We had a fantastic holiday here - the house had all the benefits, and none of the disadvantages, of the fact that the owners normally live here. Everything was well-equipped and in good working order, with a tasteful blend of modernity and some lovely old-style furniture, so it felt homely in the best way. Sometimes in an owner's own property, there can be problems with owners leaving their own possessions lying around in drawers and wardrobes, but there was no such problem here.
Communication with Angie leading up to the holiday, and during, was excellent - she always replied promptly and helpfully (even though I sometimes didn't match her promptness, sorry about that!)
The garden and terraces allowed us to really enjoy the good weather, the neighbourhood was pretty and tranquil, and we felt very relaxed the whole time.
In the wider area, there was a good range of things to do - maybe not as much as in some parts of France, but certainly enough to keep us busy for a week, with two teenagers and a young adult. Would particularly recommend Lac de Gurson (swimming and canoeing in lake) ; Chateau de Duras (great guided tour, at no extra charge) ; and Chateau la Tour de Chollet (small-scale vineyard, with guided tours with a personal touch, and fine wine-tasting session to finish).
Many thanks for a great holiday!
