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.

Nice place to stay

Nice place to stay, fully and nicely renovated. With more attention to details and some water leaks resolve, it can be a perfect place to spend some days. Also, cleaning can be better in certain parts of the room. Breakfast simple but tasty and enough. Owners very nice and helpful.

Une escale chaleureuse !

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. Coup de cœur sur les espaces communs du gîte avec une ludothèque incroyable et de nombreux jeux de société à disposition
