Five of us (three adults and two children aged 7 and 4) stayed at Nicolas and Anne-Cecile's house for 8 nights in August 2019. They are very friendly and welcomed us with smiles. Nicolas showed us around and was very relaxed and helpful. Before we arrived, he had been communicative and had ensured we had everything we needed available for the children.
It was immediately apparent that we'd chosen the right place to stay! It's PERFECT for families with younger children (and no doubt for those with older children too, and for groups and families without children, due to the fantastic garden and pool area). The house and grounds are beautiful. It has its own separate garden with everything you need for outdoor dining and relaxing. In the main garden there are many mature trees, children's play equipment and a fenced off pool area (the pool even has an alarm in case someone falls in). The house is immaculately clean and nicely designed. All the bedrooms are nice, with comfy beds. The showers are good. There is a play room upstairs with a wide range of toys, games, books and puzzles. We literally didn't need to bring anything for the kids.
The location was perfect for us. It's outside of Bordeaux, on a quiet road in the Floirac area. So it's quiet at night and has very large grounds. We visited without a car and it worked well. Directly outside the gate is the bus stop for bus 28. Going one way on the 28 bus you can go to Floirac Dravemont in about 8 minutes, where there is a supermarket and a tram stop for tram A that takes you into the centre of Bordeaux in about 20-25 minutes. Going the other way on the 28 bus (from the house) you get to Bordeaux Stalingrad in about 15-20 minutes. From there it's a short walk over the bridge into the lovely old part of Bordeaux, near the Place de la Bourse. The Bordeaux transport system is good and the buses always ran on time. The "TBM" app has a journey planner and gives you real time arrival times. You can also buy tickets from the app (although you can also pay with cash on the buses). This was important to us, travelling without a car.
I'd recommend this place unreservedly. We will return one day. Many thanks Nicolas and Anne-Cecile!
