We rented Valerie's home for two weeks in July and had a wonderful stay. The house is located in a quiet residential area, overlooking a large vineyard (Chateau Senailhac). The house had good room for our two families (four adults, three children), and both the garden and the pool is larger than we expected after looking at the photos. Valerie is a great host, helpful and welcoming. She sorted out the small difficulties we had, and took the time to give us a small tour in the neighborhood to show us the supermarket, pharmacy, bakery etc. You have everything you need within a few minutes drive. You'll reach the seaside in an hour, St. Emilion in 40 minutes, Bordeaux in half an hour (just park the car (for free) in Buttiniere and take the tram). There's tracks in the nearby woods for running or walking.

I warmly recommend renting Valerie's house. It is a nice place to relax by the pool, and a great place to start your exploration of the beautiful Bordeaux region.
