A delightful property

sammyj Hampshire
Review Submitted: September 1, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had 2 weeks in the farmhouse and loved it. The property was very comfortable and the views spectacular. The property manager was exceedingly helpful and efficient. Our children loved the pool which was clean, well-maintained and a perfect temperature. My one suggestion would be to provide some portable fans as the bedrooms at night in the very hot weather were quite stuffy. A car is essential as the property is so rural. We enjoyed dining at nearby restaurants particularly the chateau in Chalais and the pizzeria in Brossac, and the nearby Intermarche supermarket was a godsend. We also enjoyed swimming at the local lakeside beaches and had a very pleasant day out in St Emilion visiting the vineyards and exploring the town. This property is highly recommended.

Picture Perfect

Watson 358 York
Review Submitted: July 13, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
The pictures are very good on this site, it truly is a beautiful place. We stayed at the Farmhouse with my sister and her family which was 4 adults and 3 children, the pool was brilliant, the farmhouse was a good size and very cool after the hot days. The children also played in the garden. Although there were people staying in the piegeonner neither party intruded on the other, and it does say on the site that the farmhouse is overlooked but this did not cause us any problems. The area we stayed was lovely, the sandy beaches were very tranquil we had gone just out of France's high season. Would recommend this property and will definately use again. Very well equipped kitchen. Thank you
