From the word go everything about our stay was perfect. Communication prior to and post booking (with lots of questions from me) was exceptional with Sara going above and beyond to ensure our stay was as stress free as possible. Her directions from the airports (both Rodez and Toulouse) were spot on.
My brief was to find a large holiday Gite in the South of France to celebrate my father's 70th and sister's 40th birthday. The party consisted of 10 adults, 3 children, a toddler and a baby. I really struggled to find a property suitable for such a large party - then I came across this.
Having viewed the pics on this site and having been sent the floor plan by Sara, I was confident that there was enough room here for us all - without being in each other's pockets. I did have concerns about enough space for us all to dine together alfresco, BUT when we arrived, we were blown away at how big this place is - both inside and out. The outside space was exceptional with the choice of two dining areas - fully kitted out with tables and chairs with cushions & table cloths all provided. The swimming pool was beautiful and just a stones throw from the house. We spent the majority of our time here. There was also a toilet and shower room which was accessed from the outside, a large grassy area - we played lots of games of boules here and also a swing and slide set - perfect for the younger kids. The house exterior was safe, private and with room for our 4 cars.
The interior exceeded our expectation - large kitchens, sitting rooms, playroom for the kids, laundry room. They have thought of absolutely everything. Two cots sources for us!The kitchen is really well equipped, plastic glasses provided for the pool, and everything we needed to cook large family meals. Great Webber BBQ too.
Sara was super helpful with generous with info. There's a massive Leclerc supermarket in Gaillac about 17k from the house. Food heaven!
Sara arranged a tour and tasting in the local vineyard for us. €7.50 and we were there for about 4 hours. The wine was superb, the tour personal and best of all - it's 200m from the house. I also asked Sara to recommend a restaurant for a special birthday meal. Again nothing was too much trouble, she visited 4 places, sent me links and menus and then made the booking for me (with a special birthday dessert). I honestly can't recommend this property enough, spacious, well thought out, ideal for large families like ours. Great memories, thank you.
