Cottage vacation rentals in Saintes

What a serene and peaceful location, I've been visiting this area for 12 years and this is the 1st Airbnb we really didn't want to leave. We thoroughly enjoyed how private and tranquil the whole space was, besides some visits from a very friendly dog and of course a warm welcome from Fabien and his daughter we saw nobody else for the entirety of our stay. Fabien went out of his way to offer us any support we needed, and we couldn't recommend his place more! It's the perfect location for a family stay, and our only regret is that we didn't have more time to stay explore the local surroundings. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you again Fabien! we hope to see you next year.

Recommended hosts, very well hosted at Valerie's. very nice accommodation, well-equipped with beautiful furniture, you won't want for anything. We had a lovely weekend with the family, thank you!

Louise and Mickael hosted us very well, with a bottle of white wine and cold beers! Very much appreciated! We had a pleasant week's vacation at Moulin Chaillou. We were able to enjoy the pool, which the children loved (4 years and 1 year). All shops are nearby, the beach is 45 minutes away, as well as the aquarium, etc. If needed, don't hesitate, Louise and Mickael are there to meet your needs.

Almost don’t want to say how lovely, as will make it more competitive to book to go back! In a word - glorious! - The gite, gardens and grounds and pool are kept beautifully. Gite was spotless and very well equipped (including lots of goodies on arrival, garden games to use there - kids were very happy - charcoal ready for the bbq etc), huge comfortable beds, and wood fired hot tub to sit and look at the stars. - Stunning surrounding views (endless fields of sunflowers) and lovely shady woods to be walk. - Lots of pretty villages - particularly Aubeterre with its central square and river beach worth the short drive (under 20 mins). We also loved the big river beach at St Aulaye (c.40 mins). - Meg and Mark are kind, fun and knowledgeable hosts who were perfect balance of around and incredibly helpful - but very much left us to just relax and enjoy the gite/pool as our own. - Shopping v easy at local supermarkets, various markets and nearby village shop/butchers. Thank you!!

Alexandre and his wife are very friendly and attentive. We were 6 bikers, arbor and barbecue available, we even had the right to small blocks for our crutches. Nothing to say

We had a fantastic stay at Carole and George’s house. The outside space was brilliant and we loved the pool and many different areas to sit and relax. The hot tub was a real bonus! George and Carole are excellent hosts and we would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great week!

Virginia very responsive to my requests, very attentive. Very clean space.

We had a great time with friends and kids. The accommodation is well equipped, quiet, perfect for 2 families. The pool with sauna and jacuzzi is the perfect place for adults and children. The presence of the playground made the children happy. We thank Daphne and Blaise for their welcome. We warmly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet week.

A lovely house in a beautiful location, really close to restaurants, shops and the beach. Really responsive hosts. Thanks!

Great stay as a family at Corinne's. Comfortable bedding, very nice night spaces. Very nice outdoor space. In rainy weather the table inside is a bit tight, we missed the jacuzzi but actually the weather was not suitable Corine is a charming and very friendly host. I recommend

We had a great time at Marie Noelle's place! ✨ The space was sparkling clean and matches the photos although they don't show it enough because it's even better and more spacious in real life! The parking space is super convenient and the area is very quiet and charming with some nice little bakeries nearby! Marie Noelle was kind enough to answer all our questions and is very understanding about check-in times! We recommend it! 👌

Very nice and functional house Communication with Sandrine very easy The house allows you to walk to the beach, which is very nice with the children. They were able to have the beach games available to them An excellent stay

Simon and Sarah are impeccable hosts. The cottage is gigantic and offers an impressive number of activities. You can't be bored, you can't be disappointed. The photos are pretty, but don't do reality justice. The setting is beautiful and exotic. Thank you so much, and I hope to be back soon:)

Great stay. Self check-in. Everything was spotless, a small basket with eggs and tomatoes was waiting for us, thank you for the attention. Very well appointed studio, super comfortable sofa bed. Convenient air conditioning. Bathroom niquel. The garden has much more to our 2 dogs and we had the pleasure of meeting the donkey upon arrival. We stayed 3 nights and were able to visit the area. (Car required) The surroundings are superb and wild for a good walk with the dogs. I recommend if you want tranquility while being quite close to oléron.

Vert Nice host. Thank you

Whilst driving through France with our dog, we saw this gorgeous place was available and thought we had to come and stay, and I’m so glad we did! It felt like we discovered such a gem in a gorgeous setting. The hosts could not do more for us to ensure we had a good time staying - even going as far as finding us a Cognac tour that was open on a Sunday and allowed us to bring our dog to, just so we could enjoy what the area does best! It felt like a huge hug being welcomed into Jonathan & Samantha’s place, with fresh baked goods dropped off in the morning and some really beautiful touches throughout our stay, it really was so perfect. We already can’t wait to come back. Thank you! X

We spent 2 very pleasant weeks with our 4-year-old daughter. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable, the covered terrace is very nice. The indoor pool is a real plus. The residence is close to all amenities and especially the market. We could have gone mostly by bike. We recommend this accommodation without hesitation.

Nicolas and Gaëlle are great hosts. The accommodation is very pleasant in a quiet and green environment (by the river, outdoor lounge, barbecue) with lovely goat neighbors. I would highly recommend it.

Clean and pleasant accommodation. I would 100% recommend this listing.

Perfect stay! Linda was a wonderful host and we had everything we need. Cottage has lots of character in perfect surroundings. Had some of the best meals in nearby Melle.

We loved our stay here. Beautiful location in rolling countryside, comfortable accomodation with amenities just a short drive away. Our host, Fran was very friendly and responsive. The gite was just lovely. We had a great time and would go back.

We spent 2 weeks there with our 2 young children and it was great! we loved it and keep this place in mind 😉

We appreciated Patricia's hospitality. The little house is located in a quiet environment outside the tourist season. The house is well decorated with the "marine" theme, very well equipped and functional for a couple. The immediate environment is very well maintained. We were there as part of a bike weekend.

We stayed here 4 nights. It was really a nice stay. Beautiful, green and peaceful. Huge garden and the games room is really an added value. Sam and Carla were responsive and discreet. Flexible upon request. Thank you very much
