BERGERAC in the South (25km) CHARMING GITE with swimming pool 11x5 m

We loved our stay at Jacques place, it’s situated in a quiet area surrounded by orchards and vineyards. The pool was such a highlight, very well maintained, the gite was lovely too, had everything we needed to make meals including a barbecue. The gite is also very well located, 10 minutes from Duras, 20 minutes from Eyment and 50 minutes to St Emillion. Jacques lives in the property next door and was super helpful, friendly and lovely to chat to, he also has a beautiful dog, Cleo, who made the trip for us! Would absolutely stay again and reccommend to anyone to stay.

Very peaceful area with excellent restaurants nearby.

Perfect countryside location for the two of us to relax. House fine and clean with comfy bed. The sofas were both very low as doubled as extra beds but not very comfortable or easy to get up from. Always plenty of hot water though the shower only had a hand held as the jets and overhead don't work - is a bit cramped as need to use shower curtain because shower door doesn't shut. Plenty of kitchen utensils, pots etc. The internet was very hit and miss but not unusual for rural France. Same for the phone signal - my wife and I have ee and O2 but pot luck as which may work at any given time. TV complex to work out and need to employ 2 x hand helds to get any programmes. The air conditioning is excellent. The French do seem to like small square pillows rather than our larger (better) rectangular ones. The pool was very clean and though rendered sides and floor rather than tiled is a very good size. There are 4 very good quality and surprisingly comfortable pool loungers and a good quality large parasol. Also another shower and toilet in the pool area so no need to go back to the house. The owner was unobtrusive but friendly - his limited English matched my limited French but we had several good conservations. Potential problem if not a dog lover as owner has 6-7 month lurcher puppy - very friendly but hyperactive and demanding for attention. Lovely nature as am sure will calm down in time but if you don't like dogs you'd find her extremely intrusive. Loved our time here overall.

The gite is in a very peaceful and beautiful location, surrounded by orchards and vineyards. The gite is equipped with everything you need and has a lovely pool. Jacques is very helpful, kind and friendly. A very enjoyable holiday.
