Château de la Roche Courbon is a large château, developed from an earlier castle, in the Charente-Maritime département of France. It is in the commune of Saint-Porchaire between Saintes and Rochefort. Its name is just as frequently written Château de la Rochecourbon. The château is privately owned, and classified as an historic monument. The garden is listed by the French Ministry of Culture as one of the Notable Gardens of France.

A castle was built around 1475 by Jehan de Latour, on site which had been inhabited since prehistoric times. In the 17th century, the Courbon family, which had occupied the castle for two centuries, transformed it into a more comfortable residence. More alterations were made in the 18th century, but it was eventually sold in 1817 and then abandoned. It was purchased in 1920 by Paul Chénereau, who restored the château and its gardens. The château is still owned and inhabited by his descendants.

"We enjoyed our stay at this property although it could have been cleaner, This mobile home is not on a holiday park it's on a residential park and the surrounding areas were warn and scruffy. There is no water slide on this park. There is no free WiFi on this park You can go to the mairie and buy a ticket costing €16 for 7 days WiFi, they are very helpful, you can pay cheque or cash but no cards."

"Location très fonctionnelle à proximité de nombreuses balades, plage et commerces.Il n'y a pas d'extérieure mais la plage étant au bout de la rue les piques niques sont quotidien !Nous avons été très bien accueilli et conseiller par Stéphanie de la conciergerie.Adresse à recommander !"

"We had a perfect stay at a wonderful location. Thanks Claude for your hospitality."

"Regrettably our plans did not work out as we had hoped and we had to shorten our stay at this property. However, the house was in a delightful (very) rural location; the swimming pool was very welcome after a hot day's sightseeing in Saintes!"

"Beautiful little property in the quiet village of Préguillac. Not far to the coast and an hour drive from La Rochelle and Bordeaux with lots of beautiful Vineyards to visit in between, and a 10 minute drive to Saintes with lots of restaurants and bars, as well as good shopping. Brilliant and welcoming hosts with cute dogs, will miss breakfast and coffee by the pool in the mornings."

"Nous aimons la tranquillité avec nos 4 enfants adultes: Nous avons pu à la fois profiter de la proximité de la plage, des magasins du bourg tout en profitant d'une maison indépendante, bien organisée,navec vue sur mer. Merci à notre hôte pour ses conseils et sa gentillesse! Ce fût une belle semaine!"

"Property exactly as described. Spacious house, lovely pool and gorgeous gardens/patio area with barbecue. Albert was attentive and available, with the pool being cleaned regularly and even supplying fans at short notice when the temperature spiked. Would definitely consider coming back to the same house if we visited the area again."

"Very nice stay. Neighbours were fab. V helpful but stayed put of the way for privacy too. Was a bit disappointed with bar b q. All decking so probably dangerous to have a proper one. What was there was a small chiminee plus a small electric one, neither great . Otherwise house was very good. V well organised and kitted out. Thank you !!"

"Accueil très agréable par Morgane, maison agréable et qui correspond bien aux photos. Pas loin de la mer et du sentier des douaniers Je recommande ! "

"Superbe piscine, c’est calme,les gîtes sont bien séparés et bien tenu par le gardien nous avons passé un bon séjour"

2/5 Poor

"This place is at or near the bottom of the cost range. You get what you pay for. It was adequate for what we needed, but being over 65 we would choose somewhere a little bit more up market with more space."

Nice new building.

"Very comfortable, clean and welcoming. Ideal for overnight stay, staff very polite and helpful. New building 2023 modern decor excellent bathroom with large shower head. Window in bedroom was large but no way to keep it open just a little for fresh air. Would stay again and recommend it to others."
