Wooden villa with lodge, terrace on stilts, swimming pool, exceptional vineyard views, 3-star rating

What we loved about our stay at the cottage, was the idyllic views across a vineyard covered landscape, beautiful sunsets, sitting on the quiet peaceful veranda and taking in the views, the privacy that the cottage and outdoor space offers as it is not overlooked at all, cooling off in the swimming pool, cooking on the BBQ in the evenings, the air conditioning unit in the lounge which catered to the whole cottage, the powerful shower, dishwasher and washing machine, a well equipped kitchen with all the essentials needed, and enjoyed the space within the cottage which for a couple, was an adequate amount of space to sleep, eat and relax. A few things could have made our trip that bit better, such as a more comfortable double bed (ideally for a couple a larger bed too, as this is a standard double) with a deeper, slightly softer mattress and a bed frame that does not creek. We would have appreciated it if all cobwebs and spiders in the cottage were vacuumed away ahead of our arrival. The owners could have done a check of the whole property ahead of our arrival to ensure everything was being maintained. We discovered a wasp nest in the top of the outdoor parasol. The freezer draw could not be opened due to a broken handle. The television in the lounge intermittently didn’t respond. We experienced a power cut which we suspected may be due to a bulb blowing over the BBQ. The first time we used the BBQ the thick layer of burnt on grease and drippings on the bottom of the BBQ burst into flames and burnt our dinner which was a frightening experience more than anything else; we feel the BBQ could have been cleaned ahead of our visit. The outdoor sensor lighting didn’t work reliably. There were no instructions to use the oven so we were unable to use this during our visit (we tried to find an online manual with no success); a simple set of written instructions from the owners would have been appreciated, as even if written in French we could have translated them. The end of the hand held shower hose leaked. The toilet seat was loose. We quickly learnt to keep doors shut to keep out mosquitos, which were rampant during our stay. A car is essential. We would only stay again if the comfort of the double bed was improved, as for us, a good nights sleep is essential to optimising the enjoyment of our stay. Pierre and Melanie were quick to respond and resolve any matters we raised during our trip, which we appreciated. Overall we loved our stay at the cottage.

We will enjoyed our stay at this property. It was a lovely property in beautiful surrounds. We would definitely recommend.

We loved our stay in the lodge. Its really well equipped, the decking makes it feel really spacious and we had everything we needed including air con and music. It was so lovely sitting outside looking at the view of the vineyards and great to have the pool and garden. The hosts were really welcoming, we appreciated their homegrown tomatoes and the village shop was brilliant for bread and croissants. We found the beds really comfortable and all had a great relaxing time. The beaches / lake nearby are good for swimming with the kids and the fishing villages provided some lovely seafood meals. Of course the wine was pretty good too from the local producers. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would love to return.
