We had an amazing stay at this 7-bedroom Manoir! It has a real French château feel to it, with stunning architecture and unbelievable views.There's so much space to hang out, eat, and enjoy yourself that it's sometimes hard to choose where to go! It's such a quiet, relaxing, and beautiful place to be. The pool, bar, and pizza oven area are just wonderful and made our stay even better.We'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable and spacious getaway.5 stars!!!

So much room to spread out, both inside and outside this manoir, lofty ceilings, huge fireplaces, history abounds at Quatre Vents. The pool is magnificent and clean, the bar and pizza oven are great fun and perfect for entertaining on the long hot evenings in this part of the world, fresh figs from the garden etc… Thank you for a perfect stay.
This was the most perfect place to think and unwind over a week, while being able to head out and see nearby sites. The pool, pizza oven, and barbeque allowed us to relax and chat; the grounds allowed us enough space not to be crowded. Perfect!
What a wonderful place to stay! The view and especially the sunsets were incredible every day. Pizza oven (with great hints and tips from Steve) was fab. Swimming every day was such a bonus. Honestly, we didn’t really need to venture out to enjoy ourselves. However, can highly recommend the local night markets over the summer, delicious chocolate in Nérac and lovely beach in Aiguillion. Highly recommend!

HI Helen
So glad you and the family had such a great time, its a wonderful balance of chilling at the house, pool and bar and exploring the night markets, restaurants, lakes and vineyards.
The pizzas are great as is bread and roasts.

We had a fabulous family break at this property. The location and views are truly stunning I don’t think any photo I took did it justice. We spent many hours in the pool and by the pool bar during the day and enjoyed evening bbqs watching the sunset.
Had a lovely visit to night market in Nerac which I recommend.
You will need a car but we drove to France so wasn’t an issue for us.
The house is full of rustic charm, which we loved, and was plenty of space for multiple families to enjoy.
My only slight feedback would be a little more kitchen cupboard space would be beneficial to store food but not a deal breaker as a lot of fridge space is available. Some of the loungers by pool were out of action but we went at end of summer and we all had more then enough places to sit and lay so didn’t impact us.
Pool was cleaned regularly and the check in process was seamless. Big supermarket 5 mins drive.
A great time had by all (ages ranges from 5, teenagers to 50+). I am very much missing the views, sun and pool. Thank you also for answering all my multiple questions pre visit!

Quatre Vents is a perfect destination for an idyllic summer break I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
We arrived as a spectacular sunset was in full swing and that was repeated on most nights. The house is high on a hill, it’s difficult to convey the extent of the panoramic views from the house and both terraces! When sitting by the pool you take it all in and that makes a perfect setting for relaxed summer living. We could have happily relaxed by the pool all holiday. In the afternoons we enjoyed BBQ’s and pizza nights at the bar by the pool which was wonderful.
The house itself was comfortable and spacious with good showers, a bath and comfortable beds. We enjoyed having outside tables on two terraces for meals to choose to be in the sun or shade at different times of day. The conservatory was useful with a table we ate at and played cards and other games. There was also table tennis and table football all well used by our family!
We didn’t manage all the outings we had planned, there is plenty to do in the region.
On our way we went to the Dune du Pilat near Bordeaux which is a stunning coastal area, a beach with a huge sand dune. we kayaked on the river Lot. We also hired bikes including a tandem and rode along the canal tow path, a beautiful setting shaded by an avenue of poplar trees. There are plenty of very ancient villages to stop at and enjoy. We shopped at several of the farmers’ markets and ate fresh fruit and veg. Steve is a responsive friendly host.

Disappointing Stay at Quatre Vents Accommodation
I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Quatre Vents accommodation and unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. While the vacation home boasted a spacious layout, the overall condition of the property was quite disappointing.
One of the major letdowns were the unclean beds and living spaces. It was evident that proper cleaning had not taken place, and the overall tidiness was lacking. Moreover, the state of the furniture and household appliances was equally disheartening – many were not only dirty but also in a state of disrepair.
On a positive note, I cannot deny the beauty of the location and the captivating views that Quatre Vents offered. The scenic surroundings and picturesque vistas certainly added a redeeming quality to the stay.
However, considering the various issues with cleanliness and maintenance, I must say that the price-to-quality ratio fell far short of expectations. The experience did not justify the cost, and I found myself disappointed with the overall value.
Taking all these factors into consideration, I regretfully cannot recommend this accommodation to fellow travelers. It's clear that improvements in maintenance and cleanliness are necessary to truly provide a pleasant stay for guests.

I'm also sorry you left the house not as you found it, your guests having broken furniture, damaged shower, and multiple beds moved from room to room.

