L'allegato Mesnil, vecchia casa ristrutturata

A lovely cosy cottage that has all modern features. Our hosts Didierre and Alain were warm and welcoming. Centrally located to major wineries and the lovely medieval towns of St Emillion and Cadillac.

Bordeaux in the autumn (fall) is absolutely beautiful.

If we were visiting this area again we would love to return and stay.

My husband and I, celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary, chose this Bordeaux Stone French Farmhouse for the last of four areas in France to visit. We were definitely not disappointed. We were greeted by Quitterie who walked us through the very spacious 2 story property that included all the comforts that we would enjoy at our own home in the USA - First floor included a well stocked kitchen with stove/oven, dishwasher, cooking and dining ware, adjoining breakfast nook, laundry room and a separate toilet facility, a spacious living room with a massive stone chimney fireplace that spanned upward to second floor ceiling that would be welcoming during a cold weather visit, comfortable seating and an adjoining dining area all opening to a lovely walled shaded lawn sitting area outside. The Second floor included a loft queen bedroom overlooking the living room and two additional bedrooms (one twin and one queen) down the hall, a

tub/ shower bathroom with

vanity/basin area and a separate toilette. The location allowed us to enjoy walks down a fairly quiet road in the early mornings and evenings, drive to enjoy old French Architecture, vineyard after vineyard, and an Abbey built in the 11th Century that is under restoration.

We would certainly recommend this property to all of our friends and would enjoy returning if the opportunity ever arises. Quitterie and her husband with their predominantly French language were able to adequately communicate with my husband and I with our predominantly English language in order to make our stay a success.

This is a very extensive gite, with a fully equipped kitchen and breakfast area as well as a large living space with a solid wooden table, and room to dine or lounge outside. A very characterful conversion in an idyllic rural setting, we found this the perfect place to experience Bordeaux for the first time, and so much more relaxing than being cooped up in a hotel room. We had bikes with us and were able to store them very conveniently and securely.

For two it was positively palatial and we would return with friends or relations should the opportunity arise. There is only one bathroom, albeit a very good one, but there is a downstairs loo as well. The two bedrooms are very comfy and have plenty of storage. The third double bed is situated on a large gallery above the living space but can be easily screened off.

The owners are very friendly and there is really nothing missing. There is even an organic vineyard just up the road! We would recommend this gite without hesitation. Merci Quitterie et Alain!

Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieter.

Ein guter startort für Fahradtouren und für die besichtigung der Stadt Bordeaux. Inmitten von Weinbérgen und Weingüten.

Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen.

Fantastic house however if they adbertised use of the pool it would have been rated 5. Star
