Maison du Couvent - Le Chateau in Villebois
We have enjoyed two wonderful family holidays at Maison du Couvent. Trisha and Don are welcoming and thoughtful hosts, and the accommodation is spacious, clean and well-equipped. There is free access to the large swimming pool, and walnut trees provide shade for those who don’t want to be in the sun. We enjoyed all our meals outside around the large table on the terrace overlooking the pleasant garden area. The town is beautiful and historically interesting - we will definitely be going back if we can! Sarah B - July 2023
Wonderful stay with my family. Fantastic location and a beautiful house, it had everything we needed. Was very relaxing and will definitely be going back. Loved it. Ral K - August 2023 (via AirBnB)
We have just returned from a week's stay and regret terribly not staying for two! The house is beautiful and in a fantastic location in a lovely town. We have stayed in many gites etc in France and we couldn't fault anything about this one. It was lovely staying somewhere with good quality crockery, cutlery, bedding…everything about it was great! We don't usually return to the same house or location but have decided we definitely want to return to Maison du Couvent! Helen J - August 2016
Great place, lovely views from terrace. Nice pool. Bedrooms spacious and clean, comfy beds. Hosts very welcoming, helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend! Linda H - July 2015
After five days at this centuries old, but wonderfully remodeled, [gite], I believe I've found the perfect base. As I write this, at the Maison du Couvent, on a cool spring morning, I know I'll be coming back. Time for coffee, and then a walk past the cherry and walnut trees, up to the castle.

Cadre magnifique et agréable - la chambre est impeccable, et le petit déjeuner divain. Merci! Alain B - Jan 2015
I recently stayed at Maison du Couvent for four nights, and can recommend it extremely highly. The surrounding area is idyllically rural, but the house itself is also a pleasure to experience. The owners are lovely, and it quickly felt very homely. The facilities are excellent, the bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom had a great shower. A warm, welcoming and peaceful stay all round! Yvonne E - June 2014 (via Tripadvisor)
Une très belle maison d'artiste adossée a un magnifique village médiéval... Don et sa femme ont été très accueillant, la chambre est aussi spacieuse que propre. Jeremy P - August 2014 (via AirB&B)
Nous etions un groupe d amis venus pour un mariage dans la region. Nous avons adore l'accueil et le service de Don et Trisha adorables et aux petits soins durant ces trois jours chez eux. Tout etait tres agreable, aussi bien le lieu, que la piscine. Les chambres etaient propres, la literie de tres bonne qualite. A tomber! Le village et son chateau est egalement tres beau, les balades et le marche du samedi sont pittoresques et sympa. Nous esperons y retourner! Sophie P - August 2014 (via AirB&B)
Don et Trisha ont su faire de la Maison du Couvent un endroit absolument agréable. C'est beau, c'est propre et l'accueil vraiment chaleureux. Si vous cherchez la tranquillité, dans un environnement agréable et pittoresque, je vous recommande fortement la Maison du Couvent. Jacqueline U - January 2014 (via AirBnB)
If you are looking for ...very comfortable accommodation; plus, a seemingly infinite variety of photogenic locations nearby - then, look no further...[Maison du Couvent].. has it all! Anna L - August 2013
I relaxed, soaked-up the beautiful atmosphere, enjoying wonderful company, food & wine. We will certainly return and recommend. Trisha and Don are a great double act... Jane H - September 2013
Charming and very relaxing place to stay. The accommodation has everything you could possibly need. Emily K - October 2013
The [accommodation is] very well appointed, functional and extremely comfortable. The hosts are kind and caring Karen J - October 2013
Listen everyone - [Maison du Couvent] is amazing. Jeremy and I were overwhelmed by the village, the POOL, the incredibly beautiful comfortable welcoming en-suite bedrooms, the countryside, and the castle. Just go! Sally and Jeremy L - June 2013
Lots of swimming, beautiful South of France weather, wonderful environment, visits to wonderful villages around Villebois-Lavalette, Charente, France Sud. Thoroughly recommended by both of us ! ... the most satisfied customers on the planet. Maurice and Jennifer P - July 2013
