Great 2 weeks

From the minute we arrived with the lovely welcome pack, we had a great 2 weeks holiday. The house was perfect in terms of size, location and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a great stay. We got great tips from Sue on events and music in the area. We ate out in the local pizza restaurant and in the restaurants in the port. We loved the huge garden and the pool. We'd love to come back again!

Wonderful stay at La Sauvagette! We loved staying at this comfortable gîte in the gorgeous village of Mortagne-sur-Gironde. Vikki and Andrew were wonderful hosts, very helpful and friendly. The house had everything we needed, clean and well stocked with everything needed for self catering holiday including charcoal BBQ.The garden was lovely with great views across the vineyards. Pool was clean and warm and enjoyed by us all. Plenty of sun loungers and seats. Garden box had inflatables, brollies and beach towels.Village is fab with lots of restaurants within walking distance, butchers, boulangerie, pizza, mini super market. 15 min walk down to port with lovely restaurants and few bars and a weekly market.We will definitely return!

Relaxing

A beautiful house maintained to a high standard and equipped with all that you need for your holiday any time of the year. Situated on the edge of the village its very tranquil with a large garden with mature shrubs to ensure you privacy around the pool and patio (a little breezy at times). The village of Mortgane is very unassuming with shops, bakeries, butcher etc and a selection of welcoming restaurants and bars to eat and drink looking over the small harbour. A good base to tour the area or excellent relaxing holiday with every you need on your doorstop.

Very Relaxing Holiday

The property is set in an unspoilt village and is within walking distance of a few small shops. The house overlooks vineyard and countryside and has a pleasant swimming pool in the garden. The layout of the house makes it ideal for a couple or family. It is very clean and everything exceeded our expectations. We were sorry to have only booked one week as we would have enjoyed a longer stay. There are several small towns and good beaches within a short drive and we had no difficulty in finding restaurants locally. Overall, thank you to the owners for keeping good standards throughout. No problem in recommending this to anyone wanting a peaceful, relaxing French holiday.

lovely well equipped property in good location

We enjoyed our September stay in this lovely spacious property. The whole property was large and stylish with attention to detail which is lovely for a rental property. It was great having such reliable wifi and British TV for the darker evenings. We would recommend it to anyone looking for peace and quiet but still have access to amenities. Great to be able to wander into the village for a baguette or bottle of wine!! The pool was lovely and given the time of year was heated to a nice temperature! The area is beautiful for walking or cycling with Mescheurs a particular favourite. Local restaurants served good food at reasonable prices with loads of fish on the menu which was a delight!! Would highly recommend.

Fantastic Holiday

We had a fabulous week at the property. 6 of us there, plenty of room in the house and a superb garden. Pool was perfect for the weather, with a large garden overlooking vineyards. Plenty of outside space for sitting and dining. The house was immaculate, everything provided that we needed for the week. All communication with the owner was great. The house is on the outskirts of a lovely village, we walked into the village every morning to get pastries for breakfast from the bakery. There’s also a small co-op for other essentials. We had a great meal at the port that we could also walk to. It’s in a lovely area with lots to do. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to holiday in the area.

Comfortable, peaceful house on edge of village

Our third visit in 10 years :-) The house is in a peaceful lane, backing onto grape vines, on the edge of the pretty little Gironde estuary village of Mortagne sur Gironde. Huge garden, not overlooked. Great pool, Fantastic (new) big charcoal bbq, outdoor seating. UK FreeSat TV. WiFi is quite weak as it’s a very rural area, so wouldn’t recommend if you want to do any work on a PC during your visit. Bakery, butchers, great little supermarket and several restaurants in village, all within walking distance (or a short drive) from the house. The owner, Vikki is fantastic; always very prompt communication and so friendly and helpful. It adds to the positive experience of the stay.

