We very much enjoyed our stay with Patrick and Veronique. The chateau was ideally located for visits to Saint Emilion and the surrounding area. The chateau was clean and spacious, giving our group plenty of room. The kitchen/family room area provided a nice place for us to gather together. Communication with Patrick was excellent before and during our visit, and he was very responsive to our needs. Our hosts were able to schedule a wonderful visit to a nearby winery, which really added to our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

French Chateaux experience

We loved meeting Patrick and Veronique. The most delightful hosts. The peaceful garden setting and surrounding vineyards were perfect for then exploding around St Emillion and the beautiful French countryside. All amenities are provided together with a genuine experience of an old chateaux with its quirks and timeless charm. Thank you to our hosts.

Dear friends, Thank you for your kind comments. We were also very happy to welcome you. We will also be very happy to welcome you again, as you mentioned upon your departure. We thank you again very much for the plant you gave us upon your departure. It's not very common, but it does happen from time to time, that our guests give us gifts. We always feel very moved when we receive them. We believe this reflects the welcome we strive to extend to all our guests. Sincerely, Patrick and Véronique

Five Days in Genissac

We were met by our hosts as we arrived and shown their property & rental home. They were very helpful with grocery shopping, restaurant suggestions & a few wineries they suggested. The kitchen was great for cooking in two evenings. We were 2 couples and the house was perfect for us. We would recommend this rental.

Saint Emilion area gem

What a wonderful experience and house. We were greeted by Patrick and Veronique who gave us tips about the surrounding areas. This house is in a wonderful area, close to Saint-Emilion. We had a car and explored the entire region. If you’re into wine, this is the place. Also some great restaurants are nearby, two that stand out are La Reserve du Presbytère and Cosy Tourny in Libourne.

Magic week in Genissac

Beautiful old house with a phenomenal garden and major amenities within 10 min driving that can comfortably sleep 8.5 people (one bunk bed and a crib). Hosts are terrific. Three full bathrooms. Fully equipped kitchen.Two minor issues: Bathtub drains slowly and shower is for those who love high temperatures.

Nous espérons bien que vous reviendrez, nous vous accueillerons à nouveau avec plaisir. Si ce n'est vous, de vos amis que nous accueillerons aussi avec joie. Très cordialement.

Wonderful experience

We visited with 2 other couples and truly enjoyed this house surrounded by vineyards. Patrick and Veronique were great hosts who treated us to homemade jams upon our arrival and an evening of wine and conversation. We were able to take walks in the country, eat our meals outdoors and relax in the yard under shady cedar trees. It gets hot in the summer, so you might want to bring some fans. Otherwise, we spent a very enjoyable time here.

This property is one of the loveliest properties we’ve ever stayed in. The hosts, Patrick and Véronique, were wonderful, greeted us in person, and showed us through the house explaining the layout and function of the property’s features.The home is located between Bordeaux an Saint-Emilion and both are easily accessible if you have a car. The location is extremely quiet and we were amazed at the number of stars we could see in the sky at night.The bedrooms rooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped. We used the washing machine. There isn’t a dryer, but there was a substantial drying rack available.If we were ever in the area again, I would definitely want to stay there again.

Beautiful area! Surrounded by vineyards! Very nice home!

Very very clean and comfortable home in a gorgeous and quiet area half way between Bordeaux and St Emilion, It is an interesting home, as it is a mix of traditional very French, and ikea in the kitchen/living room. Has a grill and al fresco dining area outside. Covered parking, wi-fi, and beautiful environment around the home. Owners are very kind and helpful. We would have liked a double set of towels and an additional tablecloth, but there is a washer if we hadn't been so lazy. Super convenient location! We had a very comfortable time. It is a gite which was a positive surprise!
