I booked this house for 12 of my closest friends to celebrate a milestone birthday and the place far far exceeded my expectations and that of my friends. We absolutely loved it! The property is much bigger than it looks and every room has its own special character. The house was clean and it would be a great place if you wanted to cook, entertain or just spread out across 2 separate living rooms, both with their own unique style.
Right from the start, the host was fabulous allowing me to check in early and leave slightly later. He was always available on the phone when we had questions.
As there were so many of us and we were visiting Bordeaux and multiple vineyards, the host arranged for a daily maid-service which was brilliant. It was definitely worth the small cost. And I would highly recommend this for a large group.
This property is perfectly located less than 10 mins drive from Bordeaux and we all took Uber’s which were surprisingly always available quickly and for 4 people, hugely economical. We decided against renting cars so we could all enjoy the many wines of Bordeaux. We arranged for a minibus to take us to the multiple vineyards, all within 45 mins from the house.
The swimming pool was magical, clean, well kept and a place we all hung out during the times we were at the house. There is a great outdoor dining area, again making the place just perfect.
In addition to a fabulous pool and property grounds, there is a wooded public park behind the house where you can walk, run, bike ride or ride horses.
The property is in a safe area, it felt safe and we never set the alarm when we were all out. The general groundsman (Remy) is always close by working, is always cheerful, helpful and available as needed. He was always a reassuring sight.
In summary, a great house, highly recommended, perfectly located for Bordeaux, a quiet hidden gem, safe, clean, and a great host. I definitely plan to go.
