We had a fantastic stay at Catherine's lovely house. The photos don't do the house justice as it's much larger than it appears, with very high ceilings which make it feel luxuriously spacious. The house was immaculately clean, and with its new and modern interior was easy for us to clean up. Catherine was an excellent host and provided all the information we needed and ensured the house was well stocked. As a family of 6, with four almost adult children, we loved the many bedrooms and bathrooms that let everyone have some space. The house is about 40 minute walk from the centre of Bordeaux but we just drove (15min) and parked which was cheaper for us than the tram, which stops right around the corner. It was roughly an hour to the spectacular beaches by car, and 20-30mins to the wineries and so we were pleased to be well placed to enjoy them all. The supermarket around the corner was a pleasant surprise as it made shopping and cooking (in a marvelous kitchen) very easy. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer!
