Another lovely holiday!

Review Submitted: November 29, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Having stayed at Barou a few times, but never in the summer,we were thrilled.
Each season gives the house and garden a different feel.We were blessed with amazing weather and I don't know what we would have done without that lovely pool.
The privacy is second to none and the house lovely as ever.We took friends with us and had a job to prise them away.
The location is fantastic with an amazing choice of restaurants and the scenery is breathtaking.We lookforward to returning very soon.

An excellent stay in August with perfect weather. Such a tranquil and private retreat with wonderful views and great facilities inside and out including a large private swimming pool. It is only a short walk to all that the village offers. Great for couples. We look forward to returning.

Barou - Montagu de Quercy

nickmassey Devon - UK
Review Submitted: November 22, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2007
My wife and I were lucky enough to spend 2 weeks in Barou in mid September this year. What a paradise (particularly to wake up in such beautiful surroundings). The house has two bedrooms and is charmingly furnished, providing all the essentials that you need for a comfortable stay. The owners had provided a comprehensive list of how things worked (I really like this since it saves so much time and aggro)

The gardens are lovely and completely private and secluded. Since we really like eating outside, there are a couple of great options for starting or finishing the day in sun or shade.

Montagu de Quercy is a typical French village with all required amenities i.e. supermarket; restaurants & bars, post office etc. We spent some lovely days exploring the countryside and nearby towns. Whilst these are too numerous to mention, we particularly loved our trips to Montbazillac and some of the fine small 'caves' where we purchased splendid local wines.

Can't really think of any negatives - apart from the fact that our two weeks passed too quickly. Plus ca change eh.

I can really recommend Barou.
