Welcome!

Richard and Anne are delighted to welcome you to the new accommodation at Mas des Poneys. You are invited, with or without your horses, to La Casetta Rita, an authentic gypsy-style caravan set in a peaceful rural setting, at the heart of horse paddocks on a 7-hectare property surrounded by countryside. La Casetta Rita is painted in Italian colors outside and decorated in a chic bohemian style inside. It is ideal for a romantic getaway for two. It features a double bed, a cozy sitting area, a bathroom with shower, and a small balcony for enjoying breakfast outdoors. Inside, you will find a fridge, electric kettle, coffee maker, and toaster for your morning meals. In the small cabin next to the caravan, a fully equipped kitchenette is at your disposal, with an induction hob, kitchen utensils, a sink, and separate toilets. A private gas barbecue is also available. You will have access to the pool and spa shared with other guests and the owners, perfect for relaxing. Pool and spa are open from May to September. We are located in a quiet hamlet between Surgères and La Rochelle. Enjoy the peace and charm of the countryside without feeling isolated: the sea is 20 km away (Châtelaillon-Plage). Many excursions are possible: La Rochelle (boat trips to Île d’Aix and visits to Fort Boyard), Rochefort-sur-Mer, Île Madame, accessible on foot or by car from Port-des-Barques, Île d’Oléron, Île de Ré, and the Marais Poitevin, ideal for cycling or walks along its shaded canals.
