    The guest accommodation was outstanding. We had a superb bedroom and bathroom and a lovely lounge area. It was very hot whilst we were here(36c) so the pool was a godsend.

Françoise et Alain
Charme, typicité, calme, détente, confort, point de départ idéalement situé au centre du département pour visiter la Charente-Maritime et proche de la Charente.
Nous avons souhaité faire chambre d'hôte pour le plaisir de rencontres nouvelles, d'accueillir dans notre jolie longère charentaise et de faire découvrir les charmes de notre belle et douce région.
Situé dans le petit village de Geay, vous aurez le loisir de découvrir aux alentours une campagne riche et variée, la côte et ses plages, des villes chargées d'Histoire et de nombreuses balades et activités sportives ou de détente dans les marais, en bateau, à la découverte des parcs à huîtres, de nombreux vestiges romains et gaulois, d'églises romanes remarquables et classées; et aussi découvrir les spécialités culinaires locales.
