The location is fabulous. The pool area and games were great and we spent most of out time at the pool when onsite. The villa is impressive but possibly a little tired although clean enough but certainly not luxurious.Joining instructions were confusing as we were not aware the owner/manager lived in the adjacent property. However a miner issue.The big issue for us was that we chose the villa as it had air conditioning. In reality only 3 of the 6/7 bedrooms had air conditioning and none of the communal rooms/areas. There were fans and home made mesh screens to slot into half of window space to allow air in at night. During the day these had to be removed and windows/shutters closed to keep out the sun!Had the air conditioning been in all bedrooms the villa would score 4/5 stars.

Nous sommes désolés que votre séjour s'est très mal passé mais nous ne sommes pas responsables du climat excessivement caniculaire de cette année.Vous nous faites un mauvais procès.Sur VRBO il est bien spécifié que deux chambres sont climatisées même trois.Notre projet est de climatiser une plus grande partie des gîtes pour l'année prochaine.Notre maison est ancienne mais bien entretenue.Tout fonctionne.Votre cotation n'est pas crédible.Les photos sur VRBO correspondent tout à fait à la réalité.Nous avons toujours été disponible en cas de problème mais dela à devoir enlever les moustiquaires le matin et les remettre le soir........

One week break

Everything about the property was top class. Accomodation was excellent as was the pool and the gardens. It was very quiet but the river and major centres were easily reached. The outside BBQ with its own cutlery and crockery and dishwasher was excellent. We heartily recommend the property. The proprietors were kind and kept the pool etc in perfect condition.

Family holiday

A beautiful house which worked well for 12 of us (6 adults and 6 children). It is very tastefully furnished and well equipped but we did not appreciate beforehand the number of different levels and steps/stairs involved or that 1 bedroom is in a separate, but attached, building. The BBQ area, pool, table tennis and table football were much enjoyed by all and the children enjoyed playing "hide and seek" in the lovely grounds. Carine and Joel were very helpful when there was a small problem in the house and when asked for information and kindly provided toys for appropriate ages.

Wonderful Holiday with Friends

Hey! I was working on the review for our first house. What do you think if this.... want to add our change anything? We are a group of friends who come to France every few years for holiday.  We had such an amazing stay here.  Joel and his wife are wonderful! They were so helpful with recommendations (all their recommendations became the highlights of our trip). We really enjoyed chatting with his wife. She is so sweet and absolutely amazing. The house and property are so beautiful and relaxing. The house is perfect. There are so many small details they have thought of that you want for nothing.  The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would need to cook a meal. The bedrooms are all beautifully furnished and all had closets.  The beds and bedding were so comfortable. There are many options for eating areas as a group (outside and inside). The living room is fantastic with comfortable inviting furniture that is great for chatting and unwinding after a fun day of exploring. The tv can be used in both French and English. The 6th room is it's own small apartment which worked out perfectly for our group! Shopping, markets, restaurants, sites, activities are all within 30 min or less from the house. It's great that you are in the country but still close enough for everything you want to do. The Strawberry farm nextdoor had the most delicious strawberries. We can't wait to come back and stay here! It was amazing and the perfect place for our group.

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cette maison. C'est une belle propriété, avec du charme, en bon état et bien entretenu.Elle est bien située, près de Sarlat et d'autres lieux touristiques.La piscine et son pool house avec cuisine équipée sont superbes. Les propriétaires sont accueillants et sympathiques. En revanche, nous avons été surpris par la proximité de leur maison. Le vis-à-vis autour de la piscine réduit l’intimité. Nous aurions aimé le savoir. Il pourrait facilement être supprimé avec une haie.Dans l’ensemble, cela reste une très belle location que nous recommandons.

Un séjour des plus agréables malgré la meteo

Nous avons loué le gîte la Ballade au bois pour 5 jours incluant le jour de l'an. Le gîte est remarquable, très confortable et très bien équipé à tout point de vue, des prestations haut de gamme. Pour l'hiver le chauffage est tout a fait suffisant et la cheminée très appréciée; en été la piscine et tout son environnement doivent aussi être des plus agréables. L'accueil est parfait avec les cadeaux de bienvenue (bouteilles de vin de la région, gaufres excellentes). Malgré un temps peu clément mais de saison, nous avons pu visiter le site de Lascaux IV, le musée de Eyzies, les jardins de Marqueysac, Sarlat, Domme, Beynac (des lieux chargées d'histoire), en bref un séjour des pus agréables à la Ballade au bois.
