Superb stay in Saint Maigrin
Fantastic house in a great location. House is laid out in three separate en suites. Worked well for an extended family, we had three couples and children. Wi-Fi quality was superb as one our our group needed to work. Loads of toys and a well equipped kitchen. Sharon was a pleasure to deal with. Despite temp hitting 34celsius, we were never too warm. Short drives to shops. We’re hoping to stay again!

A perfect stay
We just spent 2 great weeks at Maison de Lafenestre. Sharon has managed to create a very comfortable environment while maintaining the beautiful, authentic aspects of the house. There is plenty of space, both inside and out. The beds are comfortable, long enough and made up in crispy white. Cute little bathrooms for lovely, powerful showers. The kitchen provides everything one could possibly need. The 2 ‘salons’ are wonderful with lots of space and high ceilings. Though we did not spend much time inside, it was great to find a collection of books, movies and games. The house was exceptionally clean. During a very warm week, we managed to keep the house relatively cool by opening and closing the shutters at the appropriate times. And of course, the swimming pool… it is a good size, and the pool area is wonderful with loungers and umbrellas. Also for our dog, this house was a perfect fit. She will miss the huge garden with plenty of corners to discover, shade to keep cool in or sunny spots for basking in the morning sun. Saint Maigrin is tiny, there is not a single shop, so a car is needed, even to go to the bakery. If you don’t mind that, and we didn’t, you will love the space and calm. At night it gets pitch dark, the best for star gazing. All the little farmers roads on the rolling hills provide countless kilometres for quiet and safe walks and runs with beautiful views over the green, open and friendly area of Charente Maritime. Communication with Sharon was quick and easy throughout. Christine was very welcoming upon arrival and did a great introductory tour of the house and grounds. We loved our stay. Thank you, Sharon.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Gorf

Host profile image
I live near Brighton in the UK. We as a family spend a lot of time in France and ultimately I plan live out there much more. For 25 years I ran a joinery company which explains why I love the house so much....there's a lot of beautiful features and woodwork.

We have fantastic neighbours in France and they help me to look after the house and our guests

Why they chose this property

I bought the house as we visit the Charente very frequently as we love the local area and also have family not far from here (I am French).

Why here? The weather is good....so much better than UK! The area is fantastic, so much to see and do and places to visit. The village is very peaceful and we always leave relaxed and wanting to stay longer.

What makes this property unique

The house is 400 years old and there are so many lovely original features.

Saint Maigrin is a peaceful village surrounded by vinyards but also near enough to so many great places to visit. We are 10 minute drive to 2 main towns - Jonzac and Barbezieux, and 7 minutes from Baignes a lovely village with a street market on a Sunday, while you take a coffee at the local Bar. We think it's a great central point for exploring the Charente region

The house also has a private heated swimming pool.

We're dog friendly and the garden is walled/fenced off around the perimeters.
