Stunning château in rural France. In August this year we made our 3rd visit to Château Velouse with a group of friends and once again had a wonderful time. The first time we flew to Paris and hired a car but found it more economical to take a ferry - crossing to Dieppe last year and Calais in August. Easy drive on all occasions. Location is in a beautiful rural area steeped in history and close to the Loire with its majestic châteaux and extensive forests. Medieval Bourge, only a few miles away, is very well worth several visits – the acoustics in the cathedral are amazing. The surrounding area is reasonably flat and so an ideal centre for cycling on very quiet roads and off road tracks. The communal areas and bedrooms in the château are impressive and very classy. The pool area is an ideal centre for complete relaxation. Pool is clean and well maintained. The hosts are extremely welcoming and friendly - very attentive to our needs and not obtrusive. Well worth a visit.
Stunning house and settings. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We’ve had a fantastic time with lots of swimming and jumping
Thank you for another fabulous week in your home - a slice of paradise! Its been a blast and we all loved it!
Wonderful house full of character. My family had so much fun in the sparkling clean pool. All was laid on in the house and everything so clean.
Wonderful stay ! Stunning Views and a cleverly laid out villa that maximises beautiful spaces and terraces. Thank you to Lorraine and Michael for food recommendations and our local taxi driver Laurent who took us to some fantastic restaurants. Thankyou
Beautiful and large residence decorated with care composed of a house equipped with 2 living rooms, a large fully equipped kitchen, 4 bedrooms and as many bathrooms upstairs. A gîte outside with 3 bedrooms and living room, a magnificent convivial room with table tennis, billiards, fully equipped bar and home cinema. Mark, despite the distance, is very responsive and sympathetic. One of his friends came to make sure, the day after our arrival, that we were properly installed. The house is well placed to visit the surrounding villages: Bergerac, Issigeac, Boucle de la Nette, Château de Biron, Villareal ... To be redone in the summer to take advantage of the majestic swimming pool! We STRONGLY recommend!
We had a lovely time. Accommodation was amazing and the weather was beautiful.
Best family holiday ever. Amazing space of the house led to us having the best family holiday ever for 9 adults and 3 young children. The outdoor areas are equally fantastic, the pool, Japanese garden with pizza oven was greatly appreciated and we would love to come back and see our host Katie again.
Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday! We know the Dordogne but have not been back in years. This beautiful house exuded our expectations: beautiful interior, beautiful views and beautiful pool to cool off in after sightseeing. Thank you for the generous provisions. I left a can of walnut oil as a thank you gift. We managed to fit castles, canoes and dinner at L’Esplanade in Domme into this visit. On behalf of Sophie, who was born in France… Merci Beaucoup!
The Castle is Amazing! We had the best of times here in the castle full of laughter, joy, wine and good food. The castle is amazing and we would love to come again. Thank you for sharing this place we felt as if in part of a fairytale.
Le Malardier is delightful. It is so much more than just a holiday home. Every room makes you want to step inside. The house has been so sympathetically restored and is quite clearly a labour of love. Richard and Gay were also the perfect hosts and couldn't have done more to welcome us. If your thinking of booking a week or two at Malardier, do it. You won't be disappointed.
Beautiful house - a real hidden gem in hills of Myan Sartu. Nice located, easy accessible, safe, comfortable and convenient especially for families with children. The owner is a very responsible and attentive host. Our slightest problems were solved instantly without ruining our plans for the day. Special mention should be made of the breathtaking view from the terrace and the great opportunities for children's leisure. The house is just overflowing with different toys and board games. Our family was so happy to spend our holidays here and will definitely come back again.
Amazing house for outside living ,lots of BBQs and rose on the terrace. Our outdoors loved the walk through the woods and we enjoyed the local markets. Highly recommend L’Effet Maison restaurant in Monflanquin – fantastic food and great wine. Look forward to a new pool side! Thanks for having us!
What an amazing week - fabulous place and marvellous location. Thoroughly enjoyed taking in the beautiful villages, fantastic restaurants and most of all - the views - breathtaking. Thank you for letting us share your beautiful home - a forever memory.
