Modern Villa With Heated Pool in Charente-Maritime, Mortagne-sur-Gironde Reviews

The 6 of us really enjoyed our stay at Les Lauriers - highlights was the pool, which was a lovely 29 degrees even when cloudy( the kids didn't want to get out! ) the large garden - good for ball games etc and the modern spacious accommodation .Also Mortagne has 2 very good bakers to choose from as well as a good butcher (though I kept going when they were shut) and a well-stocked co-op. The port is also well worth a visit - it has a collection of market stalls (fish, fruit etc) and the pizzeria was great (try a perigordine if you want enough meat to keep you going for a week!). Gigi's was also good.The Villa proved to be a good base to explore the local area -

The zoo at Palmyre(Drive 30 mins) the monastry carved out of the mortagne cliff top, riding an enormous 6 person bike down St George de Didonne seafront. 20 mins drive) and La Rochelle with the aquarium and the museum des automates.

Pool was looked after by a friendly french neighbour who was very good at giving us up to date local weather forecasts and garden also well maintained.

Would highly recommend this villa esp to people with mobility issues.
