Ask a questionAbout Amy Speers
We fell in love with this beautiful village in 2019 and were so thrilled to buy our house. We wanted to be in a village where we could mix with friendly people and learn French. We love the area and love being near Bordeaux, a fantastic city full of culture.
Amy Speers purchased this cottage in 2019
Why Amy Speers chose Gensac
We looked at so many houses before choosing this one. It was absolutely perfect for us, built with the ancient stone (maison pierre), and with so many pretty and original features. Small but absolutely perfect, the cottage is designed to be somewhere we would be happy to stay ourselves, and to take the stress out of going on holiday!
What makes this cottage unique
The peaceful setting with pool views from both bedrooms and being able to step out on to the terrace and enjoy a swim at any time of day or night is so luxurious! Being in a village means you can enjoy fresh morning croissants, evening drinks and meals and all the benefits of speaking a little French without getting in your car!
