My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this impeccable winery/ farmhouse. Andrea, the host, was proactive with communication and hands-on when we arrived. The cottage in which we stayed was well appointed and pristine; the grounds and pool very serene; and our wine tasting was informative and delectable. Would love to stay again. Thank you for a great experience.
Everything was what I hoped for. Andrea and her father were incredible hosts. We wanted a quaint and quiet French countryside experience and it’s exactly what we got. Just outside of Bordeaux and gave us the best of both worlds.

An amazing gite, well equipped and spacious. Comfortable bed which is often not the case!
Great pool.
Beautiful surroundings of the vineyard and woods.
Hosts really knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations for day trips, plus wine tasting and vineyard tour.
The property was a serene spot after visiting the bustling city of Bordeaux. The hosts (who live on the property) were extremely friendly and welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything setup for our infant son, gave many great local recommendations and lead us through a wine tasting. I would stay here again and recommend anyone else to do the same :)
We had a great stay with our 2 daughters (2&4). The house was really clean and wall equipped (incl a nespresso coffee machine). The owners are very friendly and extremely helpful. We had dinner at nice spots thanks to all their tips. We would really recommend a stay and love to visit again!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The Gîte was not only beautiful but also very well equipped with everything we needed. The owner was incredibly welcoming, even sitting with us to share thoughtful recommendations for things to see and do in the area. Thanks to their advice, we discovered places we might have otherwise missed. It made our trip extra special.This was truly a relaxing and enjoyable experience, and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

Wonderful family experience staying at the Chateau la Gontrie while enjoying the Wales vs Fiji game in nearby Bordeaux. Location is breathtaking. Wonderful hosts - Jean Louis’s wine tour of his property is extremely informative. We enjoyed our morning bike rides to the nearby village for croissants and coffee. Memorable experience and Wales won!
We had a great 2 night stay and wished we had a few more days to spend here. We loved the tour of the vineyards and learning about the old school wine production, enjoyed the tastings and learning about clairet! and we thoroughly enjoyed hearing all the stories.
The property was clean, kitchen was well appointed, check in and check out was smooth. There are a number of units on the propertyand would be a great base for large family gatherings.
With only a couple days in the area, we were grateful for all the suggestions. We highly recommend checking out Pizzella in Cambes for artisanal pizza along the Garonne River :)
Spacious and clean, Rural feel but close to Bordeaux and St Emilion
Very nice and clean place, kitchen well stocked. We liked the vineyards nearby and visited St Emilion - only about a 40 minute ride. We liked St Emilion very much
We went on the vineyard tour and they gave us a bottle of wine included in the stay. The owners are right next door and very friendly and helpful. it was a very relaxing place to stay. Grocery stores are nearby of Super U and Carrefour. Bordeaux downtown is only about 15-20 minutes away.
we left via dropping our rental car off at Bordeaux St Jean train station and took high speed train to Paris
Andrea greeted us on our arrival and showed us around the house and property, giving a thorough explanation of everything. A bottle of red wine was left for us on the table and we were kindly offered pasta which we declined as we had eaten. Jean-Louise came the next morning and ran through all the places to see in the area, leaving us with a mud map and brochures. A great help. The hospitality continued through to the last day. We recommend doing the wine tour with Jean-Louise. The property is well equipped in the kitchen and bathrooms. We appreciated having a dishwasher and washing machine. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it if you like to stay out of the city a bit. Thanks for your hospitality.
Es war ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt mit sehr herzlichen Gastgebern. Eine Weinprobe, Kräuter und Obst stets aus dem schönen Garten, einer Auswahl an kostenlosen Mountainbikes jeglicher Größe und einem tollem großen Pool. Weite Außenanlage mit Tischtennis und mehr. Separater, uneinsehbarer, schöner Gartenanteil/ Terasse und eine für 4 Personen mit 2 Bädern perfekte Wohnung über zwei Etagen. Überall super Insektenschutz vor den Fenstern. Mit einer Waschmaschine und einem Geschirrspühler/ Gefriermöglichkeit ist es auch eine bestens ausgestattete Küche. Bordeaux ist mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen. Die Gegend bietet schöne Ausflüge. Rundum ein unvergesslicher Urlaub. Ganz herzlichen Dank!
Der Aufenthalt war sehr schön in diesem Anwesen. Sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Bilder entsprechen dem Inserat.
Die netten Gastgeber haben uns viele Tipps für die Umgebung gegeben.
Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt.
We hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad in dit prachtige huis. Elke kamer heeft een eigen badkamer. De tuin is prachtig. Het zwembad wordt goed onderhouden. Een echte aanrader!
We have stayed in other gites. This was much better in terms of space and how well-equipped it is. It was very clean on arrival. Run by friendly French and Australian family. They provided lots of helpful suggestions of places to go. The family produce their own wine and I enjoyed the tour and wine tasting. I was also very lucky to be around for the harvest of the white grapes and Andrea and Jean-Louis took their time to explain the process to me. The gite and its rural location, only 25mins by car from Bordeaux offer the perfect balance of tranquility and city activity.
Podemos, honestamente, dizer que adoramos tudo.
A casa é muito bonita, confortável, incrivelmente limpa e bem apetrechada com tudo o que se pode precisar para umas férias em família com criancas.
Nada fazia prever o intenso calor que se fez sentir e só mesmo isso esteve a mais.
A hospitalidade, simpatia e disponibilidade da Família Rives é de destacar.
A quinta é muito bonita e cuidada, ideal para descansar dos barulhos da cidade e trocá-los pelo canto dos pássaros.
Agradecemos muito e ficamos com o desejo de voltar.
Família Quintino Bessa.
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt vollkommen genossen und alles entsprach der Beschreibung, wenn diese nicht sogar übertroffen wurde.
Sehr schönes und komplett frei zugängliches Weingut, man hat nie den Eindruck, dass man "stört". schöne Terrasse, der Pool ist sehr gepflegt und schön, die Wohnungsausstattung ist komplett und alle Fenster sind mit Fliegennetzen ausgestattet.
Der Hausherr steht sehr hilfreich und beratend bereit und freut sich sein lokales Wissen zu teilen.
Ein Ort an den wir gerne wiederkommen.
Un grand logement dans une propriété de 8 hectares, calme et tranquille et surtout très propre. Proche de Bordeaux et assez loin pour profiter de la campagne. Propriétaire agréable et serviable pour vous donner des conseils de visite mais aussi toutes les explications sur la région et sur la fabrication du vin en général.
Wir suchten eine Unterkunft , um uns auf einen Wohnungswechsel von Deutschland nach Nouvelle Aquitanie vorzubereiten.
Wir fanden ein Domizil , welches in hervorragender Weise unseren Ansprüchen genügte !! Die Unterkunft ist mit allem ausgestattet , die Lage ist excellent ! Sehr ruhig am Rande von Saint Caprais de Bordeaux gelegen . Die Gastgeber waren vom ersten Augenblick an auf uns und unsere Fragen eingestellt und wir hatten immer einen Ansprechpartner.Es fällt uns schwer, nach 2 Monaten Aufenthalt diesen gastlichen Platz zu verlassen und wir möchten uns sehr für unsere fast schon familiäre Aufnahme bei den Gastgebern bedanken.
Wir können diese Unterkunft bestens weiterempfehlen !

The property was immaculate and extremely well equipped.
The gardens and pool area were beautiful. The family invited us to help ourselves to unlimited figs and herbs.
The host family were very knowledgeable, welcoming and generous to us.
The property is ideally located for exploring the countryside, the city and the coast. The village supermarket is just a short walk away.
We had a marvellous time and you will too!
