About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

THE RETREAT…”Huge house, gardens and pool. So much fun. Loved it”.

If you are looking for something that has recently been renovated, with straight walls, without the odd crack, inside and out, Shabby Chic Paradise is probably not for you.
If by contrast you are looking for something idyllically charming you've just found it.
It is also the ideal if not perfect home and location for families with young children; it is safe and secure, has a large swimming pool but not too deep, gardens galore in which children can round around, a huge trampoline, a slide and swing set plus a variety of games and toys which are available to all!
On a practical note we have two kitchens and four fridge-freezers meaning you don't have to go shopping every day! Stock up, sit back and relax while your children run around the house and gardens.
Lastly, whilst seemingly in the middle of nowhere we are in fact only minutes away from the City centre of Saintes with a multitude of shops, restaurants, parks and attractions and we are only 30 minutes or so from the glorious sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast.
If the above strikes a chord with you we look forward to welcoming you to Shabby Chic Paradise, which is exactly what it is!
Best wishes,
Michael, Sophie, Lily and Rose.
