Excellent stay
Lovely little gite in the grounds of their family home. Brilliant hosts, very welcoming and treated us like family. Closed the property gates so our dog could run mad around their large fully enclosed garden. A real home from home , would not hesitate to stay again.

Cosy, smart, perfect!
This was a lovely place to stay: an 'upside-down' property, with the bedroom and bathroom downstairs, and a very nicely designed living-room/kitchen above. It was very comfortable, and the owners were incredibly helpful and friendly - both in communication before, and during our stay. It's a very pretty, quiet village as well.

Beautiful gite
Saint Vincent la Chatre is a very pretty village and the family running the gite, so very warm and friendly. The pretty gite is set to the side of a beautiful family home. It catered for all our needs including a very comfy bed. If we go back the that area we would definitely stay their again. Many thanks to all the family. Pete and Di

Accogliente, tranquillo.
Dopo un viaggio di molti giorni ci siamo goduti la tranquilla atmosfera di campagna in un cottage molto grazioso. Ben accolti da gentilissimi proprietari, è andato tutto benissimo. Un solo piccolo difetto la scarsa pressione dell acqua.
