Le Grindoux June 2010
We loved our time at Le Grindoux. We are a family of 4 with 2 very active boys aged 11 and 8 and arrived at Le Grindoux after a 27 hour flight from Australia to the UK, a night in each of London and Bordeaux and a drive from Bordeaux getting used to driving on the RHS of the road! Needless to say we were over the moon when we arrived and saw that the house was just as the photos depicted (without the use of wide angle lenses etc..) and just as described. The house was immaculate and the welcome pack of wines, fresh bread, foie gras, jam, cheeses, fresh fruit, ham was perfect. The information pack provided us with many great leads on where to go and what to do. We tried out the local restaurants, Casti Pizza (great thin based wood fired pizzas), made friends with the locals at the Bar where we had our morning coffee and evening aperitif, went to the local markets and cooked BBQs at the house, ate copius amounts of bread, cheeses, fresh salads dressed with walnut oil, fresh fruits (the cherries in particular) all washed down with local wines. The boys loved the space in the yard and kicked footballs around. We rode the bikes along the quiet roads nearby, walked in the early mornings, swam at the local pool, raided the boookshelves for the many books on France and soaked up the sun in the courtyard which seems perfectly positioned to capture morning and afternoon (and evening at that time of year) sun. This is a truly beautiful part of France.
The owners were very helpful answering all of our questions before the trip making sure we were looked after during our stay.
We have no hesitation in recommending the house to family and friends and are already planning ways in which we may return to Castillones and stay again at Le Grindoux.
