Le Repos des Hiboux (Owl's Rest)

 

Villenouvelle is a small hamlet situated in the north of the Charente-Maritime. Less than 5 minutes away is our nearest village with all local amenities including co-op, boulangerie, doctors, dentist, pharmacy, bar/restaurant and church.

 

We have been welcoming guests to our gites for 8 years and thoroughly enjoy the experience. We offer a very warm welcome, continuous hospitality and a commitment to offering a great holiday and a relaxing time. We are very proud of our good reputation.

 

Our gites have all been renovated to a high standard. Each have their own enclosed rear garden, perfect for families with younger children. In addition there is a communal courtyard to the front for playing and socialising with other guests. Our gites are well equipped to enjoy a great holiday. English tv and wi-fi accessibility is standard.

 

Ideally placed for outings to La Rochelle, Rochefort, The Marais Poitevin, Cognac, Poitiers and Bordeaux to name but a few, our holiday homes offer a comfortable base if you wish to explore the Poitou Charentes and Aquitaine Regions. With the added advantage of having 4 low cost airports nearby (La Rochelle, Poitiers, Bordeaux and Angouleme) we are just hours away!

 

Alternatively, you may wish to shut yourselves away from the world and enjoy our 12 x 6m heated swimming pool (via solar panels). All you'll need is a good book or IPod and a bottle of sun lotion ..... perfect !!

 

On arrival you will receive a welcome pack of regional products.