Superb house, well equipped, tranquil setting, convenient for village shops, great value

This was my partner's and my second visit to this house with private heated pool and large garden, set on the eastern edge of the village, backing onto vineyards. The garden is screened from the property to the right of the house by large hedges, so is quite private. To the left is a field about 150 feet wide before the next house, which is also well hedged. We love the tranquillity and the convenience - the village bakers, butchers, pizzeria and supermarket are all about 10 minutes walk away and the restaurants in the pretty little port/marina are about 20 minutes walk away (beware, there is a steep hill to climb back up from the port, which can be hard work after a meal!). The views over the port and Gironde estuary from the top of the village are beautiful. The house is well equipped and comfortable with good WiFi and UK TV via FreeSat (and French TV too). There is a covered area behind the house with a table and chairs under it, which is great for taking refuge from the sun (it was 30 degrees C some days during our stay). The built-in garden BBQ was a good way to end the day with the sun setting and the large variety of birds flitting over the garden. We think that this house represents great value for money. As per our previous visit, the owner, Vikki is very friendly and responsive to messages. I'm sure we will return again.

Beautiful location

Great location and lovely property. Very spacious inside and very large garden-kids loved playing ball games and the little tea set went down a treat with our little boy. Seating area was a bit warm as no shade and sometimes too windy for the parasol- would benefit from an awning. Fantastic facilities including good range of cooking equipment. The bakery down the road was a must visit for fresh bread and treats. Villa only 20 mins from the beach and 40 mins to Royan. Victoria was amazing at answering any questions as and when needed.

From booking this villa - to arriving - to leaving, everything was really easy. Vikki was great always ready to answer any questions straight away. The property manager Kim and her husband Phil are brilliant, very informative about place’s to eat and where to visit. Anything you needed they sorted it out. The villa, garden and pool are beautiful. The Most relaxing, tranquil place we have ever been to. The only noise was bird songs which is lovely. We would highly recommend this villa

Belle découverte

Très beau séjour passé au sein de cette location. Nous avons apprécié notamment l'espace et le calme de la propriété qui est aussi bien située pour réaliser diverses visites. La maison est bien équipée et agréable à vivre. Bien que le site indique clairement que la propriétaire parle anglais, nous aurions espéré que les documents sur place soient traduits en français. Sur le plan matériel, le lit à deux places est confortable, les dimensions reprises sur l'annonce sont correctes mais il n'est pas adapté à des personnes de plus d'1,80 m. Au-delà de cet aspect pratique, nous avons passé une excellent séjour là-bas et nous espérons pouvoir y revenir un jour! Merci à la propriétaire pour sa réactivité dans ses réponses et son souci continu du bien-être des locataires !

About the host

Hosted by Victoria Adkins

Host profile image
My husband is a retired London firefighter and I work as an Office Manager in an infant school. We are still as busy as we every were but both enjoy relaxing together when we can. We have been married for over 34 years and have four children and now a wonderful Grandson who we visit as often as we can. He lives in Devon so we have a very long journey each time. I have lived in Leigh on Sea, Essex since I was 7 having been living in Northants previously. My husband and I bought our first house together in Leigh on Sea and love living here. It is a very vibrant town with lots to do.

Why they chose this property

We bought a plot of land originially and had the house built as when we started looking at properties to purchase we were advised by a local estate agent this would be a better option. She turned out to be correct. Having a new build we did not have to worry about renovating an older property without the time to do it. The village of Mortagne was perfect for us. Whilst remaining quiet in our part of the village within a short walk to the Port you can enjoy the bustling marina and its restaurants etc.

We had enjoyed many a holiday in this part of France when our children were small and thought wouldnt it be lovely to be able to come back all the time. We were fortunate to find a very lovely architect company and estate agent who helped with the search of the land and support with the build of the property. They both spoke very good English and this was an immense help during the process.

What makes this property unique

We loved this house mainly because of the views over the vineyards and the peace and quiet we get when we come over to stay. It is our very own French Country Cottage.
What we really liked it the fact we have a beautiful cottage in a wonderful village that has all the modern conveniences of a new home. It has been very easy to maintain which is very important when renting out to holiday makers. We want our guests to experience a home from home time without any worries. We think our guests feel the same and we continue to receive very good reviews.
When we visit after the summer season has finished I am always amazed how you wouldn't know I have had a busy season with lots of guests. Everything seems to be very well looked after by our guests. I do have a very good property manager who looks after my changeovers and guests which does make a big difference.
If you are thinking of booking with us you wont be disappointed.
