Had lovely relaxing holiday.House was beautiful a real delight. So peaceful. Lovely location to visit bigger towns. Bakers 5 mins drive in Verdille. Super U very close by in Rouiliac every thing you need there. We loved having evening strolls around Vinerville. Had a few problems but they were dealt with promptly and owners and Reg were very helpful. |