We had a very nice week. We were 11 adults and the house is very large, the spacious rooms (all equipped with fans), the kitchen very well equipped: the 2 fridges are a plus when there are many of us to avoid going shopping every day, the 2 nice dishwashers too! The place is quiet, the garden nice and the pool huge! In addition, a stone's throw from the house flows La Rigole, a river bordered by a path under the trees, ideal for walking, jogging or cycling. At the end of this path, 4km away (about 40 minutes walk, in the shade) is a guinguette where we spent our last evening. Sam is very responsive and answered my questions before and during the stay in record time! We will keep a very good memory of our holiday with friends in Saint Paulet!
We had a wonderful few days in this gorgeous house and it was everything we had hoped for-lovely French feel to the place, excellent location and a fantastic pool (particularly during the heatwave we had). The house was equipped with everything we needed and more-you really have thought of everything! Thanks again, we hope to be back next year. Merci!
Everything is good. The layout, quality and all the different terraces.
We had the most fabulous 2 weeks - Maison de Saint-Jean is amazing and it is so well equipped that we didn't lack anything at all.
What a lovely property. A real home from home, lacking nothing. Thank you for allowing us to spend 2 weeks as a large family group. We all had a fantastic time.
Thank you for a lovely week - super calm and relaxing in your gorgeous place. We felt very welcome and enjoyed chatting with you. We enjoyed dips int he pool.
My family (of 4) have stayed at this house on many occasions since the children were babies and it is the perfect house to spend a holiday with another family. The house has a wonderful and relaxed atmosphere and is always welcoming and cool after a hot days sightseeing around the pretty countryside. The swimming pool and grounds are beautiful. What with badminton on the lawn, ping pong in the barn, lazy meals outside in the courtyard and relaxing by the pool, it is possible for the whole family to be well occupied all day long.
A heartfelt thank you from us for your generous hospitality. It has been a joyful end to the year and a great start to 2022. We do hope to see you later in the year and wish you a truly happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. With our thanks and best wishes.
I just wanted to say we had a fantastic time last week in your lovely home, the space and all the facilities made our stay brilliant. Thank you! Robert also made our stay most welcome, always being available for advice and help and making sure both our arrival and leaving your home was seamless - Thank you.
Thank you very much for our stay in this amazing house- everything has been provided that we could have possibly wanted. We particularly enjoyed playing ping-pong and enjoying the warm evenings on the terrace. St. Emilion was a highlight and we also enjoyed trips to Bordeaux (which I will definitely revisit for a longer break in future). We enjoyed meals in the village.
Oh how we loved your house! Our daughter, two sons and their three spouses, plus seven grandchildren from three to sixteen all voted it "best yet"! And Francois was wonderful and charming. Isabol speaks excellent French so they got on well.
We had a very good week of vacation with 2 families. The villa is superb, well equipped and maintained. The heated swimming pool is really a plus, the children really enjoyed it. The owners, who live nearby, are friendly and available. We will return with great pleasure if the opportunity arises. We are strongly recommend this rental.
What a beautiful château! 18 members of the family came from all over the world for our 50th anniversary wedding together.
La Barde is much more than a holiday house - a real home beautifully decorated, very comfortable and clean and with a spacious, well equipped kitchen which was a pleasure to cook in. The host made us feel really welcome and went out of her way to provide everything we needed from the clear maps she sent to help us find the house to finding out about kayaking for us and even bringing us plenty of extra games and dvd's when the rain came down on our second day. In spite of the weather we really enjoyed the pool in its beautiful setting and the boys enjoyed playing football in the meadow. The gardens are beautiful and we enjoyed exploring and walking through to the lane and up to the small bar in the village. We hired bikes which were delivered and picked up and it was a great way to explore the surrounding countryside and villages. We all hope to go back next summer, there is so much in the area still to see though if the sun shone I don't think we would want to leave the garden and swimming pool! Thank you for a really memorable holiday.
Such a beautiful peaceful place we have loved it here. We loved: La Ferme Aux Grives, Eugenie Les Bains, La Bastide D'amagnac.
