A French countryside holiday with a difference

Set among vineyards, sunflower fields and the rolling countryside of Charente-Maritime, Chatenet Holiday Gîtes offers three comfortable self-catering gîtes, a swimming pool, spacious grounds and beautiful views across the Seugne valley.

Whether you're looking for a relaxing family holiday, a getaway with friends or a peaceful base for exploring southwest France, you'll find plenty to enjoy here.

Choose the gîte that suits you

We have two spacious six-person gîtes and a romantic two-person gîte, each with its own character, private outdoor space and everything you need for a comfortable stay.

For larger families or groups of friends, the entire complex can also be booked exclusively, sleeping up to 14 guests.

Relax & unwind

Take a dip in the 8 x 4 metre swimming pool, relax on your terrace or simply enjoy the views across the surrounding countryside.

There are gardens and outdoor spaces to enjoy, with plenty of room for children to play. Our gîtes are also heated and air-conditioned, making them comfortable for holidays throughout the year.

Explore Charente-Maritime & beyond

Chatenet is ideally placed for exploring the region. Discover local villages, markets, food and wine, or head further afield to the beaches around Royan and the Gironde Estuary.

Wine lovers are particularly well placed, with Bordeaux, Blaye and Saint-Émilion all within easy reach.

And being just a few kilometres from the N10 means getting here is straightforward too.

Discover French wine without leaving the property

Wine is a big part of what we do.

We're both WSET Diploma graduates and have our own licensed wine-tasting room here at Chatenet. Join us for a relaxed tasting and discover Bordeaux and other French wines, or let us help arrange visits and tastings with local producers.

You can also buy a selection of our favourite wines to enjoy during your stay.

Your holiday, your way

We live on site in a separate property, so we're here if you need us — whether that's advice about where to eat, which market to visit or which château to put on your itinerary.

But we also understand that you're on holiday. If you want privacy and peace, we'll leave you to enjoy it.
