Holiday rentals near Château Venus

Came for a wedding in Bordeaux and this place was absolutely stunning and well worth the 10 rating - I would have given more than 10!!Jean was a friendly and attentive host but never bothered us in any way - he was the perfect host and we were so grateful to him. He even got up very early on our departure day to ensure we got off smoothly. Such a kind man. He even welcomed us with a bottle of local wine and some of his own (from the bees of course!) honey - and without exaggeration was the best honey I have ever tasted in my 74 years. I so wished they sold it in Wales.The house and pool were outstanding and we enjoyed every single minute of our stay. Sadly, a week was not long enough. Car parking was safe and very close to the house. The area around the house was stunning and a Carrefour Express was a couple of minutes away and bigger ones were in Creon 10 minutes away.We took away so many happy memories.Jean thank you so much!!!

We had a great stay here, staying locally for a christening. The house is so peaceful and tranquil amongst the vineyards and next to a small forest. It’s really well appointed with all of the bits and pieces we needed to make our stay comfortable. The kids loved the garden too! Highly recommended

This is a tastefully renovated, comfortable, and very well-appointed property set in exceedingly well-kept grounds. With the space inside and out, as well as the extremely well-kept pool, this made for an excellent holiday base for our family of two adults and two children (14 and 12 years); we were also staying when no other guests were present in the two additional available properties in the grounds. The excellent location was entirely free from any disturbance, whilst also being perfectly located to allow ready access to and exploration of the nearby wine areas of Sauternes, St-Emilion, Margaux, Pauillac, and St-Estèphe. The city of Bordeaux is a 25-30 minute drive away, and Arcachon and the Dune du Pilat are also within striking distance. Notably, Lionel was a kind and helpful host; always ready to offer advice and recommendations, while also ensuring that he did not disturb our family holiday. This property is highly recommended.

We had a fabulous holiday here in July. The house is lovely, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. With just 4 of us we had loads of space, it would be just as comfortable with a full house. The rooms were large and very clean, the beds very comfortable. They did keep the heat in at night and would benefit from fans to use in the summer. The bathrooms were spotless. We were a little wary of no wifi with 2 sons in tow, but they amused themselves with the Wii and French tele. And the pool of course, was a godsend! With temperatures in the high 30’s and up into the 40’s we spent a lot of time there. There were some teething problems with the pool but Guy was excellent and with help from his local friend had it sorted and back to lovely blue water quickly. One thing I would suggest are a couple more sun shades, in the afternoon there’s not a lot of shade by the pool. As it was so hot, we didn’t venture far and self catered most evening meals. So having a well equipped kitchen was perfect, a dishwasher, a big fridge with an ice maker and the pots you could ever need, made all the difference. We didn’t use the BBQ. There are lots of indoor and outdoor games to make use of too. I enjoyed looking through the photo book showing how the house was transformed from an old barn to its current use. The gardens are attractive and large, surrounded by sunflowers whilst we were there. Most evenings we sat out looking at the view over the valley and watching the stars as they appeared. It was so peaceful we didn’t want to leave. In the village there is a very good butchers and the bread is good from the boulangerie, plus a fairly well stocked corner shop. I enjoyed taking my paddleboard on the canal at the bottom of the hill very much. You could access the river, alongside the canal, without too much difficulty too. All in all, an excellent property with a lovely host. I would highly recommend staying here.
