Photos and Description of this Genissac holiday farmhouse
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 8

This large traditional secluded farmhouse, dating back to the 16th century, furnished with family antiques, 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 house is very comfortable, the kitchen is ideal for great cooking.

The 12 meters long swimming pool is surrounded by the vineyard and out of sight from the house.

The garden is full of rose trees, flowers and bushes. Several tables and benches are placed in secluded places allowing to have breakfast facing the morning sun or enjoy a drink in front of the different views or by the swimming pool looking at the ripening vines. Guests can read or listen to music in traditional deck chairs under the lime tree or swaying gently in the hammock placed in the orchard.

There are three lovely donkeys for the children to feed, a ping pong table, a sand pit, boules de pétanque and other gam

Scenic cycle track, built on a disused rail track, leading to the famous ruined medieval abbey of La Sauve passes very close (bicycles are available there for rent). Two tennis are available in Génissac; canoing or dining on the river Dordogne is a great fun. A 18 holes golf course is 10 miles away.

There are great restaurants in Saint-Emilion, Libourne and on the riverside of the Dordogne and the Garonne. A very lively food market takes place in the bastide of Libourne 3 times a week. Lots of wine testing are available in the vineyards of Pomerol, Saint-Emilion and the Medoc.

Beautiful country house

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....

Great week in the vineyards

Review Submitted: September 2, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
My family -which includes my grown children and my granddaughter who is 2 yrs old spent a wonderful week in this most rustic and most comfortable farm house. The area has so much to see - beaches, medieval towns and fabulous vineyards. the location of Genissac was perfect. We were able to go to wonderful Marches and have great dinners at the house. My son who is a chef found it very easy to cook. All the bedrooms were very roomy and decorated with wonderful antiques. I think the one who enjoyed the most was my granddaugther- running outside,feeding the donkeys, picking figs and plums off the trees. Everything was perfect!We will always remember our stay at the Genissac farm house.

Landhaus mit wunderschönem Gelände

Review Submitted: September 11, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
Im Sommer 2010 durften wir in diesem wunderschön gelegenen Haus zwei Ferienwochen verbringen. Das Gelände um das Haus herum ist phantastisch: Weinberge, Wälder, Obstbäume, Grill, wunderschön gelegener Pool, die 3 Esel auf ihrer riesengroßen Koppel, Hängematte zwischen den Bäumen,... Es gibt sowohl innen als auch außen sehr viel Platz. Das Haus ist liebevoll und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Zum Meer mit wunderschönen Stränden fährt man eine gute Stunde. Für Ausflüge in die Umgebung (Bordeaux, Dordogne, St.Emilion,...) ideal.
Wir haben uns richtig gut erholt!

Fantastic holiday with so much to do and see

Review Submitted: March 18, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
My husband, myself and our 3 children have stayed here twice and hope to come again this summer. There is just so much to do nearby - we canoed on the Dordogne, cycled along a disused railway track (with fab lunch), wandered around beautiful St Emilion and did plenty of wine tasting! The stunning Cap Ferret is a little over an hour's drive and offers beautiful beaches and boutique shopping. You drive past a water park on the way. The little village of Genissac has a shop to buy your fresh croissants and bread in the morning. There is also a very good local doctor. There really is something for everyone!

A perfect summer in France

Review Submitted: March 16, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
Our family and friends stayed in this beautiful historic house in the summer of 2007 & 2008, the accommodation is large, decorated and furnished in a relaxed and practical way, yet very stylish and quintessentially French.
There are extensive gardens with far-reaching views, a large pool and it is all surrounded by vines. The location is calm and private which allowed my eldest teenage son and friends to entertain themselves from dawn to dusk, without interfering with our enjoyment.

There are many activities nearby, we cycled on an old railway track through unspoilt countryside at Creon, canoed on the Dordogne and had a picnic at Pessac, tasted the finest wines in the caves of St.Emilion and ate in riverside restaurants on the banks of the river at Libourne after a busy morning at the market.

This is a place to return to year after year with plenty to do, or simply relax.
