Claudine's property is huge. We were a three families. My Family - two adults and three teenagers. My sister's family - two adults and two teenagers and my parents. And we were all accommodated very comfortably.
What to expect: A beautifully proportioned large house with loads of space both inside and out. Huge amounts of charm and historical features. Fun in the boat at the end of the garden which leads down to the River Lot. Tennis courts and swimming pool (which has a permanent hinged cover that you can raise).
This has been Claudine's family home for decades, so don't expect it be very modern, or clinical. Yet it has what you need for a good holiday. The pictures sum the house up well.
We had a fantastic time here. Claudine was there to greet us and give a tour, and was very patient with our terrible French. There were 8 of us, but the house and grounds are enormous so we really felt like we had a lot of room. We made good use of the outdoor areas, which are brilliant. A lot of BBQ, swimming, tennis and boating on the river. No day trips for us, just a very relaxing stay in a house that is quirky but loveable! We would definitely stay again.
De ontvangst was zeer warm en uitgebreid en het contact met de eigenaar tijdens ons verblijf was zeer positief. Naast de prachtige woning is het domein voorzien van een zeer ruim en goed verwarmd zwembad., een echte luxe voor de kinderen. Het goed verzorgde tennisplein is een grote meerwaarde. Het sanitair in de woning is wel aan een vernieuwing toe en ook het aanwezige kookmateriaal is eerder beperkt voor 12 gasten.
Conclusie: een uiterst geslaagde vakantie in een prachtig domein met karakter.

Karakteristieke, oude maar verzorgde woning! Erg schoon en erg geschikt voor grote gezelschappen. Schoon en warm zwembad en een goed onderhouden tennisbaan. Vissen is mogelijk maar aan de rivierzijde is wel veel begroeiing en de bomen in en onder water maken het vissen onder de eigen kant erg lastig.
We were given a very warm welcome and appreciated small touches like being given coffee, anti mosquito spray and citronella candles. The house and garden are beautiful and make for the perfect place to spend a relaxing week. Thank you
A large, spacious and well furnished property with plenty of room for all the family.
We had a wonderful week enjoying the facilities of the property. The tennis court was good and shaded by trees. The children enjoyed the swimming pool and we were able to watch them from under the vast shady area of a large adjacent barn. We took all our meals out under this barn roof and enjoyed table tennis and a barbecue. Close by were the interesting Bastide villages which we visited and also a local cycle track to the town of Villeneuve s/Lot. The property provided 4 cycles for our use. The owner was extremely welcoming and the gardener came three times in the week so if we had any problems he was able to help us. We would certainly recommend this property for anyone interested in visiting this area of France.
