Stunning property in a gorgeous little village

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful property. Madame Rodiere welcomed us on arrival and was very helpful with information on restaurants in the area. The property had been beautifully renovated and everything we needed was provided. The rooms were large and very comfortable and all in all it was a peaceful and very pleasant stay.

Hochsommer in schöner Umgebung

Wir haben eine wunderschöne Woche in dem großen, sehr gut ausgestatteten Ferienhaus in traumhafter Umgebung verbracht. Das Grundstück ist schön und bietet viel Platz z. B. zum Federballspielen, für Liegestühle und einen Sitzplatz zum Essen. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett, hilfsbereit und immer ansprechbar. Wir würden gerne noch einmal wiederkommen!

Super break

We booked this property for 3 nights whilst attending a wedding in the area. Everything about it was amazing. A beautiful converted building with fantastic attention to detail with the interior design. Definitely not your run of the mill basic rental property. It really was stunning. Very well equipped with all modern conveniences you could need. Beds were comfortable and outside space was lovely too. Owners were friendly and prompt in responding to any queries. Would highly recommend.

Parfait!

This is just the perfect gite. Spacious, beautifully decorated and full of thoughtful little touches. Arriving after a twelve hour drive in the pouring rain, just days after a heatwave had hit the area, we weren't in the best of moods, but the gite lifted our spirits no end. It was just myself and my fiancé with our nine year old daughter so we had plenty of space to relax in. It really felt like home with the generous number of appliances and utensils plus all the little essentials (soap, laundry liquid, black pepper, sugar, bin bags, kitchen roll, vegetable oil etc etc) I'd forgotten to buy at the intermarche as I'd rushed around five minutes before it closed. Once the rain cleared, we ventured into the beautiful garden area to relax. We met Quitterie who was hugely welcoming and who forgave my poor French and gave lots of helpful advice (thankfully I'm good at listening in French!) Le Tourne has a fabulous bakery within easy reach for the daily pain au chocolate and baguette purchase and the intermarche is minutes away by car for barbecue and wine essentials. It's a great location for wine Country, although be warned the traffic on the route to Arcachon is troublesome - particularly when you drive it four out of seven days (the joys of having a nine year old in tow!) All in all we loved it and wished we had stayed longer. We will no doubt be back soon. Merci pour votre hospitalitie, Quitterie

One of the nicest rentals we've ever enjoyed

Beautiful, well-equipped and quiet. This restored building was perfect for our family of five, including three young children. Our favourite feature is the spacious enclosed courtyard where our kids could play safely. The owners were friendly and helpful. Would absolutely return!

Fabulous stone house

This is a beautiful heritage property and the owner has provided everything you could need as far as kitchen utensils, dishes, many supplies, etc. The owner lives at the other end of the beautiful garden surrounded by stone walls so noise considerations would not make it a “party” house. Great for little kids. Loved the owners and the house.

Séjour très agréable dans cette très belle longere bordelaise à quelques minutes à peine de Bordeaux

Maison très agréable dans un cadre très reposant. La maison est tres propre et on y retrouve un équipement très complet pour profiter pleinement d’un peu de repos tout en étant très proche de la très agréable ville de Bordeaux. Les propriétaires sont charmants, disponibles si besoin tout en étant très discrets. Nous recommandons vivement cette adresse où nous reviendrons sans aucun doute.

Delightful cottage on the fringe of Bordeaux

A lovely cosy cottage that has all modern features. Our hosts Didierre and Alain were warm and welcoming. Centrally located to major wineries and the lovely medieval towns of St Emillion and Cadillac. Bordeaux in the autumn (fall) is absolutely beautiful. If we were visiting this area again we would love to return and stay.

Delightful Historic French Farmhouse

My husband and I, celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary, chose this Bordeaux Stone French Farmhouse for the last of four areas in France to visit. We were definitely not disappointed. We were greeted by Quitterie who walked us through the very spacious 2 story property that included all the comforts that we would enjoy at our own home in the USA - First floor included a well stocked kitchen with stove/oven, dishwasher, cooking and dining ware, adjoining breakfast nook, laundry room and a separate toilet facility, a spacious living room with a massive stone chimney fireplace that spanned upward to second floor ceiling that would be welcoming during a cold weather visit, comfortable seating and an adjoining dining area all opening to a lovely walled shaded lawn sitting area outside. The Second floor included a loft queen bedroom overlooking the living room and two additional bedrooms (one twin and one queen) down the hall, a tub/ shower bathroom with vanity/basin area and a separate toilette. The location allowed us to enjoy walks down a fairly quiet road in the early mornings and evenings, drive to enjoy old French Architecture, vineyard after vineyard, and an Abbey built in the 11th Century that is under restoration. We would certainly recommend this property to all of our friends and would enjoy returning if the opportunity ever arises. Quitterie and her husband with their predominantly French language were able to adequately communicate with my husband and I with our predominantly English language in order to make our stay a success.

