We enjoyed a very relaxing stay at this beautiful villa with our little boy. Jill and Maurice (villa owners) were very welcoming and fantastic hosts. They greeted us on our arrival and had great... more |

A huge thank you to Jill and Maurice for their hospitality. A magnificent home with huge amounts of space for the grandchildren to play. We all loved the pool. We have never been to a holiday home before that was so complete, right down to the fresh lemons off the tree in the back garden. The fresh bread etc in the mornings from Pensac, a mere 5km away each morning, was well worth the effort. The biggest problem was the distance to attractions for the grandchildren, but we overcame that by staying in the villa/pool most of the time. Do go to St Emillion, it is a lovely town. Finally Maurice and Jill recommended Les Remparts restaurant in Gensac, owned by Steve and Veronica Parker, also Brits. It was so good we went back a 2nd and 3rd time. |
