Book Valdelaume hotels

Excellent. Stunning location. Surrounded by water. A real get away from it all property. Huge plot surrounded by the river which wraps around the site, under and adjacent to the house. Watch kingfishers from the kitchen. Fish for pike, perch, trout and chub in the river which is teaming with fish. The interior is much better than the photographs suggest. There is little to do in the village as it is a very rural area but there are limited facilities in the next village Dampierre-sur-Boutonne which has a friendly little shop which sells basics but also sells beer and wine and pizzas ( very nice) and has a few tables and chairs where you can have a drink and mix with other tourists and locals. Good shopping nearby at Intermarché at Aulnay and even better at St Jean d’Angely where everything can be found including a good veterinary clinic. We drove from England and it is a long way but was well worth it. Unfortunately the weather was mixed and there is little to entertain you if the weather is poor as it is very rural. We had a great holiday and can recommend this property fully. The house is secure, hidden out of the way and very comfortable with good facilities, good WiFi, well equipped and presented. If you like birdwatching and fishing this is heaven. For anglers we caught good sized fish on fly, worms , maggots and lures. Bait is available in a fridge in the supermarket at Aulnay and a decent selection of tackle including lures, lines, hooks etc. Tight lines!

Lovely hosts in a beautiful peaceful setting. Great pool , great breakfast 10 out of 10

We had an excellent stay at Chez Freddie. Tony was the perfect host, attentive but unobtrusive. The property was ideal for our mixed age range family with a lovely pool, large grounds and plenty of games both outdoors and indoors provided. There is no access to Netflix but a wide range of DVD's provided for evenings if you wish. Every room has an en suite, which is a bonus, although some are shower only there is easy access to toilets on both levels. Some rooms have fans too, which is a nice addition on hot evenings. The area is lovely with plenty to do. Hope to stay again!

Good, friendly helpful people 😁
