Peaceful little getaway for all the family
Really nice little gite away from it all. On first arrival it felt rather basic but we grew to love the simplicity and ease of life there. Lovely clean large pool, and private garden area with bbq, hammock, etc. kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool. 5 min drive/20min walk to Sauve a picturesque town but incredibly lively with events most evenings. Always surprised us in such a place to find such art and life. Owners Nick & Jenny always on hand to advise on places to visit. All suggestions were incredible and very memorable.

Een paradijsje
We hebben een zalige vakantie achter de rug! Alles was aanwezig om van een perfecte vakantie te kunnen genieten. Lieve eigenaars, prachtig huisje , een parel in de natuur, de kids zijn elke dag gaan vissen en zwemmen in de rivier. Ook het grote zwembad is een troef! Op 20 min ben je te voet in het dorp, heel gezellig en de weg ernaar toe, langs de rivier... echt top vakantie! De tapas in het dorp ook een aanrader!

Perfect peace
We (us plus kids aged 10 and 7) love this place! The location is perfect - perfectly peaceful yet within easy reach of all amenities. Fantastic pool with amazing views of the hills and a good chance of spotting eagles overhead. Loads of space for the kids to roam in the meadows in complete safety. Nick and Jenny are fabulous hosts - happy to chat about anything, help out with advice on days out but don't invade your privacy at all. We stayed 2 years in a row and will definitely return. Sauve is a lovely village and the walk in is easy for an evening meal - there are a couple of great restaurants which welcome children. The house has all that you need for a holiday including fans which were very welcome. The outside space, with bbq, hammock under the shade of a tree and the most amazing views, is unforgettable. Adam is a keen cyclist and the surrounding hills made for some great rides.

About the host

Hosted by Nick Moore-Morris

Host profile image
Hello . Jenny and I moved to Southern France some years back now, with our young family, seeking the warmth of a Mediterranean climate ,the beauty of Southern France, good wine and a more relaxed way of life amongst the nature and history of this lesser known area. We have not been disappointed and still marvel at the beauty of our surroundings, the space we have and yet all the facilities of modern life just close bye. Not that easy to find but we did and here we are over 25 years later and never saw anywhere better! It was an all or nothing move. Jenny has been a local councillor. I play in the pottery studio when I get the chance. No photo of us as we don't really come with the gite! But you'll see us around, occasionally by the pool.

Why they chose this property

Why this property? Well because it's close to all the facilities you may need and not up a mountain pass ! The accommodations are set within 12 acres of a conservation area of outstanding natural beauty. The whole region is stunning in its beauty, there's a super pool waiting,no stairs, great local walks, plenty of attractions from caves and train rides to bamboo forests and Roman temples , beautiful markets, great wine and even river swimming It's a perfect place to relax and watch the stars at night. Surrounded by a beautiful natural environment in a conservation area but close to art galleries, supermarkets, restaurants and a wonderful wine growing area. It's close to this side of paradise! and offers you your own private garden area as well as acres of meadow land to enjoy. Walk the medieval lane to Sauve for breakfast bread or in the evening to one of the nearby restaurants

What makes this property unique

Beautiful meadowland surrounds you in this conservation area giving you space to breath. Barbecue in your own garden or wander across the meadows and play a game of boule
Everyday you'll see eagles overhead. But you'll be only 3 minutes drive to supermarkets, restaurants (even closer), and genuine village markets. In the further meadows you'll find our donkeys,goats and chickens (don't worry ,there is no noisy cockerel!)There's a delightful walk from your gite by gardens and river to the authentic medieval village of Sauve with its many artists,musicians,many interesting shops and great architecture.
You'll have complete privacy but Jenny and I are always there to help with any problems you may have from booking a restaurant to punctures to light bulbs.
