Wow.....just stunning panoramic views

Wow...what can one say! The views from the pool are simply beautiful, peaceful and tranquil. A pure hidden gem!!! When you work in a busy city and life is hectic this is the perfect place to come and relax, and enjoy rural France! This place was perfect for our young little family. Our girls (6 & 4years of age) had everything on site to keep them entertained:- from the pool, to rolling down the side of the little slope by the pool, and the Childrens out door climbing frame. Collecting acorns and fruit from the trees. If you are very quiet and up early you can even see the wild life (hares) from the front doors which the girls where amazed by. Not to mention the dear when you drive down the little lanes. The vineyard and different fruit trees are just beautiful too. We often ate our meals by the pool area just soaking in the pure panoramic beauty. Everything is easily accessible via car. We would definitely recommend the sand dunes....take the stairs as I struggled walking uphill on the sand! Definitely not for the faint hearted. The views from the Dunes. I just can't explain. It is definitely worth being out of breath for. We did a day trip to Bordeaux. (One day just isn't enough). Several visits to Entang villiers lake. (10 min car journey). There is just so much to do and the Gite is just in the perfect location to access all these wonderful things that France has to offer. The owners are just as amazing, nothing was ever to much trouble, always polite and friendly! Everything you need is on hand. So you don't need to pack the iron or hair dryers, Helen has that sorted too! So much so that we are looking forward to seeing them next year for two weeks. Thank you so much once again, the best relaxing holiday we have had. Xxx

Séjour exceptionnel

Tout était absolument parfait. La maison est bien équipée et très bien agencée et impeccablement propre. La petite terrasse est très agréable. Une grande piscine, équipée de transats et d’une table pour les repas. Merci à Helen pour son excellent accueil, sa disponibilité et sa gentillesse, nous avons reçu 1 bonne bouteille de vin en cadeau de bienvenue. Nous recommandons bien que nous préférerions garder cette adresse exclusivement pour nous. Merci à vous.

Un cadre idyllique pour des vacances en famille.

Un gîte très bien équipé et propre dans une grande propriété entourée de vignes. De nombreux jeux à disposition dans le jardin et dans le gîte. La piscine est attenante au logement et très agréable. Helen est discrète mais reste toujours disponible. Seul bémol, la présence de chauve-souris pouvant déranger à proximité mais les proprios vont s'en occuper.
