The house was first class and had everything we needed to make the stay enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for more. The owner Vanessa was very helpful with advising what to see and do in the local area. The only downside was that the local bistro was closed the time we were there which meant we had to drive to the next village if we wanted to go out for a bite to eat or a coffee

Really sorry but the restaurants main trade is workmen for lunch, so when all the businesses shut for August they shut for their holiday as well but there is another restaurant in the next village who does the same thing so I will suggest that they don't overlap their holidays in future.
Nous avons apprécié notre séjour a Sigournais, notamment les vastes chambres a coucher, le niveau d'équipement de la cuisine, et l'etat impeccable de la maison a notre arrivée.
Pour les bémols : l'obligation de passer par les chambres pour rejoindre la cour, et la mauvaise inspnorisation entre les deux niveaux, mais cela va avec les vieilles maisons.
Agréable séjour malgré cela.

Endroit appelant au repos
Maison agréable, un aménagement particulier qui nécessite une organisation pour les repas de la cuisine vers la terrasse. Cependant tout est là pour passer de très bonnes vacances.

lovely relaxing surroundings
The property was beautifully restored and very clean. It is in a very quiet hamlet, within easy reach of lots of scenic cycle rides. The owners had left lots of tourist leaflets which helped us decide where to go and they also had their own personal recommendations of restaurants and villages to visit which we found to be just what we wanted. The Lake nearby is lovely for a picnic lunch or a walk around.At the end of a days cycling we relaxed in the courtyard and enjoyed a glass of French wine...Bliss!!

"Wow" what luxury. Me and a couple of friends came to recharge our batteries and staid in this lovely "Villa" for a long weekend. Every requirement had been catered for down to the lemon zester. It was fantastic how the space had been utilised and the walled courtyard with fantastic barbecue, became a lovely sun trap for those sun lovers. I would have no problems in recommending this lovely located Villa ....book!.
