Holiday homes for the great big family

A visit to this oasis is good for both body and soul. If you’re looking for an authentic French farm experience focused on tranquility and new experiences, this is the perfect place. We celebrated our wedding here with 25 guests, and our hosts helped make the evening absolutely perfect.

Three generations of our family went on our first vacation in France—11 people in all—and had a truly wonderful week in this lovely and charming house in Charpey. The house was generally as described and had plenty of space for all of us. We had ordered a linens package, so the beds were made upon arrival, and there were bath towels, which was very convenient. Note, however, that there were no pool towels, so you’ll need to bring your own. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the hosts, who were helpful and accommodating. Overall, the kitchen was clean and well-equipped with most of what we needed during our stay. We especially made good use of the covered patio—it became the gathering spot for many cozy hours together. The kids were also thrilled with the ping-pong table and the two cute cats, which often stopped by the patio and the back entrance. The pool was a big plus, especially given the extreme heat we experienced during the week. However, we were a bit disappointed with the pool area, as it didn’t quite live up to our expectations based on the photos. The area was very overgrown, and leaves, branches, and debris easily fell into the pool and were scattered around the pool area. There were five lounge chairs available, which unfortunately wasn’t enough for such a large group, and the space around the pool generally felt a bit cramped. Because of the heat, we had trouble sleeping on the top floor, as the house doesn’t have air conditioning. The hosts had, however, been kind enough to provide fans, which helped. We arrived in two electric cars and had been looking forward to using the car charger, as described in the listing. We expected a standard home charger, similar to the ones we use with our own charging solutions (Tesla and Clever). Upon arrival, however, it turned out that there was no actual car charger available, only a single-phase outlet. We hadn’t realized that we’d have to bring our own compatible charging plug—it was only by chance that we had one in the car, so we were able to charge. Charging was therefore more of a hassle than expected. Overall, we had a really lovely stay in a charming house that was well-suited for a large family. With a little more maintenance of the pool area and clearer information about charging options for electric cars, the experience would have been even better.

Pernille from Denmark

Stay for 8 adults and 3 children

A thoroughly cozy house and outdoor setting. The interior of the house has been lovingly cared for. Outside, there’s both a covered seating area and cozy spots in the sun and shade in the garden. The hosts have a shop nearby with VERY delicious ice cream, home decor, and lots of fun garden games. We highly recommend it.

Jette from Denmark

Stay for 5 adults and 2 pets

We had a fantastic few days with family at this outstanding gîte (La Plonplonière) in the Sept Vallées. JB and his wife are warm, attentive hosts who made us feel very welcome. The beautifully renovated 18th-century barn has 4 ensuite bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, a seating area on the first floor and a large dining space on the ground floor. Beds are large and very comfortable, and having two ground-floor rooms was ideal for some of our party who had limited mobility. The gîte sits in a large, attractive, dog-safe garden next to the hosts’ house. Amenities are even better than listed on Airbnb—each bedroom has aircon (a lifesaver during our heatwave) and there’s also a swimming pool. JB also offers meals/chambres d’hôte, noted on the gîte’s website but not Airbnb. We’ve stayed in many Airbnbs over the years, and this is easily one of the most luxurious, with truly generous hosts.

Alex from United Kingdom

Stay for 4 adults and 1 pet

This Villa was absolutely incredible, Catherine is the most wonderful host she is great. The property was so much more than we expected. I would definitely get a hire car as it’s a long walk to the village if you would like to eat and drink out, but Ubers were readily available but you will need to walk up to the gate with the clicker to let them in which is a 4 minute walk. We can’t wait to get back, a pure gem of a place. X

Sass from Cayman Islands

Stay for 6 adults

A dreamy getaway—for us, the perfect place to forget the stress of work. We felt right at home immediately and were thrilled with the accommodations. Very close to nature, with the beach within easy walking distance (and we even stopped for a delicious ice cream on the way ;) ). Highly recommended!

Fabian from Germany

Stay for 4 adults, 1 child and 2 babies

Great location, and the pool was wonderful. We were two families traveling together, which worked out really well with the annex and the main house. The house was well-equipped and nice.
