About this property

Aux Jumeleaux: family friendly home with swimming pool and bordering vineyard

This holiday home was renovated in 2017/18. We plan to develop the property and grounds further over time but are thrilled with our "home from home." It offers privacy, peace and tranquility, beautiful scenery, greenery and is situated in an area with plenty of sunshine and good weather for the swimming pool to be enjoyed. The historical town of Duras is within 10 minutes drive from the house and the beautiful city of Bergerac is a 30 minute drive away.

The house itself has an open plan layout, the high ceilings give a great sense of space and the design of the house allows the living areas to remain cool in warm weather.

The kitchen/diner is fully equipped.

Several sets of french doors allow easy access to the alfresco dining area and patio/poolside. The swimming pool is fenced with a security gate. There are sun-loungers stored in the garage for guests to use.

There are pool inflatables; a cricket set; rounders set; badmington set; boules set; footballs; swingball; darts board; various toys; colouring sets and some board games; either kept in the garage or in the house.

A travel cot with mattress and bedding are available for use as well as a portable "high chair" that can be strapped to any dining room or outdoor dining chair as well as a traditional high chair.

There are reading books, DVDs and a DVD player in the house. We have connected the television to a UK Sky box for freeview/basic Sky TV . There is WIFI for viewing programmes online.

All parts of the property are open to guests except for the garage outbuilding and some storage cupboards in the pool house/shed which are locked.

The historical town of Duras has a beautiful Chateau that is worth a visit. There is a Thursday night market during the summer months, and pleasant cafes and restaurants in the town. Nearby towns and cities such as St Foy La Grande, Pinheuil, Bergerac, Marmande all have distinctive attractions of their own. There is a parc for children in Pinheuil, a "country park" type play area close to the canal in Marmande, and a park close to the river in St Foy La Grande. An indoor soft play area en route to Bergerac is also very popular.

Numerous local vineyards mean that there is a vast choice of wine tasting venues to visit, from the larger Cave de Berticot in Duras to more local establishments in close proximity to Saint Astier.

The village of Saint Astier has several British residents, our neighbours on both sides are local French families. The village is tranquil and quiet and the grounds around the house are spacious and green, there are fruitful vineyards and sunflowers in view in their seasons.

There are supermarkets conveniently located in Duras and Pinheuil, with smaller corner shops (Tabac/Boulangerie/post office/café-restaurant) in neighbouring villages e.g. Villeneuve de Duras, St Sernin, Loubes-Bernac.

Tennis courts may be hired from the Tennis club at St Sernin at a more affordable weekly rate rather than by paying per time.

A kids paradise
We spent two wonderful weeks here in July with our four children (4-9). The kids were entertained with the large swimming pool and play equipment in the sun and with table tennis in the rain. The house is beautifully decorated and we loved the different outdoor seating options. Thank you Nia and Glynn for the use of your house - we would thoroughly recommend.

TOP !
Une très belle maison, très bien équipée pour les familles avec enfants. Au coeur des vignes, très calme ! Merci pour les petites attentions à notre arrivée : le lit bébé installé, la table à langer et les cadeaux de bienvenue ! Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir!

Review of Aux Jumeleaux
We had a fabulous week at Aux Jumeleaux! It is a beautiful holiday home and very spacious, clean and well equipped. The location is very relaxing and peaceful with stunning views of vineyards and countryside all around. We were very impressed with the amazing garden and outdoor facilities. The swimming pool, play area, bikes and games room were a huge hit with the children and a delight for all of us. The pool was also a really great size. We really enjoyed exploring the local villages and markets. We loved Duras (just an 8 minute drive away), including the Chateau and Eymet was another favourite! Thank you so much Nia and Glyn for a wonderful week. We would love to visit again! The Gathercole family x

Fabulous, tranquil spot. Great family holiday.
We loved our stay at Nia and Glyn’s house. The setting is stunning - hard to capture with photos are the 360 degree views over vineyards and sunflower fields. So peaceful and relaxing - just the chirruping sound of crickets. The house is perfect for families - brilliantly equipped with so many games for outdoors and in. The table tennis was a great hit. Whilst really secluded (just a couple of neighbours), the house is really well situated for exploring the area. We enjoyed visits to Eymet, Saint-Emilion, Bergerac and the Château de Monbazillac as well as the lively marché nocturne in Duras. Always lovely to return to the sparkling and pristine pool and comfy loungers. We would highly recommend this lovely home.

Great holiday home and location
This was our second stay at the property and we enjoyed our stay very much. The villa is in a great location - there are plenty of places to visit and activities to do - and well equipped, with lovely garden, games room and pool. The fabulous pool proved to be a real hit with our children again!

The beautiful surrounding countryside which is particularly enchanting when nearby sunflowers are in bloom; the vineyard bordering the far end of the garden, the family sized swimming pool (10x5m) with secure fencing around it; these are all reasons we enjoy the garden and grounds of the property.
