Country Cottage / Gite - ST SULPICE DE FALEYRENSHouse with garden

This house was perfect for our stay, providing a relaxing retreat in the middle of a beautiful vineyard. The location is incredible to enjoy everything on offer in Saint Emilion and Bordeaux. We will definitely look to stay again. Thanks

Our family of 5 truly enjoyed our stay. Surrounded by beautiful vineyards & views, easy access to the amazing towns of St. Émilion, Libourne and the ability to do day trips to other parts of Bordeaux. Philippe was so generous with his recommendations (the Dune du Pilat was amazing, as was our lunch at Caffe Cuisine in nearby Branne) and we enjoyed the bottle of wine he set aside for us to enjoy during our stay. Thank you, Philippe, for a very special stay.

a nice house with all available and perfect with the swimmingpool !

This cute three bedroom two bath homes is complete with a fully supplied modern kitchen. The living room is large the dining table seats 6...as does another outside table on the deck. There is a large above ground pool, complete with rafts. The beds are comfortable. Sheets and towels are supplied. There is no AC but Philippe kindly supplied us with small fans. He was the best host. He allowed us flexibility with arrival time and greeted us the following morning. He not only runs the vineyard on which the house sits but he also is athletic in his free time. We enjoyed the delicious red wine that he gave us and may even order some to be shipped to us. I love the proximity to Saint Emilion where we often dined but Philippe also mentioned other places close by. If back in the region, we hope to stay here then. Highly recommended

This was our second stay with Philippe and it was just as great as our first visit. The house was perfect again and we spent every afternoon in the pool! Would throughly recommend Philippe’s lovely property!

Spent two weeks at Philippe's wonderful property together with my family and my parents. Well equipped house with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The layout of the property was ideal for us - my parents took the double room and bathroom on the ground floor leaving the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom for us. Although we only have one daughter, the kids room is very large and with 4 single beds ideal for a larger family. We stayed during a hot spell so the pool was very welcome! The house is located in Philippe's vineyard and is quite remote, so very quiet, but the local village Branne has some smaller shops for daily essentials, and there are large hyper marches in Libourne (Carrefour, 20 minutes) or Saint Magne de Castillon (E Leclerc, 15 minutes) for everything else. Saint Emilion is also less than 15 minutes away, and worth a visit, as are many of the vineyards in the neighbourhood. Bordeaux itself is reachable in less than an hour and the Cite du Vin museum is a good experience for adults and children alike. Philippe was the ideal host and answered all of our questions, dropping by occasionally (he works at the vineyard, but his presence isn't noticeable). He gave us an interesting tour of his winemaking facilities, and his wine is definitely worth a try!

Beautiful location in the heart of St Emilion wine country. Could not have been happier with the property.

We stayed at this lovely home for 2 months (June/July 2019). Photos are very accurate. The home is spacious and comfortable. The pool was a delight especially on the warm summer days. The location is perfect to use for exploring the Bordeaux region, particularly with Saint-Emilion a few minutes drive from the home. You will definitely need a car as it is at least 35 minutes walking to the nearest small village for bakery, shops, restaurants. You can easily hike through the vineyards and we did this many times. Philippe is a kind owner who welcomed us and our small yorkie dog. He's a winemaker producing small batches of Grand Cru. He showed us his production facilities on site in the building next door which are quite impressive. Philippe kindly took care of our requests (e.g. for the use of fans when the temperature spiked to over 100 degrees). He would always respond to us, but it could take a few hours to sometime up to a full day depending upon his schedule. The home is set amongst the vineyards of a working winery so in the evenings it is private and serene. During the day, it is an operating farm so depending upon the farm needs there could be workers on site in the vineyards, tending to the vines by hand or with the various tractors and other farm equipment. We did experience a couple of minor issues, as would be expected for such a long stay: -- The WIFI is not so reliable in the countryside, particularly if any sort of poor weather occurs. Usually within a few hours it would be restored. -- The home really needed a better cleaning prior to our arrival, as we had to clean for a couple of hours the first day to dust surfaces, remove a lot of cobwebs, and prepare the beds (linens provided but none of the beds were made up). Overall, it was a great stay and we recommend this lovely place.
