Maison de Caractère

Incredible one-month stay. Impeccably clean, beautiful bedrooms with comfy beds, white linen and black-out shutters, fantastic indoor & outdoor spaces, tasteful furniture and wonderful gardens. Our host Sophie could not have done more for us. Whether it was finding us a professional Chef for 4 exquisite meals, making transport arrangements when we were in a pinch, or helping us recover lost sunglasses in St Emilion, she was super professional, charming and respectful. She and her place helped me make a dream come true.

Beautiful house with amazing pool, spotlessly clean, and incredibly well equipped. Sophie was responsive and helpful. Outdoor kitchen provided much needed shade!

Our group (7 adults, 7 kids and one teenager) had an absolutely wonderful two week stay in September 2023. The gite was even better than as shown in the pictures (if that's even possible) and quickly became our oasis for the trip. The large outdoor living space and fireplace were absolutely perfect in the mid-September weather, and the gite had everything needed for a great stay (and some wonderfully creative meals using produce from the many nearby local markets). Sophie, our host was absolutely lovely, easy to deal with and full of knowledge about the area. The nearby village of Mongauzy was a great early morning stop for breakfast pastries and our daily bread, or for a late afternoon aperitif at the local resto-bar. The gite was well located as a base to explore the beautiful bastide towns and castles in the area, including the town of La Reole (and its beautiful Saturday market) and to take longer day trips to Bordeaux & the wine country, the Dordogne, and beyond. Overall, a thoroughly excellent experience, that we wholeheartedly recommend, and a truly memorable vacation.

We had an amazing holiday! The house is brilliant- spacious with all the facilities needed for our family. The kitchens- both inside and outside are very well equipped with high quality fittings. We used the BBQ and pizza oven several times! The swimming pool was perfect for our children- my grandkids loved it! The spaces in the house both indoors and outside were great for the family to get together and chill out. We all had a relaxing time- walking through the fields of vines, visiting the local towns and villages and meeting the locals. The neighbours were lovely and offered us fresh vegetables from their garden. All in all a great holiday and Sophie is a caring and thoughtful hostess- thank you

The property is absolutely stunning. The decor is really tasteful. The location is perfect (very quiet and peaceful, yet only a short drive to bakeries and supermarkets). The kitchen inside the house has all the utensils and appliances you could possibly need. And then all of these utensils and appliances are fully replicated in the outdoors kitchen, which makes life very easy (that is where we spent most of our time). The pool is lovely, south-facing and with plenty of sunloungers for everyone (I loved the fact that it was a saltwater pool too, rather than chlorinated). All the (very spacious) rooms were beautifully furnished and decorated. As well as the swimming pool, we also enjoyed playing around the table tennis table and the pool table. There are some nice walks to be done through the vineyards just above the house with great views of the surrounding countryside. Overall a fantastic experience and we would love to return.
