If you like an attractive garden filled with birdsong in a peaceful setting, attached to a well renovated house and cared for by a genial host, ever attentive without being intrusive, then this might be the place for you. Oh, and did I mention the immaculate heated pool set in a securely fenced environment to keep children and pets safe, Don’t think I mentioned the petting zoo attached by way of a field at the rear of the garden, completely separate for those who don’t care for animals. There, the four tame sheep can be hand fed, chickens run to eat spare bread and salad while the four geese wander over to share any treats that are going.. if this sounds idyllic, this was our experience.
Nearby Montpon Menesterol has a weekly market and a couple of supermarkets for supplies as well as a a riverside water park. Nearby Villefranche de Lonchat offers a small bastide to visit complete with evening markets and world famous St Emilion is a great day out. If you tire of the heated pool, there is a leisure lake nearby offering water sports and a beach complete with a cafe and a walk all round the lake.
Buckets Auberge with its French chef owner in Montazeau offers great value and delicious food,, a favourite with the locals.
We cannot praise this listing highly enough and should point out that the delightful owner has not redone the photographs, so if you want great value and a wonderful holiday, we would strongly recommend this great place.
