Grand Parc-Paul Doumer vacation rentals

We had a fantastic three night stay. Host and person who met us upon arrival to hand over keys were communicative and knowledgeable about the area! Fantastic location with easy access to public transportation, tourist info, city highlights, many restaurants, etc. Fans provided were a lifesaver in July heat wav, and evenings in the terrace among the rooftops were absolutely perfect. Would highly recommend to families or groups of adults traveling together!

My husband and I enthusiastically recommend a stay at this Bordeaux townhouse. Aude-Marie was an extraordinary host, taking about an hour to introduce us to the features of the house, and most importantly giving us invaluable information on Bordeaux, complete with annotated maps. Awesome! The neighborhood seemed extremely safe, with lots of families. The home was only a block from the gorgeous public garden. The townhouse was built in the late 1800s, and is obviously a portion of what was once a grand mansion. Your hosts have lovingly crafted a three bedroom dwelling within the restrictions of the old building. As noted in other reviews, it is on three high-ceilinged levels, connected by a lovely spiral staircase. Take note if you have mobility issues or if this would be an issue for children in your group. As noted in other reviews, each toilet is in a separate little room of its own. The one for which it's impossible to shut the door was not a problem for us, as it opens into a small hallway of which the doors can be shut at either end. I loved the hosts' aesthetic, mixing the bones of the old house with eclectic furnishings. Great modern bath fittings, lovely bedding, art on the walls reflecting the best of Bordeaux. The hosts even arranged neighborhood parking for us for a small fee.

Bérénice was a great host communicator and kept up with our schedule. Close to all major cité attractions and museums. Don’t miss Cité du Vin!

Great location in the Chartron area. Lots of great shipping and restaurants, close to the river and the tram. 3 flights of stairs but that was disclosed and was really not a problem. One of the AC units wasn't working and one started leaking when we were getting ready to leave but the apartment was very comfortable and very well equipped. Jean was a great host who communicated well and got us everything we needed. He has a website that links to everything that the Chartron and Bordeaux has to offer. Would definitely stay there again when we are in Bordeaux next time.

Our group of two families 9, in total, enjoyed our stay at Maison Olivio. We had plenty of space to enjoy relaxing without being on top of each other. The quiet neighborhood made us feel like locals instead of tourists. We enjoyed going to all the little shops on the nearby street to get ingredients for meals we cooked at the home. Though the neighborhood is quiet it is also convenient to things to do. The wine tour organized by Sarah at Gabriela's suggestion was fabulous! We hesitate to leave such a glowing review because if we want to return we might not be able to secure a booking 😊 You will not be disappointed be this property!

The house is much more spacious than it looks on the photos. Corinne is an excellent host and speaks very good English. The backyard is very pretty and a life-saver in the summer heat. Lots of towels, and comfy linens provided. Pretty hot in the attic-rooms, and be sure to have a mosquito spray! The house is featured in French interiour designer magazines, it is exciting to explore all the clever solutions and querky pieces that has been picked up from around the world. It takes around 20-25 mins to walk to the city centre (Uber takes 7-8 mins and costs only 6-7€), but also some excellent restaurants close by, for instance Italian restaurant Le Murano (3 in Bordeaux (!), make sure you go to the closest which has a beautiful garden), and O P’tit Jardin with great salads and a garden. I would definitely recommend the house, it felt like returning to an oasis after exploring the city. Will go back for sure!
