This property is in a gorgeous setting - rolling wooded hills. Very peaceful and scenic. 8 women of a certain age, from USA and Canada, spent 9 nights (there were six of us after the first 2 nights). We rented both the bigger cottage and the small one - after there were 6 of us, we could all have easily fit in the big one. Every room is thoughtfully decorated and the bathrooms are incredible. So nice to have good water pressure and lots of hot water and toilets and showers that work properly. All appliances were in working order and everything was spotless. There were plenty of linens and towels. Pascale has three little dogs that are delightful - we all enjoyed them! A nice welcome basket awaited us in each cottage, and I cannot think of a single utensil or item we needed and could not find. The real gift, though, is Pascale. She is so warm and friendly and helpful, I feel like I have a new friend. She went out of her way to pick me up in Brive to take me to the rental agency, because only the Hertz agency has vans with automatic transmission, and it isn't near the train station. Prior to that, she made many phone calls on my behalf finding just that vehicle to rent, and helping me get it booked. She then led us all to Souillac, where we picked up the rest of our people and their luggage, Then, on our last day, she did it all again, even though she needed to prepare the cottages for 12 arriving guests that afternoon. She also arranged for an appointment, and drove, and acted as interpreter with a physician when one of our party was ill. The dinner she prepared for us the first night we arrived was so good, and a friendly, welcoming evening was had under the hazelnut trees in the yard. Delicious food and great company. If you get a chance to have brunch at the castle whose owner she knows, in St. Genies, it is an unforgettable experience. The pool house has to be seen to be believed. It is like having a whole cottage beside the pool, (sans bedroom), and our group ate there almost every night. The pool is wonderful, warm and sparkling clean. I could go on and on, but you can see that 5 stars aren't enough - I would give 10 stars, and I can't wait to return! Thank you, Pascale!
