Our stay at La Maison Du Baloir was truly unforgettable. The warm welcome from our host, Michele, instantly made us feel at home, adding a personal touch to our experience. The cozy room featured a spacious layout and a comfortable bed, perfect for a peaceful night's sleep. The property's stunning courtyard garden and pool area provided a serene retreat, ideal for relaxation after a day of exploring the nearby Marais Poitevin Regional Nature Park.Michele's attention to detail extended to the delicious continental breakfast, showcasing local delights that left us craving for more, especially the goat cheese and freshly squeezed juice. The shared lounge area and sun terrace with a swimming pool were delightful spots to unwind and soak in the tranquil ambiance of the rural setting. We couldn't resist taking advantage of the free bikes to further explore the natural beauty of the area, making our stay even more fulfilling.One of the highlights was Michele's exceptional hospitality, as she went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment, offering valuable recommendations for local restaurants and attractions, despite the language barrier. Her kindness and willingness to assist us, even making dinner reservations for us, added a personalized touch that enhanced our overall experience.La Maison Du Baloir's strategic location, being conveniently situated 30 km from La Rochelle, made it a perfect base for exploring the region. The proximity to Rochefort and La Rochelle offered easy access to both coastal adventures and historical sightseeing, enriching our visit with diverse experiences. As a history enthusiast, I appreciated the property's proximity to significant landmarks, adding an extra layer of cultural immersion to our stay. Whether you're seeking a relaxing retreat or a base for discovering the beauty of Bay of Biscay, this historic gem offers a unique and enriching experience that lingers in your memory long after your stay.
