Old house, charm, tranquility, authenticity. Serves eight

We rented the house as a base during a meditation retreat in nearby Temple sur Lot. It is a wonderful home, very comfy, lots of places to relax and read a book. Kitchen was well-stocked. The host was communicative, easy-going and accommodating. Because we traveled in the winter, we didn’t get to take advantage of the pool but I imagine that’s a fantastic seasonal perk. The only less than stellar note is that the WiFi is subpar. The thick stone walls preclude good connection in certain rooms, for example there was zero WiFi (or cell signal) in the bedroom with the shower where I slept or in the kitchen. This was a drag as I explicitly asked before booking about the strength of the WiFi signal because I had to work during the evening and be on Zoom calls. The host assured me that while there was no fiber optic there was decent coverage and that absolutely was not my experience. When there was coverage it was slow. An upgrade in the WiFi would truly make this listing perfect. I would suggest if going in the winter that you bring hot water bottles. Ours came in handy because although there is heat, the mattress was very cold. That being said, we enjoyed the stay so much and would recommend it easily.

Exactly as expected from the advert, this house was full of charm and located in a very tranquil part of the Lot et Garonne countryside. Francoise and her family welcomed us on arrival, taking the time to show us around the property and grounds, as well as everything we needed to know. They stocked the fridge with soft drinks, a bottle of beer and delicious local wine and some local foie gras, which was a pleasant surprise! The furnishing of the property was beautiful and during a week of high 30s, the swimming pool was bliss! When we had a little concern over the filter of the pool, they were prompt in their response and immediately sent someone over to check it out. The property (equipped with alarm) and its grounds are so beautiful. The neighbour close-by is a farmer raising hens and growing fresh vegetables. We bought some local produce from him (tomatoes, courgettes) as well as eggs from his hens and a chicken he prepared for us that day! Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed feeding the hens leftovers from our breakfast! The family also kindly left us a list of local shops and points of interest to visit. We especially enjoyed our visit to Monpazier (an hour drive away).

We were a family of 4 and very much enjoyed our stay at Floirac, a peaceful place overlooking fields and woods. The house, garden and pool were well-kept and secluded (though with some kind neighbours nearby who lent us some charcoal for the barbecue when we had run out). We particularly enjoyed picking the fruit from the fig and plum trees in the garden. The house was well equipped with table tennis and bicycles, though perhaps one or two more sun-loungers would have meant we could all lie in the garden together. We visited the nut farm, plum/prune farm, went canoeing and visited pretty villages for a mediaeval festival and night market. Thank you Roger for your warm welcome to your family home.

Genial proprietor – goes out of his way to help you. The property is a delightful, slightly formal/sophisticated and immaculate historic house at Floirac. The adjacent protected pool nestles behind walls, completely private and is a veritable ‘sun trap’. The accommodation is for six in three bedrooms; the best feature is the very large covered terrace with inset barbecue chiminee. Delightful alfresco dining even if it’s raining! Quiet hamlet, 10 minutes from the charming village of Prayssas and less than ½hr. from the delightful historic Villeneuve Sur Lot. Merci beaucoup pour votre chaleureux acceuil.
