We had a very enjoyable stay and Isabelle is an exceptional host! Beautiful location, calm and lovely garden and pool. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay at this very beautiful house. Isabelle and Jean Luc are charming hosts and greeted us with an aperitif and plate of charcuterie. This was a kind gesture … after our long drive.The house is an impressive converted barn, designed by Isabelle and Jen Luc. Each room has a unique feel, with tasteful artwork and furniture from different places around the world.The garden is like an enormous grassy courtyard … filled with plants, shrubs and pots. The centre-piece is a stunning swimming pool. We are a family of five, who were joined for a few days by elderly parents. Our ages ranged from teenagers to early 80s … and the house proved a hit with all of the family. My only “watch out” is the kitchen is quite small. So if you are cordon bleu chef, expecting to cook exquisite meals for your family every night … you’ll find the kitchen space smaller than what you might have back home. I’m not a cordon bleu chef … and found the kitchen absolutely fine for my family. But it is small (though well equipped) … given the vastness of the house. Isabelle provided some wine, beers, cakes and jams. She is an excellent host.

Very nice house with pretty grounds easily accessible to Bordeaux by tram (5 min drive to tram station). Isabelle greeted us when we arrived and provided helpful information. The neighborhood is convenient to get to other towns, not charming itself. A Nous Deaux is a very good restaurant 5 min away. We could take trips to the Arachon Bay and Saint Emilion each an hour or less.

Isabelle is very attentive but listing wasn’t accurate. Although the building where you stay is yours, she, her husband, and maintenance guy are around all the time. The main house is on the other side of the pool and they will be sitting in their lovely greenhouse from time to time saying hello and making sure you are ok. You will also be sharing the driveway with 3 other vehicles making parking an added stress. The property also has a gate that you have to pass thru and then wait for it to start closing to make sure the remote worked. At checkin, Isabelle said her listing stated there was a 50 euro per day charge to use the spa and that the pool was only heated from June through August. The listing did not say this. She did not charge us but was able to heat up the spa to 99 degree F. The towels providedwere old. Also not disclosed is that 3 of the bedrooms are only accessible from the outside. And two of those “don’t need airconditioning” but my friends chose to not to stay there as it was predicted to be warming up and the air doesn’t move in those two bedrooms. I did not actually need air conditioning in my room but there are no screens on the windows and I woke up 2 nights to mosquitoes buzzing my ear. The kitchen is like an office kitchen but it has all the stuff you need with mini appliances. It is actually a very nice property and we all would have enjoyed our stay more had the listing been more accurate and priced more appropriately for the deficiencies.
