Rétaud is a peaceful village situated in Charente Maritime, the second sunniest region in France to the Riviera, with 300 days of sunshine each year. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, which in summer is a patchwork of golden wheat fields, lush vineyards, towering maize and "the star of the show", spectacular vast fields of sunflowers.

The gite, which is a bungalow adjoining the owner’s house within 1 ½ acres of private garden and orchard, sleeps 6 adults - 2 x doubles, 1 x twin room, plus additional items for one baby, (full sized cot, high chair etc), and is fully equipped for all your holiday needs. 

Inside is  a fitted kitchen with washing machine, dishwasher, microwave oven etc., bathroom with separate bath and shower cubicle, separate toilet and in the living room an entertainments system incorporating satellite UK TV and radio stations, CD/DVD player and i-pod connectivity through a hi-fi. Free unlimited wi-fi connectivity is also available.

Outside is a heated 8.1 x 4.6 metres swimming pool with a wooden decked terrace (shared with the owners) in your own private garden with a further sun terrace, barbecue and plenty of space to enjoy games with children.

Close proximity to the village centre means you are just minutes walk away from a boulangerie, épicerie, boucherie/charcuterie, bureau de poste, and the historic 12th century church of St Trojan. There is also a "mini-marché" in the village each Wednesday morning selling fresh fruit, vegetables and seafood.

The village has a first class all weather Tennis Court and Boules Court (boules available free at the gite), and cycles are available free at the gite to enjoy the quiet lanes of the surrounding area.
