I am am a loss for words when describing my stay... If I was to try to come close to describing, I think the proper phrase would be "It was utterly, Pure Bliss".
I initially hesitated when first booking this place because of the fact that it was a back house and in order to get to my cottage I needed to pass through someone's place. BUT when I arrived and met Gwendoline and Marc I knew all would be fine in the world. Also the main house you pass through is actually their animation studio they started. It feels like you are crossing through a small creative office (that's decorated insanely well) and not someone's home. Their living space is separate from any entrance you would pass through. I passed through all times of the day and night with ease, including picking up . delivery when I was too tired to move.
Upon meeting the hosts, we walked back to the cottage through the garden. As we turned a bush, there it was in all it's glory. Glistening in the afternoon sun with the shadows of the swaying trees dancing on its exterior. This cottage is one of a kind. Outside sat a yellow surfboard nestled in the plants, along with a small cafe table to eat all of your meals. All doors and windows opened up into this blissful open aired living space. The bathroom was huge and the kitchen was well curated with appliances and cutlery. Also let me tell you, if was extremely difficult to get out of bed, which faces outside into the filled garden of palms and additional greenery. It was even more difficult to leave the cottage and venture in to the also gorgeous streets of Bordeaux, although when I did it added even more bliss to this vacation!
As you can see, this utterly blissful experience was also incredibly inspiring. Just what I needed to reset my mind and body. I will definitely be back to stay! :)
