We spent two weeks at le Pigeonnier with our family (two adults, three children) and very much enjoyed our stay.
The description and the pictures on the website are accurate and give a good impression of the house. The house is spacious. All rooms are nicely furbished and in good condition. The house has all amenities which are needed for a comfortable stay. The bed rooms have nice comfy beds and sufficient storage space. The bathrooms have an average standard and were clean. The kitchen has all necessary appliances and has more equipment than usual in holiday houses. Wifi is working well. The terrace has a nice view over the property. There is a BBQ which we used frequently.
The property is spacious and offers many possibilities. The large swimming pool is great. We also enjoyed the table tennis, volley ball net and space on the lawns to play various games. We were free to pick fruits from the trees which we enjoyed very much.
The owners are very hospitable and friendly. Not only did we get a very interesting tour of the vineyard. We also received many tips, advice and recommendations for things to do and to see.
Overall we can recommend Chateau de la Gontrie for a great holiday in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
