We loved the setting, location and character of this beautiful house which we feel could tell many interesting stories (... if only walls could speak!). Our boys loved the pool and made great friends with the friendly tortoise. R. favours the name 'Toby' and B. likes 'Edouard'. We enjoyed a fabulous lunch for my birthday at Bistro Maritime and looking forward to dinner at Bistro Pharell for our last evening. Great days out exploring St-Émilion-Libourne. A great trip by train (so easy) to Bordeaux. The bassin de lumière is amazing if you have a wet day. We also loved watching the Mascaret from the house - so glad we were here on the 'right' day.
Great stay in your wonderful home. Enjoyed exploring the area including Nerac and its chateau museum. Good lunch at Le Vert Gentil next to the river in Nerac. Loved the lily gardens at Temple Sur Lot and managed to get a table for lunch without booking. Beautiful setting and pretty good food too! Night market here (last of the season) was great fun and amazing setting overlooking the lot valley. Janet and Mark you’ve been great hosts and really helpful. Thank you.
Another amazing stay at Maison Baleyssagues where we were very warmly hosted by Frédéric and his team. Such a peaceful location, sitting proudly on the hill top with panaramic views. Very spacious gardens topped with a beautiful pool and it’s own water fountain. Inside the villa nothing is left to chance with a fully equipped kitchen and very comfortable bedrooms. Looking at the pictures only tell half the story, it’s a superb place, if you don’t book early you’ll miss your chance as this place is always full, I wonder why?
Thank you so much for a wonderful week in Les Averries! A fantastic spot for children and adults. We feel we only 'scratched the surface' of the beautiful Val de Loire and would love to come back sometime soon. Thank you for being such a thoughtful and helpful host Michel. We have now filled our car with wonderful wine from the Caslot winery and our minds full of wonderful memories.
Had a wonderful 2 weeks at the Maison Baleyssagues in Lot-et-Garonne. Great days out in Bordeaux and the countryside. Weather great for the most part. Really enjoyed the super pool - which has been the best so far. Thanks so much to Frederic for being such an entertaining host. See you gain soon.
Thank you so much for letting us stay. It's been absolutely incredible, from wine tasting to taking walks with my husband. I genuinely cannot wait to come back. (hopefully soon)!
An excellent stay. A magnificent residence, full of history and impressive beauty. We were delighted to stay there. The advice given by Mme de Maleville was so valuable to us, especially for the restaurants to go to in the area. We will certainly return.
Very high end, luxurious with every amenity, wonderful location in the vines and countryside and yet near everything.
Amazing château! Stunning weather! Five families came together from different places: Canada, Wales, England. We enjoyed ourselves and each other's company. We hope to come again to this lovely place with friendly spirits.
We have had a wonderful time in Chateau Les Tourelles, all 15 of us. It was a great experience to enjoy this Chateau for one week. I loved the walk along the track to Carlux. We have been to Sarlar, to Domme which was my favourite. Also 4 hours canoeing trip on the Dordogne. The cycle paths were excellent, and safe, 2 bikes hired for the week. It was a joy to eat outside in the courtyard. Two yellow wagtail birds kept us company. We had the space and all our requirements we needed.
Thank you - we had a very nice stay in the holiday house! The beaches nearby and all the nice, old cities are all very worth to be explored. All in one - it was a wonderful stay for the kids and us.
Great Country Home in Domme. Eight of our family recently spent a few days in the Dordogne region greatly enjoying our home away from home, well located in Domme. Le Borghesia was a beautiful, very impressive and very old home renovated and appointed for today’s lifestyle. It is well located in a lovely country setting. Checking in and out was seamless. I would definitely recommend Le Borghesia to other travellers.
We have just returned from a month in France staying at Domaine de Laure. We had a simply lovely time. Before we went, we did have some reservations about the fact that the property was attached to the owners house. We really do value privacy and experience has indicated that this can be compromised when this is the case. In fact it turned out out that we had the best of both worlds - help whenever we needed it - Pierre and Benedict were charming - and total privacy at all other times. The house is comfortable, clean and well equipped. The king size beds and English TV were a bonus. The pool was clean and well maintained. But for us, it was the location and the total peace that were particularly special - even better than the photographs. The views were beautiful and the grounds very spacious. The only intrusion was the gentle tinkling of goat bells…magic! We have no hesitation in highly recommending Domaine de Laure.
