Our experiences started well with the owners answering all queries promptly on the property before we arrived. The property is lovely with the property owners being very friendly and welcoming. The property is well laid out and very well equipped with appliances. Unfortunately the weather was unusually cold during our stay and the property took a little while to warm up, but in the summertime and hot weather this place would be perfect. There is areas to sit and socialise outside. The area is beautifully quiet being in a rural village but there are some beautiful towns within 15minutes drive.

Bonjour Paul et merci de votre commentaire. Nous tentons de faire tout notre possible pour que nos locataires repartent avec un beau souvenir de notre région et surtout de notre maison. Nous ne sommes pas maitre du temps qu'il peut faire mais nous espérons vous revoir très vite ! La satisfaction client est notrepriorité ! A bientot. Odile et J.Marie
This vacation house has everything you'd ever want for a relaxing escape to the South-West of France. The house is as clean as a whistle, and has everything you could possibly need. And if you were to miss anything, you can always ask the owners that live in the other beautiful house on the property.
Because they knew we were travelling with our 2-year-old daughter, they provided a childproof high chair, childfriendly cutlery and a travel bed for her to sleep in. The rooms are very spacious and equiped with linen and bath towels, and we even received a warm welcome basket!
The owner is always close-by if you need anything. At first we thought this was to check up on us, but we couldn't have been more wrong. He and his wife are incredibly friendly and helpful!
Next to the vacation house there's a barn with a hottub, fitness equipment, pingpong table, a boxing ball, barbecue set, some toys for little ones and even cute little plastic chairs for them to sit on.
There isn't much in the direct neighborhood, but then again: who needs anything when you have a fully equiped kitchen, a pool, a beautiful green garden and a hot tub?
