  La Saga is absolutely beautiful. The house itself is full of character and charm but with all the comforts you would want / need for a relaxing holiday. The gardens around the house are also beautiful and really helped me to feel like I'd escaped hectic city life for a much needed peaceful holiday. I enjoyed spending many a day reading by the clean cool pool in the glorious sunshine. Aside from all the relaxing-sitting-lounging-reading, we also found things to do in the area, spending a day kayaking, visiting markets in nearby towns and even treating ourselves to a gorgeous meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant one evening! La Saga was clean and the bathrooms/kitchen were in excellent condition. I would absolutely recommend La Saga!

  A week with friends at La Saga was exactly what one would hope for. Idyllic is definitely the word. Such a peaceful location, perfect for relaxing, eating, drinking and if you can tear yourself away from the house, walking, and you are near pretty towns, markets and great restaurants. The photos tell you what you need to know; it's a magical retreat! Everything, including the fabulous pool is very well maintained. Rustic is the word, given this is an C18th house, and totally charming.

  Owner response: We are so pleased that you liked La Saga. Thanks for the review. It helps us get better and helps our future guests understand what we have to offer.

  La Saga is a traditional farmhouse which has been sympathetically modernised but still retains an abundance of character. The large pristine pool is a particular delight. It is situated in a secluded and tranquil position and yet the small local shop is only 10 - 15 minutes walk away which provides the main essentials. There is a Casino supermarket 10 minutes drive away. La Saga is an ideal location from which to explore this beautiful corner of France.

  Owner response: Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to place this review. I am sure that all who reach the site will be assisted,

  I enjoyed a delightful few days with friends at La Saga at the beginning of September this year. I just wish I could have stayed longer! It’s in a beautifully secluded and peaceful location, but also within easy reach of market towns, spectacular scenery and fabulous restaurants. The wonderful pool area was a perfect suntrap during the day, and there was plenty of room for ‘al fresco dining’ in the evening (or whatever the French equivalent is!). The property itself is full of ‘rustic charm’ and character, yet with all the latest modern amenities needed for a cosy, comfortable stay. The owners certainly know how to present a property to the highest order, and have a great eye for detail. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending La Saga. I certainly hope I get an opportunity to go there again in the near future! Paul Bacon

  Owner response: Many thanks Paul for taking the time and trouble to write the review. it is very helpful to us and potential clients. We can only agree with what you say!

  From: London, UK Who: 4 professional couples Why: Birthday weekend (wrong side of 30) Recommend to a friend/ family: Yes. 100% I really can't say just what a wonderful time was had by all over the long weekend we we're lucky enough to spend at La Saga. This old house transported us back to the romance of C.17th French life. The setting and character of the house and grounds is simply exquisite and it's clear to see that the stone-house itself has been sympathetically and most importantly lovingly restored with the integrity a building of this age deserves. We all felt privileged to spend time here and be a part of this building's life - even for a short time. Plus points: - Exceeded expectations - Fantastic, clean, modern bathrooms with all mod cons - WiFi - Owner's restaurants suggestions were spot on (Le Gindreu Michellin Star A MUST) - Pool and lots of indoor and outdoor games Negative points (trying hard): - There's a sticker of a lizard on one of the doors - Not enough candles or matches (we didn't have as non smokers) Will be re-booking to return in summer 2014 and am looking forward to it immensely already. Thank you La Saga.

  Owner response: Thanks for the review. Should we get 2 lizard stickers - so that you can't miss the fact that it is glass? We can only agree!

  La Saga lives up to its description in every way...and more. A fantastic spot - totally private and utterly peaceful. The house is well equipped, there was nothing more we needed and it was a real bonus to have UK TV downstairs AND in our bedroom since the evenings draw in quite early come September... The pool was terrific, well-maintained and surrounded by trees. Montgesty itself is well positioned, providing easy access to numerous beaux villages. Jeremy provided all of the support that needed - nothing was too much trouble. Altogether, a memorable holiday in a beautiful part of France. Gill Wilson

  Owner response: We are grateful for the feedback. We plan new developments each year. Our thanks to Jeremy our friend and Guardian of the house. Sue Peddie

  La Saga proved to be a wonderful place to spend our two week summer holiday, the house itself is lovely with a feel that you are welcome guests, not complete strangers. The pool being a important part of our holiday search criteria is a great size and in a great sunny spot, the test of the grounds do not disappoint with plenty of space to put up the badminton net or to play table tennis. The local area is also fun to explore, Le Lac Vert just outside Catus is ideal if you want to hire a pedelo or canoe, and there is a swimming area with a lifeguard on duty. We travelled down from Bergerac after flying in from Southampton , the journey time was an hour and a half and a very pleasant drive down. There also is a Michelin star Resturant in the town of Saint Medard which is well worth a visit especially if you are celebrating a special occasion, They even provide a superb children's meal. Overall I would highly recommend La Saga and we hope to return one day, especially if Sue and Ian are planning to renovate the tower, that I would love to see.

  Owner response: Plans are definitely in hand to renovate the pigeonnerie tower in the 2012/13 winter.It will be open to the roof with sweeping up lighting, also a large window overlooking the pool and gardens due to be installed.

  Wonderful time, the pictures do not do the property justice, lovely and peaceful, great pool, very well equipped and great quality. Sue and Ian were a pleasure to deal with also Jeremy (off site in France) was available if required. Very rural so a car is required, we ate out a couple of times but it was a joy to eat in as well.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: Hi John Many thanks for the positive Review. It is an essential tool of our marketing. We are very grateful - discount available for return visits! Best wishes. Sue

  What a lovely stay. This was my third holiday at this property and every time I look around and spot changes that the owners have made to make the home more comfortable. Of particular note, was the fabulous modernized bathrooms. We enjoyed hiking the area and, of course, the pool. The local villages and towns are lovely, provide outstanding dining and shopping and, for me, a quick run to Catus in the morning offered brilliantly fresh baked breads. Warning eating two loaves a day will damage any diet but it is worth it. Once here you don't want to leave and we'll be back! Al & Carol Horrigan Sarasota, Florida

  Owner response: Many thanks We hope you will return soon! Next years improvements will include a transformed pigeonerie!! Each year we aim to make a significant improvement to La Saga, it's good but we are always trying to make it better!

  La Saga is one of those places you wish you'll one day will be able to return to. It's a wonderful old roomy house, with a great big kitchen and two fantastic terrasses. The garden is huge, as is the delightful pool. There is lots to be seen and done in the area, but La Saga itself is so soothing that you'll find yourself just staying at home and relax often. We had a wonderful two weeks and would definitely love to come back some time!
