What an amazing tranquil place run by the loveliest family. If you are looking for an incredibly comfortable, quiet location in which to step out of the rat race, then this is it.Convenient for Cognac. Nothing is too much bother and the hosts make you feel like a real family guest. Great food if you request dinner. Incredible value.

Très chouette escale sur notre parcours de vacances : le gîte TÊTE À L’AIR est très chaleureux et très joliment décoré. Nous avons bien dormi dans une excellente literie, et avons été accueillies de manière très serviable.
