Idyllic scenic comfortable house
Quatre Vents is a perfect destination for an idyllic summer break I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
We arrived as a spectacular sunset was in full swing and that was repeated on most nights. The house is high on a hill, it’s difficult to convey the extent of the panoramic views from the house and both terraces! When sitting by the pool you take it all in and that makes a perfect setting for relaxed summer living. We could have happily relaxed by the pool all holiday. In the afternoons we enjoyed BBQ’s and pizza nights at the bar by the pool which was wonderful.
The house itself was comfortable and spacious with good showers, a bath and comfortable beds. We enjoyed having outside tables on two terraces for meals to choose to be in the sun or shade at different times of day. The conservatory was useful with a table we ate at and played cards and other games. There was also table tennis and table football all well used by our family!
We didn’t manage all the outings we had planned, there is plenty to do in the region.
On our way we went to the Dune du Pilat near Bordeaux which is a stunning coastal area, a beach with a huge sand dune. we kayaked on the river Lot. We also hired bikes including a tandem and rode along the canal tow path, a beautiful setting shaded by an avenue of poplar trees. There are plenty of very ancient villages to stop at and enjoy. We shopped at several of the farmers’ markets and ate fresh fruit and veg. Steve is a responsive friendly host.
