We loved this property and it was even better than what we could tell by the pictures on the website. In particular, the indoor and outdoor spaces are well laid out - the pool and outdoor dining space is private and there are plenty of tables, chairs, lounging and games. Also abundant umbrellas to protect from the sun. The interior is spacious with plenty of rooms for dining, lounging and cooking. The kitchen is very well stocked with china, glasses, equipment and appliances. Having AC, especially in the bedrooms, was critical for us during a very hot spell in early September. The beds were very comfortable. Two of the bedrooms (one in the house and one in the gite) are best suited to children. The other five were great for adults. Having 5 bathrooms (4 of which are ensuite) was amazing for our group of 5 adult women.
The location is close enough to town to make boulangerie, marche and supermarche errands easy. It is also perfectly quiet. The view of the river is lovely. The drive to St. Emilion, St. Foy La Grande and other towns was easy. There is plenty to see, do, eat and drink within 30 minutes in any direction.
Finally, the owner's agent on the ground, John, was incredibly helpful and responsive. He was there to greet us, show us how things worked and to see us off. We hated to leave.