Thank you for your hospitality. You have a wonderful home in a tranquil and gorgeous setting. We really enjoyed our days here and loved the cottage, the pool, lake and grounds are perfect. Your recommendations for local restaurants much appreciated.
We had a wonderful springtime week We had a wonderful springtime week at La Maison Sebastian, full of relaxation and beautiful experiences in the surrounding countryside. It was a privilege to be welcomed to this convivial home which is clearly loved by its owners and guests alike. Everything was clean, organized, and thoughtfully done. The setting lends itself to slowing down — taking a meandering walk through the peaceful woods all around, relishing an evening aépro on the terrace, or sparking memorable conversations by the fire. We are thankful to the house guardien Francois and housekeeper Sandrine for their impeccable work. The hosts also went the extra mile for our comfort, first by ensuring we ate well during a bank holiday when many markets closed and then by returning via post a jacket I had left behind. My grandmother used to say if you forgot an item somewhere, it means your heart wants to return. In the case of San Sebastien, I know that is true. Kevin
Unforgettable. My husband and I arranged to come to the Chateau as it has enough bedrooms for all our family - four children, their partners, and grandchildren, making 14 in all. The Maitre de was fantastic - a wine tasting in the wine cellar one evening, a meal for the adults in the dining room. He gave very valuable suggestions for places to go, and helped with any questions The donkey next door was another highlight. We were given carrots, when we collected pain au chocolat and croissant from the wonderful local shop, just up the road, so the children fed the donkey carrots. That shop has all sorts of quality cheeses and all we needed, even the basics. So to sum up, we all had a wonderful time thanks to all the team, the locals, and especially the donkey, Marius - who we all hope to make our ringtone!
We have had a wonderful week here in Sarlat! The weather has been amazing and we made great use of the pool and outdoor shower. Sarlat is beautiful. We spent many nights at the pub, found some great dining spots (Le Presidial), and an amazing ice cream shop (Terre Adélice). Château de Beynac is also very nice to visit and very close by. We would love to return to this house to explore more of what Sarlat has to offer. Many, many thanks for letting us stay in your wonderful home.
Wow, what a huge privilege to be the first entry into what we know will become a book full of compliments, acclaim and thanks to a very special couple who are creating a very special place. The house and gardens are an amazing reflection of the style and care and attention to detail that Russell and Karen are putting into what we know will become one of Languedoc's gems. Their un-intrusive but 'nothing is too much trouble' nature brings a relaxed and caring environment. The Loft is a lovely haven to relax in and contemplate the beautiful world around you. We look forward to returning and wish you all the very best.
Thank you very much indeed for renting your beautiful property to us for the past fortnight. My husband and I have been renting houses in France from time to time over the past thirty years. We are both agreed that Chez Pascale is the best and most generously equipped house that we have ever experienced. The setting, too, is delightful and so peaceful and quiet - a welcome change from our noisy city lives. We visited some of the local attractions which we enjoyed and agree that Sarlat, Domme and the surrounding villages and towns are justly famous for their scenic beauty and unique architecture as well as the local gastronomy. Our family members have now returned to their separate homes, but we will all retain some very happy memories of our holiday together in lovely Chez Pascale. Thank you, once more.
A true oasis to return to everyday. Our first villa holiday as a family and we absolutely loved it.
Well wow! what a beautiful place. We’ve had a fantastic family week celebrating our daughter’s 40th with children and grandchildren. Heaven!
What a pleasure to stay at Le Malardier. Such a lovely place with an amazing view.
We had the best time in this gorgeous house! We ate so many pain au chocolat but made up for it with lots of games of tennis, volleyball and badminton! Thank you so much!
We had a wonderful stay in Maison Richelieu. The house is extremely elegant and had everything needed. The pool and outside entertaining areas were excellent. It was an amazing house.
The house is stunning. The vintage furniture and decor mixed with more modern touches made us feel immediately at home! We enjoyed the pool area very much as well! And the location was perfect as well. Being able to see the boats on the Canal du Midi from the living room makes the house even more cozy and amazing. We will definitely come back soon! Thank you.
Beautiful, comfortable, romantic! Thank you for everything and see you soon.
The perfect setting for our fairytale wedding! We'd been planning for 18 months and staying here with our families and closest friends in the days preceding the wedding was the most amazing experience. Brits, Russians and Americans all in one house - there was a lot of wine and whiskey consumed!! Thank you for providing this incredible chateau for us - it was a week and a very special day none of our 100 guests will ever forget! Thanks the property team or the stressless stay and all your help. We hope to come back for an anniversary or two in the future.
