The cottage has been set up in the old habitable part of the barn built in the 19th century. Stephen carried out all the work.

The space is large and authentic with an extension onto the sun terrace. It offers the opportunity to watch the seasons pass by in the valley or count the stars at night when the sky is clear.

We have taken great care to make the cottage pleasant in both summer and winter. Personally, we find it to be the most charming in the autumn when it is bathed in golden light.
It was built of old stone, it keeps cool in hot weather.
On days when the cold weather sets in, we light the wood stove before your arrival so that you can sit by the fire as soon as you arrive.

The land around the cottage extends to just over 0.8 ha. It is not fenced. The large meadow in front is a refuge from nature, it is not mowed. You can relax with your feet in the grass in the shade of the walnut tree where we have also set up a small table. A small square of aromatic herbs is at your disposal if you wish to enhance your grills.

The cottage is always prepared before your arrival. We clean them by us between each reservation to ensure your comfort.
The bed in the large bedroom measures 160x200. A wooden cot can be installed there at your request. The small bedroom with two single beds has no windows, just ventilation.

We do our best to equip the cottage. If you are missing something - we live right next door.
Please note that the cottage is independent and there are no immediate neighbors (the first one is 60m away).

The cottage is located 1.5 km from the village with a grocery store-bread depot that is also a tobacco shop and post office. There is a bike and canoe rental point, a waterfront restaurant and a wine cellar with a terrace set up in the old commercial cellar.
There is a bakery in the village next door (open Sunday morning) 3 kilometres from the gîte - you can walk there along a path between the walnut trees and the vineyards with a great view of the village church.
There are markets organised in the surrounding communes (in the mornings):
Monday in Castillon-la-Bataille
Tuesday in Libourne and Sauveterre de Guyenne
Friday in Monségur
Saturday in Ste-Foy-la Grande and La Réole
Sunday in Issigeac and Libourne

In summer there are night markets, flea markets, river festivals, jazz, swing and organ festivals and. village festivals, the battle show of Castillon, the show at the castle in Duras.
We are not far from historic villages: St.Emilion, Eymet, Issigeac, Castelmoron d'Albret, Monségur, Saint Macaire and so many others.
And since we live in a wine region you can discover our local producers (small and large).

Autumn is harvest time. It is a very special atmosphere in the region. In October, the vine leaves change colours and colour the landscape with yellow, orange and red. It is the time of morning mists that wander around the river to finally dissipate in the sun's rays. There is a tour of the artists' studios in the greater Libourne region.

Winter and spring are quieter. But there are always events, workshops (I'm going to offer you ceramic workshops myself), shows. And the doors of wine castles are open for wine tourism.
And then.. you can very well snuggle up by the fire with a book, herbal tea or a glass of wine and enjoy the slowness.

Looking forward to meeting you,
Izabela and Stephen
