Frechou vacation rentals

Our host, Frederique was so kind and helpful. From the time we first booked the gite she provided us with suggestions to enhance our stay, such as the fun Bandas festival in nearby Condom. Upon arrival we were delighted to discover that the views from the property are even more lovely than the photos on the listing suggest. The gite was in perfect order and it was obvious that it had been properly refreshed prior to check-in. The very generous welcome package that is provided by Frederique and Stephane is way beyond the usual...all of the basics were in place for us and there was also an unexpected selection of gourmet quality local products. (To top things off, Frederique surprised us with a lovely decoration in her basket to acknowledge us as her first Canadian guests. ) The gite itself is modern and comfortable inside, with nice furniture, comfortable beds and reliable plumbing. The weather during our visit was too cold for swimming, yet the pool was always kept crystal clean. Condom and Nerac are both an easy drive from the property and the area abounds with pretty and unique villages that are all worth a visit. Our hosts actively work with their farming neighbours and participate in local associations in nearby Moncrabeau, and so Frederique was able to teach us much about the surrounding community. This greatly enriched our stay. If you are looking for a quiet and comfortable vacation in a beautiful part of rural France, then don't hesitate to stay here.

I just spent 11 weeks in this wonderful house, enjoying the fantastic, and very private swimming pool and spacious house/yard/garden. I could not have asked for a better stay. The hosts Francoise and Serge are charming, attentive and responsive. They regularly checked in with me to ensure all was well, and performed yard and pool maintenance throughout my long stay. The house is very comfortable and provisioned with everything you could need for your vacation there. The beds and linens were super comfortable (important to me), and I could not get enough of the views from every aspect. Lavardac is a small and charming village, with 2 boulangeries/patisseries, a cafe, pharmacies,, i was a happy attendee at the weekly Lavardac marche, as well as the nearby Nerac marche. Nerac is 7 minutes drive from Lavardac, a larger town with restaurants, shopping, and lots of historical charm. So all amenities you might need are close by. This property is within easy striking distance of an embarrassment of riches as far as beautiful villages and towns in the Lot Garonne (a few not to be missed are Agen, Pujols, Condom, Vianne, Villeneuve Sur Lot) and of course Bordeaux and Toulouse. Last but not least, the swimming pool…my refuge during the heat, and lying in the shade of the gorgeous Magnolia tree. It was all pretty magical. I am forever greatful to Francoise and Serge that I was able to call this place home for 3 months.
