French Gites, Cottages and Villas
in the Charente Maritime region
of the South West
Chris and Wendy Blakeman and family have been living in the
Charente Maritime region of South West France for 14 years, keeping
busy by building, renovating and managing self catering gites,
cottages and villas in the St Jean d'Angely area. All our properties are
managed personally by ourselves, so whichever gite or villa you
choose you can be sure you will receive personal service and a warm
welcome.

We have a variety of self catering properties to choose from to suit all
tastes. Our Child friendly gites are perfect for families with young
children, set in a family friendly environment with swings, slide, sand pit
and even a pirate ship as well of course as the heated swimming
pools, an essential for families with young children in the off peak
seasons of June and September.

If your family is older and you are after a little bit of luxury, then our
well appointed villas, some with private swimming pools will be more
your style, with spacious, modern accommodation and all the comforts
of home. For couples or families preferring to be on their own, our
stand alone cottages and villas, all with pools, are worth a look and all
our properties are an easy drive to the coast, beaches and world
famous cities such as La Rochelle and Bordeaux.
St Jean d'Angely is our closest town,
small by uk standards it still boasts two
hypermarkets, banks, a thrice weekly
local market, a hospital and numerous
restaurants and bars. It is set centrally
in the Charente Maritime region of the
Poitou Charente; approximately 1hrs
drive from the coast, beaches and La
Rochelle and 1hr30 north east of
Bordeaux. All our cottages and villas
are between a 10 min to 30 min drive
of St Jean d'Angely and are in a great
location to visit this beautiful part of
South West France.
Most of our cottages, gites and villas
have swimming pools either private or
shared. They are all cleaned and
maintained by Chris who takes great
pride in their daily maintenance. Some
are heated, so you can take
advantage of the cheaper prices and
quieter seasons yet still enjoy the
pleasure of swimming. Our pools which
are not heated easily reach 27c in
summer anyway and provide a
refreshing escape from the heat !
All our cottages and villas are self
catering accommodation. They are
approx. a 4 hr drive from St Malo, 6hrs
from Caen and 8hrs from Calais. We
have a number of airports within easy
driving distance; La Rochelle, Poitiers
and Bordeaux, with Limoges and
Nantes a little further. For detailed