The perfect place to spend time in Bordeaux

This is a very extensive gite, with a fully equipped kitchen and breakfast area as well as a large living space with a solid wooden table, and room to dine or lounge outside. A very characterful conversion in an idyllic rural setting, we found this the perfect place to experience Bordeaux for the first time, and so much more relaxing than being cooped up in a hotel room. We had bikes with us and were able to store them very conveniently and securely. For two it was positively palatial and we would return with friends or relations should the opportunity arise. There is only one bathroom, albeit a very good one, but there is a downstairs loo as well. The two bedrooms are very comfy and have plenty of storage. The third double bed is situated on a large gallery above the living space but can be easily screened off. The owners are very friendly and there is really nothing missing. There is even an organic vineyard just up the road! We would recommend this gite without hesitation. Merci Quitterie et Alain!

This is a beautiful property in an idyllic setting.

Our family party of 5 adults had a fantastic stay in this beautiful barn conversion. There was plenty of space for us all in the hottest of weeks which saw us staying indoors far more than we would usually. But the space was so well equipped for us to cook and relax that it made it a pleasure. Our hosts were remarkably friendly and had gone to great lengths to ensure our comfort, including purchasing a new garden parasol on account of the very high temperatures. The house itself is also spotlessly clean. Bordeaux is in easy reach and we spent a wonderful day there, having parked and caught the tram. We sampled local wines including the Clairet which was new to us and rode the wonderful cycle path between Créon and Sauveterre. All in all the barn at le Mesnil was perfect for our family holiday.

Schönes Ferienhaus in unmittelbarer Nähe zu Bordeaux

Wir haben in diesem schönen Ferienhaus unseren dreiwöchigen Sommerurlaub verbracht. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Wir hatten dort mit drei Personen mehr als genügend Platz. Der Garten ist sehr gepflegt, schön angelegt und lädt förmlich zum Entspannen ein. Das Haus ist ruhig gelegen und wer dies mag, ist dort auch ausgesprochen gut aufgehoben. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und herzlich. Sie haben uns mit vielen Tipps über Sehenswürdigkeiten in der näheren Umgebung versorgt. Wir fühlten uns dort von Anfang an richtig wohl und gut von Ihnen aufgenommen. Supermarkt, Boulangerie sowie die ansässigen Restaurants sind ohne Probleme gut (auch zu Fuß) zu erreichen. An Höhepunkten in der näheren Umgebung mangelt es nicht. Bordeaux ist mit dem Auto nur 20 Minuten entfernt und ein Ausflug zum nahen Atlantik lohnt sich in jedem Fall. Wir würden jederzeit dort wieder Urlaub machen und das Wegfahren ist uns auch nach 3 Wochen nicht so einfach gefallen. Vielen Dank oder besser merci beaucoup nochmal für alles an die Familie Rodiere und wir kommen gerne wieder.

Really cosy house well located for cycling

Great hosts, a really cosy house. In winter the fire is lovely. In summer the garden great. Location good for cycling. All we needed to cook in was there. We stayed as a 2 - might be a bit squashy if 6. And tricky as one bedroom on a mezzanine which you have to pass to go up and down stairs.

The house has been beautifully decorated and is full of character.

Myself and my partner stayed here for a week whilst organising suppliers for our upcoming wedding. The property is a lot larger than the photos do justice and has been exceptionally well finished. The kitchen is well stocked with a dishwasher and convex hobs and a coffee machine. There is a lovely fireplace in the living room. Whilst it wasn't cold enough to warrant its use during our stay (26 degrees in October!) I would imagine it would create a lovely atmosphere. There is a bit garden space outside with tables and deckchairs to enjoy the sunshine and the bedrooms are all good sizes. The owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating. There is a supermarket five minutes away and the house is approx 35 minute drive from the airport. We would certainly stay here again 9/10

Magnifique maison très confortable et chaleureuse. Cuisine très bien équipée pour préparer des repas après une longue de journée de visites. L'approvisionnement se fait facilement dans les environs et de façon très agréable surtout dans les marchés de village. Superbe cour intérieure pour prendre le petit déjeuner ou savourer les bons vins de la région ! Les hôtes nous ont donné beaucoup de bonnes suggestions de restaurants et d'information pour se rendre facilement à Bordeaux. Séjour mémorable ! Carole D. et amis Montréal, Canada

Leben wie Gott in Frankreich!

Mit Geschmack u. viel Liebe zum Detail wurde die Einrichtung auf viel Platz zusammengestellt; die Küche ist komplett u. reichlich bestückt, so dass nicht nach jeder Mahlzeit abgewaschen werden muss; Selbstverpflegung wird durch Vorhandensein aller gängiger Gerätschaften leicht gemacht. Intermarché 1.2 km entfernt. Bis Bordeaux 20` mit dem Auto, um alle Chateaus "abzuarbeiten" müssen mehrere Urlaube investiert werden. Das Anwesen mit Haupthaus (offenbar früheres Wein-Chateau) und dem Vermietungsobjekt liegt auf einer Anhöhe mit herrlichem Blick ins Tal der Garonne. Für Naturliebhaber u. Bewegungs-Begeisterte ebenso attraktiv wie für Rückzugs-Bedürftige, die unter den Akazien vor der Tür dicke Wälzer lesen wollen. Im Inserat ist nichts übertrieben. Wegen der Treppe zum Obgeschoss nicht geeignet für Mobilitätseingeschränkte u. für Kleinkinder bis ca 6 J. Ein großes Kompliment geht vor allem an die liebenswürdigen u. hilfsbereiten Gastgeber!
