TrĂšs belle maison dans la verdure sur les hauteurs qui donne une vue sur la campagne environnante. On voit le matin des liĂšvres, des renards et des biches. De vrai vacances reposantes.
We rented the house as a base during a meditation retreat in nearby Temple sur Lot. It is a wonderful home, very comfy, lots of places to relax and read a book. Kitchen was well-stocked. The host was communicative, easy-going and accommodating. Because we traveled in the winter, we didnât get to take advantage of the pool but I imagine thatâs a fantastic seasonal perk. The only less than stellar note is that the WiFi is subpar. The thick stone walls preclude good connection in certain rooms, for example there was zero WiFi (or cell signal) in the bedroom with the shower where I slept or in the kitchen. This was a drag as I explicitly asked before booking about the strength of the WiFi signal because I had to work during the evening and be on Zoom calls. The host assured me that while there was no fiber optic there was decent coverage and that absolutely was not my experience. When there was coverage it was slow. An upgrade in the WiFi would truly make this listing perfect. I would suggest if going in the winter that you bring hot water bottles. Ours came in handy because although there is heat, the mattress was very cold. That being said, we enjoyed the stay so much and would recommend it easily.
Exactly as expected from the advert, this house was full of charm and located in a very tranquil part of the Lot et Garonne countryside. Francoise and her family welcomed us on arrival, taking the time to show us around the property and grounds, as well as everything we needed to know. They stocked the fridge with soft drinks, a bottle of beer and delicious local wine and some local foie gras, which was a pleasant surprise!
The furnishing of the property was beautiful and during a week of high 30s, the swimming pool was bliss! When we had a little concern over the filter of the pool, they were prompt in their response and immediately sent someone over to check it out.
The property (equipped with alarm) and its grounds are so beautiful. The neighbour close-by is a farmer raising hens and growing fresh vegetables. We bought some local produce from him (tomatoes, courgettes) as well as eggs from his hens and a chicken he prepared for us that day! Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed feeding the hens leftovers from our breakfast!
The family also kindly left us a list of local shops and points of interest to visit. We especially enjoyed our visit to Monpazier (an hour drive away).
