ACABANES Luxury villa with heated pool, 20 min Bergerac airport, 5m Vigiers golf

I booked the house for a family celebration and get together. It was fantastically well equipped for games, pool tournaments, outdoor activities and equipment for my grandchildren. Great location and guidance from Tracey on local places to go.

Plenty of space, well kitted out, great location. Ideal for families with young kids.

What a fabulous place. Set in beautiful French countryside, tranquil and full of rural charm. The house is absolutely amazing with a vaulted ceiling and a massive communal area. Many an hour was spent around the 2 log fires, pool table and the kitchen table that could have seated a small army. The swimming pool is very well thought through, with a sliding cover about 3ft over the water, so even if you were to visit out of season you can all jump in and the pool is kept warm. There is even a sauna and gym should you feel so inclined. When you then delve deeper into the house, there are lots of beautifully made up rooms, retaining their rustic charm, yet combined with all the modern luxuries you could want for. The beds are fantastically comfortable and the bathrooms with their roll-top baths and power showers are a great way to unwind after a long day of walks, biking or relaxing on the terrace or in the enormous garden. It is often the case in other such places that details such as the kitchen are lost. Not at all here - all the important bits such as kitchen knives that are actually sharp, ample cutlery, cooking implements, coffee machines, crockery and of course wine glasses are all there in abundance, fully thought through for large groups and families to be more than comfortable. And if cooking isn’t your thing, then there are various restaurants and eateries just a walk or a bike ride away. There are a mass of bikes available of all different sizes and configurations for all ages, making it incredibly handy to get around should you want to enjoy the countryside. And what a beautiful area it is, just a short trip to some amazing castles, vineyards or ancient towns for a bit of sightseeing or wine tasting. Having spent a glorious week there, we didn’t even get around to playing most of the games, the roulette table or massive DVD collection. The place really is so well furnished with everything we could have wanted. An absolute 10/10 and we shall definitely be back. Thank you Tracey Adrian.

What a gem! We were looking for accommodation for a Summer Holiday for a large group friends of 7 adults and 6 kids. Acabanes ticked every box we were looking for and the children (and adults!) were thoroughly spoiled. Tracey has considered everything to enable families to have the best holiday. Our children ranged from 2 years to 8 years and they were all catered for. The list of Infant items available was astonishing as well, we had to hardly bring a thing for our toddler. The Villa was sparkling clean when we arrived and the bedrooms were all lovely. Bed linen clean and plenty of towels for everyone. The huge, cooling, living space through the front door was cavernous and we never felt cramped. We often retreated here during the high heat of the day (35degrees!). The kitchen was kitted out for every cooking need and had plenty of storage, utensils and crockery (which is very rare in a holiday rental!) and the terrace was the perfect place for group lunches and relaxing adult evenings, once the kids were in bed. The grounds and gardens were huge and beautifully kept, with a large sweeping lawn in front of the terrace. The trampoline was a sure hit with all of our kids. The swimming pool was also kept sparkling clean throughout and the salt water wasn't salty like the sea, but made the water very soft. It was very refreshing on the really hot days we had there. The only downside was the amount of bees flying around the pool edge and also falling into the water. They were simply, very thirsty and wanted to drink the water which had spilled out of the pool. But with a lot of children running around, 3 of them were stung on their feet. We notified Tracey and she had the 'Bee man' come round that afternoon. We were advised to leave plates water out for them with sane in so they could land. This helped, but didn't clear them. In the end, we got used to them. But we all had to be very careful where we trod when we got out of the pool. Tracey was hugely helpful from the moment we booked the holiday and throughout our time there. No request or question was too much for her and we felt very looked after. The realm of information available on the guest area on the website helped us plan great days out and places to eat. We also had a caterer cook for us one evening, which was delicious. Highly recommend this villa for families or groups with children. We will certainly return!

The villa is very well set up for large groups, with accommodation appropriately set out to allow for multiple families with privacy. Villa caters for everything you need and the owner provides excellent customer service. It worked very well for us, having initially a large extended family group, followed by my son's friends. All had a great time and were impressed with the facilities.

Comme nous avions coutume de le faire chaque année avec mon épouse, malgré la dispersion des familles de nos 3 filles (Guyane, USA et Poitiers), j'ai réuni fin juillet de cette année, pendant 2 semaines, mes 9 petits-enfants et arrière-petite-fille dans cette fort agréable maison, idéalement adaptée pour 3 familles. La cadre, l'aménagement intérieur, le détail dans la décoration, les équipements de terrasse, jardin et piscine, enfin tout était fait pour rendre notre séjour à tous, petits et grands, parfaitement réussi. Oui, ce fut une très belle réunion de famille! Et je vous dis encore, chère Tracey, un très grand merci pour m'avoir permis de continuer à tisser ces liens familiaux auxquels nous tenions tant avec ma regrettée Suzy.

Nous avons passer une superbe semaine a Acabanes. On a beaucoup utilisé la piscine chauffée, surtout les enfants. Merci tracey pour tout votre aide.

Acabanes was a really impressive luxury holiday home set in the beautiful countryside of the Dordogne. As a family of 12 members over three generations Acabanes provided plenty of space for all of us to spend time together or have our own space. The heated pool was used everyday, rain or shine and we even managed a full family bike ride to a local vineyard! The garden and terrace were fantastic and we spent many an evening admiring the view whilst drinking delicious local red wine. Matthew and Katie catered for us one night which was a real treat. Tracey the owner of Acabanes was extremely helpful in recommending local places to visit and restaurants. A fantastic location and wonderful family holiday. Thank you.
