Aerial view of Le Vieux MonastereGraham and Christine Dove would like to extend a warm welcome to their home at Le Vieux Monastère (the Old Monastery). When we discovered Le Vieux Monastere in its spectacular location we knew at once that it was ideal for creating a perfect holiday environment.” 2012 will be our 9th season and we are once again looking forward to welcoming guests both old and new to experience an unforgettable holiday.

We are always delighted to see this excitement shared by our guests when they arrive at Le Vieux Monastère as they realise immediately that they are about to have a holiday to remember. Surrounded by vineyards and sunflower fields we have created an intimate group of seven exceptional self-catering holiday cottages which are ideally located between La Rochelle, Ile de Re and Cognac and are conveniently situated for the facilities of the historic towns of Saintes and St Jean d’Angely.
