Superb Charentais house & gite with pool and ten minutes from the beach
La Blanchetterie is a beautiful charentais farmhouse and gite set in the quiet village of Chenac, facing south with fantastic views of the Gironde estuary and just 10 minutes from the nearest beach. Complete with pool, the property is set in an acre of garden, surrounded by vineyards and fields of sunflowers. The area benefits from a micro-climate making it one of the sunniest parts of France, enjoying 2700 hours of wonderful sunshine a year. The owners, Katie and Mike Harrington, live at the property in a converted barn behind the house and are at hand to answer any questions, and maybe take you on a tour of a working vineyard for those who are keen to do a bit of tasting.

Had a wonderful time, great house, great weather, will be telling all our friends about it! Thank you for your hospitality Katie and Mike, we hope to return soon.
What a fantastic week - weather brilliant (too hot sometimes, if that is possible). Thanks Katie and Mike for sharing your home with us - it is lovely.
What a fantastic two weeks. The weather has been great. The kids have spent most of the holiday in the pool. Cognac, the zoo, La Rochelle all well worth a visit. The most enjoyable part has been the excellent bike rides to Talmont, Mortagne and Port Maubert. Finally a very big thank you to Mike and Katie who have been excellent hosts.
We have had a great time. We particularly enjoyed Katie cooking us a meal, Saintes, Le Chateua des Enigmes for the kids, Cozes market, bike ride to Mortagnes.
We had a really nice time again. The weather has been great and its been fun playing with Holly and Stevie. Katies cooking is really yummy!
