About this property

Lovely spacious house, sleeps 14 guests, private saline pool, close to lake

Totally detached and with great views around you, the house will comfortably sleep fourteen people, configured to accommodate eight adults and older children (mid/late teens up), six children up to mid-teens, plus at least two little ones in cots. Two cots will be provided at the property.

All you need to do is bring yourselves, your clothes and toothbrushes, and pretty much everything else you could need will be available at the house, including everything needed for babies and children. There is a wide selection of books, games, outdoor toys, and sports equipment, as well as two cots available on request, sterilizers, nappy bins, changing mats, baby baths, etc., and all the various beakers, baby plates and cutlery, similar for toddlers, and plenty of spare linen for the cots in case of accidents, as well as a first aid kit and basic medicines in a locked cabinet.

The house is set in approximately 2.5 acres of grounds, with fantastic views over the valley. There is a lovely, 10 x 5-metre saline system swimming pool with Roman steps - so suitable for small children - and a huge terrace surrounding it, alarmed for safety. Beside the pool is a lovely pool house with a wet room (shower / sink / toilet) and summer kitchen (with fridge, sink, cutlery, glasses and outdoor furniture like loungers etc).

Surrounding two sides of the house is a large decked area with a gas barbeque and an outdoor dining table facing the pool. To take advantage of the views, a pretty garden seat is positioned in the middle of the other elevation. There is also a vast balcony accessed from double doors in each of the two upstairs bedrooms, with gorgeous views over the valley, a table, and four chairs, lovely for early morning coffee or an aperitif in the evening. Between the pool-house and the house is a good-sized lawn, ideal for short tennis, or other games, the equipment for all of which are provided.

The kitchen is fully-fitted and equipped to an excellent standard, so if you enjoy cooking, you will be able to go wild!

In all, it is all designed to make travelling with your children as stress-free and fun as possible.

Great weekend at Brossac
Beautifull clean house, fully equiped, we had a great weekend at Le Ramard. Instructions was very clear, autonomous check in and on time checkout. Just the barbecue was not working, the gas pressure was too low to cook meat, so we were not able to use it. We recommend, and we will probably go back one day.

Fabulous week in a beautiful home
We had a fabulous time in Brossac. The house was beautiful and very well maintained. The host had equipped it with everything you could possibly need, travel adapters, games, inflatables for the pool... the outside space was really lovely. Our dog loved exploring in the garden and we had a great time relaxing by the pool which was really pleasant to swim in. The location is great - there is a Spar only a short walk away in the village as well as a friendly restaurant, butcher's and bakery. There is also another restaurant a few minutes walk away by the lake. The only way the house could be improved further would be by having air con installed because it gets hot during July/August, but there are fans in every room and shutters on all the windows to keep the heat out. Anne, the owner was fantastic. She kept in regular touch with us from the moment of booking and provided lots of useful information. The 'gites fairy' who looks after the property in France was also lovely. She left us lots of goodies in the house on arrival - food, coffee, fresh bread and bubbly! I would definitely return!

Superb family holiday villa with all you need
We stayed at the villa with the whole family: 7 adults and 7 children. There was ample room for everyone, a brilliant open plan kitchen/dining area, balcony for breakfasts and sundowners and a grown-up sitting room for a haven of peace. The salt water pool was amazing, the children's swimming came on leaps and bounds and it was a relief when the mercury hit 38 degrees! The villa is close to some lovely French towns and villages with weekly markets, and not far from Bordeaux. Lots of caves selling pineau, cognac and wine nearby too.

Fantastic holiday at a wonderful property
We had a great holiday at this wonderful property. There were 3 families, with lots of children and the house catered for us all. Spectacular views, amazing sunsets, and a lovely location. The house was spotlessly clean, stocked with everything you can think of and the children absolutely loved the pool.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this area when I first came to visit friends who had moved here from the UK in 2003, and my children and I have visited every year at least once a year ever since. When I first saw this house, it was only partly-built, and the builder had run out of money, but the views were so spectacular, I couldn't resist it. It's been a real labour of love, and now it is finished it needs to be enjoyed!
