Ancient farmhouse in Bordeaux wine country

This large traditional secluded farmhouse, dating back to the 16th century, traditionally furnished, is set in eight acres of outstanding rolling countryside with vineyards, woods, donkey field and orchard. The 300 degrees sweeping views from all sides are pure Gainsborough with better weather. The 12 meters long swimming pool is surrounded by the vineyard and out of sight from the house. There are two donkeys for the children to feed. The famous wine making medieval village of Saint-Emilion is three miles away, the Dordogne valley and the huge Atlantic beaches are less than an hour away. Bordeaux and its airport, the Medoc wine chateaux are within easy reach (25 kilometers). Scenic cycletrack, built on a disused rail track, leading to the famous ruined medieval abbeyof La Sauve passes very close (bicycles are available there for rent). Many country walks among the vineyards and the chateaux of the beautiful Entre-Deux-Mers and along the Dordogne are possible.

Further details for the farmhouse in Gironde, France

What some of our guest have said about us : 'We stayed a the above listed property for two weeks. It is well located for sightseeing in the wine country, the Atlantic beaches and for day trips to the Dordogne Valley. The property is quiet and secluded with a great view. The swimming pool is in great shape. The kitchen is well equipped. The furnishings of the living room and bedrooms are comfortable with a few nice antiques. The renter is a pleasure to deal with. I recommend the property for a low key vacation with plenty of sightseeing available for the energetic. '

Beautiful country house

Astrid and Family, New Jersey, USA
Review Submitted: July 14, 2008, Date of stay: June, 2008

We rented this property for a week and I only have great things to say about it! The owner was extremely nice and incredibly responsive. The house and grounds were outstanding. We ate many a meal outside overlooking the vineyards and surrounded by a wonderful garden and landscape. The house was very private, well-maintained and had everything we needed and more including a fully equipped kitchen. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to experience a taste of the Southwest of France.

Owner's response:

What could I add to such a good review ! That the huge swimming pool is surrounded by the vineyards ? That one of the donkeys had a lovely baby this spring ? That there are lot of fruits in the orchard, beginning with the cherries in May, ending with the walnuts in October ? And that we are always more than happy to have guests from far away staying in our beloved house....
