Riverside cottages & watermill in Pons with heated swim spa / pool

We are located in the centre of town so you can walk to the bars and restaurants without having to drive. However we still have 4 acres of land surrounded by the river and countryside so it feels very secluded and private.

In the region of sunflowers and vineyards, midway down the Atlantic coast, the Moulin Chaillou nestles perfectly between the historic port of La Rochelle, the scintillating city of Bordeaux, the soft sandy beaches of Royan and the rolling countryside of the Cognac vines. Set in delightfully natural surroundings, Le Moulin Chaillou offers a quality waterside gite with separate access, in the ancient and medieval town of Pons, in the Charente Maritime region. Recently renovated to a very high standard, the gites are attached to the 14th Century watermill, brimming with character features such as original Charentaise stone walls and huge oak beams, pleasantly contrasting its modern facilities. Family friendly with baby equipment, gym and games area, bikes, fishing, canoeing and outdoor and indoor games.

Relaxing holiday in a beautyful setting

We really enjoyed our holiday in this nicely renovated cottage. It’s located in a quiet town with nice surroundings. We did a lot of excursions to nearby cities and beaches. In the spare time the teenagers could relax in the spa and pool. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We sure can recommend this accomodation!

Great holiday in Pins

We came for a week in July. The gite was as described. We were welcome to use the washing machine - which was useful. The pool is small - ideal for a quick dip to cool down, or for small kids. There are lots of mosquitoes - we got a lot of bites. With hindsight, would have taken anti-mossie stuff. 🤷‍♀️

Agreable

Un cadre très sympathique et des hôtes très à l'écoute. Quelques odeurs d'humidité dans le logement mais nous étions entouré d'eau donc c'est normal

Wonderful location and fantastic hosts!

We loved our week in Pons and felt very much at home in our cosy cottage! Louise and Michael could not have been more welcoming and helpful! We received tips for attractions close to Pons and also further afield. Louise and Michael have done up the property with a lot of care and attention and clearly enjoy the presence of their guests. Pons is an attractive little town within walking distance. The 5 minute walk to the local bakery was an added bonus and we recommend their apricot tart! Talmont-sur-Gironde is only a short drive away and even St. Emilion can be reached in about an hour. We also thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the whirlpool! Thank you so much, we will be back!!!

Very clean, cosy, private, tranquil and relaxing.

The hosts Louise and Michael were very friendly and accommodating and made us feel most welcome. The gite was very comfortable and well equipped. Our morning walks around the several little islets of the mill were very relaxing and it was lovely to be in touch with nature. Restaurants and bakery all within a five minute walk. We would definitely recommend this property and area as a beautiful place to visit, especially if you're looking to relax and step back from everyday life.

Parfait!

Endroit de rêve, très beau, parfaitement au calme bien que dans la ville, entre les îles, les arbres et les bras d'eau.Plein de poissons pour les pêcheurs. Pons et ses alentours sont magnifiques. Les propriétaires sont intéressants, chaleureux, présents juste quand il faut. Un vrai petit paradis.
