“Perfect stay in Saintes”
Caroline is very attentive to detail. Nothing was needed by us. We stayed during the heatwave, so a floor fan was supplied. Breakfast was served outside and was plentiful with the croissants, baguette, homemade confitures, plus apples & yogurts. Lots of hot coffee & milk. Highly recommend this property.

“Excellent overnight stay in lovely B&B”
The property is a self-contained apartment with a well equipped kitchen with a table. Bedroom and bathroom are both very good sizes. Overall a very comfortable space. Parking is good too. The location is about 20mins walk to the centre where there are plenty of restaurants and bars. It is also very accessible for the motorway. We wish we had more time to discover the area. Dominique and Caroline are very helpful and nice hosts.