Mooi verblijf voor groep
Tijdens ons verblijf was het zeer warm. Er is geen airco voorzien. Het poolhuis bij het zwembad was een topper, De ruimte in het huis is ook een troef. Als je het niet te nauw neemt betreffende netheid dan is dit echt een topper. Het huis heeft een opfris beurt nodig. De gastheer is zeer vriendelijk. Huren via VRBO is een aanrader.
Nous avons passé un super séjour dans ce domaine fabuleux, nous avons pu profiter de tout l’équipement extérieur et intérieur, l’endroit est sublime avec la vue panoramique ! nous reviendrons un grand merci pour votre accueil ☀️
Nous avons réservé pour 17 personnes en familles pour la pentecôte 2024. Heureusement que tout le monde ne dormait pas dans les couchages proposés (certains sont venu en van) car certains vieux canapé lit sont en fin de vie(sommier à ressort détendu) et la propreté du logement était très moyenne. Il a fallut faire un peu de menage avant de s'installer. Mais nous avons etait très désagréablement surpris de la piscine. Le propriétaire nous avez prévenu que la piscine avait une fuite mais qu'elle etait chauffée et propre. Nous sommes arrivés avec une piscine sale, avec des algues vertes au fond, froide puisque alimentée par un robinet de remplissage extérieur pour combler la fuite. Sans revêtement de piscine classique(à même le ciment). La véranda où se trouve la salle de jeu et tables pour manger a été infondée suite à une belle averse(grosse fuite en toiture). Le reste reste convenable.

Gîte idéal pour grand groupe
Gîte idéal pour un grand groupe, nous étions 16 adultes et 3 enfants. Mais la maison n'est pas assez habitée ni aérée, ça sent beaucoup le renfermé, surtout dans les chambres du bas ou celles à l'extérieur. Et surtout, la maison est infestée de punaises, nous en avons enlevé des dizaines tout au long du séjour, c'est moyennement plaisant...
Il manque aussi de la vaisselle, pour de grands groupes comme ça, c'est bien d'avoir au moins un verre à pied pour chacun et des couverts en conséquence aussi. Ce sont des choses à améliorer pour les prochains locataires.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour malgré ces petits désagréments.

Chère Julia, merci pour votre retour et heureuse que vous ayez passé un bon séjour dans l'ensemble.
Les insectes étaient des insectes boucliers qui arrivaient occasionnellement en automne, heureusement pas depuis les lits !
Il y a 20 couverts, vaisselle, etc., désolé si cela ne suffit pas.
je te souhaite un bon voyage
Nous avons passé deux jours avec amis et enfants. Très spacieux et pratique pour venir nombreux. Les équipements et le cadre sont top : très belle vue, piscine, four à pizza etc.
Mais aussi cuisine complète équipée.
En revanche, lieu assez humide, le ménage est à revoir (pas mal d’insectes morts qui traînent).

Amazing family holiday in the most beautiful location
The views from the property are absolutely amazing; for us, this was the best thing about our stay.
The house is lovely and there was plenty of room for our family of 15 (10 adults, 3 children and 2 babies). Due to the size of the property there were some areas that were not as clean as they could have been (dust, cobwebs etc.) but generally it was fine and the main things were perfectly clean (beds and bathrooms).
On the listing it documented a cot being in the main king size bedroom and for this reason we did not ask for one. When we got to the property there was none to be found and therefore we had a long night trying to get our 1 year old off to sleep in his buggy. However, the next day the lovely cleaners came over and got a travel cot from the garage for us, which was very much appreciated as they do not live close by. It worked out fine in the end but the listing should probably make it clearer that you need to request cots.
We loved the pizza oven, the pool and the quiet location but not so much the mosquitos and wasps (no fault of the owner just down to the hilltop location- only mentioning so others are aware the bring lots of bug spray and bite cream!) All in all we had an amazing week and would definitely recommend to large families wanting some down time together and we would certainly return in future!

Could have been the perfect holiday spot...
A charming old house with plenty of room inside and outside, on a perfect location, with breathtaking views : what more could one want ? Sleep ! The lowest bed rooms can not be used because they are much too humid. Some walls are wet and the beds are humid. After one week with all windows open en fans blowing air in, it was still wet. Luckily we were only eight adults and could arrange for everyone to sleep on the ground floor. All bedrooms have broken or missing mosquito screens, so it was difficult to open windows at night. Nevertheless we enjoyed the house and the environment very much. This location is hard to find !

You'll not be disappointed with a holiday staying at this property.
The farmhouse is very comfortable and has all the facilities you would need. It is beautifully situated at the end of a lane with spectacular views out over the valley. We enjoyed the lovely pool and even got to grips with the outdoor pizza oven.
The local town has a great patisserie and there are many local markets with great produce.
In summary, we had a lovely relaxing break and came back very refreshed.
