Lovely 16C old house in the centre of Saintes bags of character and very friendly, informative hosts. A little rickety due to its age but this just adds to the charm. Bottom line is that we would be happy to visit again.

Quirky
If you like old and quirky this will be ok for you. Charming hosts but the Madame was unwell and the promised parking had been flooded. Out of season visit so it would have been better if they cancelled and we found an alternative.The room is on top floor of a period home,it is bnb not a hotel. Room- no headboard, no bedside tables, no tea/ coffee/ kettle, no lock on door- 2 flights of stairs to access. Parking on street nearby very expensive and not secure.We stayed 2 nights and it was a question of topping up the machine - around €40. No pool or restaurant as listed by hotels.com.( we didn’t require either but it is misleading). We are English, period buildings very common to us, we have lived in several much older! On the plus side it was nice and warm as weather freezing and you can take dogs.

Business trip with the family
On a business trip to Saintes with the family, the Red Door Inn is located right in the heart of town, with beautiful old building and quaint streets. We used the secured underground parking just a 5 minutes’ walk away and left the car there for a few days. The house is very traditional and full of character, the room was a good size, very comfortable, warm and homely. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We will stay there again if we return to Saintes.

This B&B is easy to find by foot on Rue de Jardins. It's a 14th century townhouse owned by an American expat family. Armand is bilingual and very informative regarding the sites to see in Saintes. She is also a delightful and attentive host, and a textile artisan to boot! My room was ample in size, rustic with a beamed ceiling, and a sizeable in-suite bathroom. Breakfast was served in her wonderful garden, in the shadow of Saint-Pierre Cathedral. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Armand!
