are perfect to relax in the peace and quiet - they are very cool in the hot weather and the pool is wonderful for dipping in and out of.

My kids found the playground equipment great fun. There are swings, slide, playhouse with little play kitchen and dining set, skittles and also table tennis and table football in the games room which is situated between the git?s and the main house. Oh and wifi is in the games room for the techies! They've thought of everything!

There are animals to feed in Mike and Tania's field which our kids loved and the gardens are beautiful for the adults to sit in with a cheeky glass of wine while the kiddies play.

To be honest we didn't go out and about in the car much as we were there to relax but did go out for a few walks and the area is very beautiful and also very friendly.

All in all, a fab holiday and we will most definitely return!

Fantastic fortnight in Rove

Review Submitted: August 11, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
Just returned from two great weeks staying in Rove with our two children (aged 16 & 12). The accommodation, facilities, and overall setting are all super. The gite was very clean, renovated to a high standard and had everything we needed.

Plenty of room outside for alfresco dining but with privacy maintained. Having a heated pool metres from the front door and large gardens was just great.

Nothing was too much trouble for Mike and Tania, including recommending local restaurants and organising provisions for us as we arrived quite late on the first night.

The surrounding area is lovely and definitely the sunflower capital of the world! Good local markets, and Cognac, Poitiers, the Marais Poitevin, and Futuroscope are all within easy reach, and when combined with spending lazy days by the pool, it all made for a great holiday.

Would definitely hope to return.
