The house was clean, comfortable and furnished with all what you would need to feel at home. While you definitely need a car for transport, the house is ideally located for quiet and rest in the middle of a tiny village surrounded by vineyards. However, you have to keep in mind that there are very few footpaths around and you have to walk on the normal roads if you feel like exploring the area afoot. The host was very friendly and helpful with clear communications beforehand about how to contact them and how to get to the lodging.

We had three very enjoyable weeks here. Jean-Luc is a lovely host, discreet but available and very helpful when required. The property was clean and well presented and as described. The 'little touches' such as the very useful notelets emphasised the care that has gone into the presentation of the property. There is a lot of space and the summer kitchen and covered external space are excellent options in addition to the garden space where there is also shade available. You have the option of a completely restful holiday or, as we prefer, something a little more active in exploring the region and its culture. We made full use of the 72 hour Bordeaux City Pass and could easily have spent more time there. We found it best to take the train from St Andre de Cubzac to Bordeaux, an easy 25 minutes or so. Alternatively there is the park and ride system using the trams. Driving in Bordeaux is horrendous. We dropped our son at St Jean railway station and needed the 3 hours we had in hand!
