Secluded country retreat
A traditional French country house, clean and tidy with good facilities. Bikes were helpfully left at the house for us to use. We enjoyed the table tennis table, darts etc on our evenings in. We sadly didn't have very good weather but the garden area, pool etc would be great in the sun. Montboyer is very quiet but the local restaurant and bakery are worth visiting. The house is in a good location for exploring, we loved Aubeterre and Brantome and also had a great day in Cognac.

A wonderful place to get away from it all!
Superb old farmhouse with a lovely garden in a great area for walking and it's dog-friendly too, such a bonus! It was really quiet and peaceful so if you need to chill out this is definitely for you. The house is really spacious, nicely furnished and as a keen cook I particularly loved the bright and practical kitchen. The local organic boulangerie at the bottom of the hill is to die for and there is a big, recently renovated supermarket about 6km away so no need to go far for food, another plus. The owner is very friendly and helpful and we had a thoroughly enjoyable break!

A fantastic property in a perfect setting
We had a fantastic summer break at Chez Gigon and will certainly return in the future. The cottage is very spacious and comfortable and you sometimes forget it's a 16th century farm building! The setting is perfect - even though there are neighbouring properties you wouldn't realise as it was so quiet and rarely heard anybody else. The surrounding countryside is so scenic with great views from so many places inside and outside. The pool area makes this property. We used it every day - ate every meal on the patio area as well as fun in the pool, and again so quiet and peaceful. Montboyer is a 10-15 minute walk away. Not a lot going on there but the restaurant is first class (recommend the pizzas) and they do takeaway. The boulangerie is great also and provided our breakfast every morning - it's a 10 minute walk down the hill towards Montboyer but it will take you longer to walk back (good fitness training walking back up the hill :-) ). Overall a fantastic stay and would highly recommend.

Perfect break in the most beautiful property!!
Chez Gigon is the most gorgeously decorated and located property in the south of France. We spent a very lazy week there with our two sons 15 & 18 years old. With it's own large private pool, games room, Wifi and plenty of space, they were never bored. The owners have thought of everything and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Montboyer is a beautiful, friendly village. We were surrounded by sunflowers and blue skies. Bliss! Thank you :O) xxx

Lovely, rustic house in beautiful and peaceful location.
We had a great two weeks at Montboyer. The house is well equipped and the grounds are very pleasant, with lots of areas to relax. Beautiful views to the surrounding countryside. We had a lot of fun riding bikes, exercising on the trampoline and swimming. The highlights included long walks and foraging for blackberries, daily trips to buy bread at an amazing bakery down the road (selling organic, sourdough and gluten free bread!), and visits to Cognac, Bordeaux, and many local vineyards.

Incredible first family holiday
We had an absolutely brilliant time in Montboyer. The house was very well equipped for two young families- there was lots to do in the house (swim,table tennis, boules etc) and it is a lovely, spacious home- it felt like we weren't on top of one another. We particularly enjoyed evenings outdoors, either on the terrace by the pool or in the small barn area. We stayed in Montboyer during the heatwave and we received great service from Charles who sought out two extra fans for us to help with sleep at night. The area surrounding the villa is gorgeous and we really enjoyed the views and the walks down to the bakery and the restaurant. The local restaurant is brilliant; the food is delicious and it is so reasonably priced! We enjoyed time in Aubeterre and Saint Aulaye nearby. We would recommend the villa without hesitation- the owner was always very welcoming and helpful before our stay. We had a fantastic two weeks there and we would love to return if the chance arises.

Lovely house; fantastic pool; pleasure to have stayed in
My family and I (2 adults, 2 kids) have just returned from a fantastic stay in Chez Gigon. The house is immaculate, as is the pool. It's spacious, comfortable, very well maintained and has spectacular views. The owners were a pleasure to deal with. The walk to the local bakery, first thing in the morning, past the sunflowers, and corn fields was really memorable. Lots to do nearby. We had a great stay!
