Escape to this luxury chateau for an idyllic getaway, nestled in the hills of the Entre Deux Mers vineyards. You'll find this picturesque 18th-century castle in expansive private grounds, surrounded by lush greenery and complete with a large Roman-style pool and plenty of terraces where you can soak up the sun. Though we're sure you'll be spending most of your time outdoors, you'll be equally impressed by the interior of this home, which brings together a quirky and cool mix of traditional style and contemporary chic. Brimming with character, many of the castle's original features have been retained, with the rustic fixtures and finishes adding warmth to the space. Wake up to a continental buffet-style breakfast every morning or ask your host to arrange a private chef to make hosting dinner parties a breeze. Spend your days swimming under the trees, or playing billiards in the games room. Rent some bikes and head into the quaint village of Arbis to explore the Gironde and sample the local wines.

This elegant home is a superb base for large groups. It sits in the Gironde department, in a position ideal for visiting both Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion, though you may find yourself entirely content to stay put. The home is set within 52 acres of grounds with walking and jogging trails, and your host can even arrange for you to go horse-riding. The estate also boasts its own vineyard, so wine tasting is a must. We love the swimming pool and the terrace for alfresco dining, and the tennis court will be popular with more active guests. This is a traditional home so the decor won’t suit those seeking a sleek, modern space.

Nestled inside its very own vineyard, this luxurious château will be a favourite for wine-lovers and francophiles alike. The regal honey-coloured exterior, with its purple adornment of wisteria, dazzles immediately as you enter the grounds. Inside, the home has been lovingly restored and the rooms are light and spacious. Modern touches and elegant furnishings blend with classical remnants. We especially love the claw foot bath, which will make for a dramatic soak. However, the standout feature of this home is its idyllic surroundings. Watch from your window the workings of the organic, bio-dynamic vineyard and sample the well-known Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. This Chateau provides a perfect base to explore this captivating region. Saint-Émilion is situated just three kilometres away with its golden-cobbled streets providing a delightful maze to get lost in. If you’re craving the hustle and bustle of a more well-renowned city, Bordeaux can be reached via the coast in a little over an hour.

Enjoy a tranquil stay at this peaceful French sanctuary, located just a short drive away from Bordeaux city centre, as well as all the beautiful vineyards that make this area so renowned with wine lovers. This home has it all – modern and bright interiors, fabulous facilities and plenty of space for the whole family to kick back and relax. Oh, and did we mention it has a gorgeous outdoor pool, too?

Wake up every morning and enjoy a coffee on your outdoor lounge area, while you watch the sunrise over the French countryside. Cook up a delicious French breakfast of crepes and hot chocolate and eat around your grand dining setup. Cool off from the afternoon heat with some lengths of the pool, or splash around with the kids and have some fun. Then as the evenings roll in, have a sundowner around the dining table on the terrace, and spend long nights chatting away with your loved ones.

The home is located on the right bank of the Garonne in Bouliac, often called the ‘balcony of Bordeaux’, boasting thriving markets, posh restaurants and ancient architecture. Head into nearby Bordeaux, a stunning city that’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with lots of historical sights to see and a vibrant atmosphere.

This newly renovated apartment in central Bordeaux, home to largest urban World Heritage Site, is perfect for couples and small families. Cute and quirky, this fabulous French home features a lovely, light filled open plan kitchen cum dining cum living room characterised by pops of red, contrasting coloured wall paper.  You’ll love waking up in your idiosyncratically decorated room for two, and delighting in a rain shower before breakfast in the white tiled kitchen. Read, relax or watch the world go by from the sofa next to the window while making a plan for the day. This home’s superb location in the semi-pedestrian Saint-Pierre district, the city’s historic heart, means you’ll be wandering the cobbled streets and stumbling across picturesque squares in no time. 

A stone’s throw from the best Bordeaux has to offer by way of museums and cultural heritage sites as well as restaurants and bars, why not plot a course through the Place du Parlement, the Place du Palais or the Place de la Bourse, before visiting CAPC, the musée d'art contemporain, Saint-André Cathedral, and the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux? You won’t want to miss out on sampling both Bordelais premiers crus and cuisine and vibrant Saint-Pierre hosts a sassy mix of traditional French kitchens, experimental neobistros, creative fusion restaurants, food trucks and barista-run coffee shops, a gastronomic scene that is sure to impress even the most discerning of bon vivants.

Rooftop Terrace

It's not every day you find a place with two outdoor spaces in the heart of a city. This gem of a home is putting an end to the idea that being in the city centre automatically means forfeiting space. Here, location, style, comfort, and luxury have beautifully been combined to bring you a showstopper. 

There's a lot to love here, from the contemporary interior to the fantastic location, but the outdoor space takes the cake. There's something wonderful about waking up in the morning and stepping straight outside to feel the sun on your face, and here, you get that small but special treat from each bedroom. Invigorating fresh coffees in the sun are the perfect way to start the day. Whether you're on the rooftop terrace or the patio, you'll feel a far cry from the hustle and bustle of Bordeaux city centre, despite being close to all the action.

Exploring Bordeaux comes easy here. You're just a five-minute walk from the tram, which takes you all across the city. Or, you can take to the wine metropolis on foot – you're just 1.5km away from the historic centre. There, you can take a walk along the famous promenade which is lined by restaurants and bars, discover the city's museums, and spot some notable sights, like the 11th-century Bordeaux Cathedral. 

However you spend your day, you'll love coming home to your bright, welcoming home. Take the spiral stairs up to the rooftop terrace, armed with a bottle of local wine, to watch the sky envelop into hues of reds and oranges at dusk. When dinner rolls around, your kitchen is perfectly equipped for whipping up meals at home. But if you don't feel like cooking, there are several brilliant restaurants nearby, ready to welcome you. 

City Tropicale

Balcony

Combining French Regency style with sleek modern accents, this elegant apartment in the heart of the Golden Triangle is an excellent launch-pad for discovering the very best of Bordeaux. Wake up with an espresso and a buttery croissant in the opulent living space – we loved the double height ceilings, parquet flooring and triptych of French doors. Recline on the plush sofa with a crossword puzzle until you’re ready to take the city by storm. 

Spend sunny afternoons strolling around the nearby Jardin Public before nipping into the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design. Visit the iconic Place de la Bourse, treat yourself to a shopping spree on the Rue Sainte-Catherine and admire the 15th-century Porte Cailhau. In the early evening, after a bite to eat in a revered brasserie, head home with a bottle of the region’s famous wine and enjoy a glass or two on your private balcony as the sky turns violet. 

The Régence

Enjoy good times and quality wine with this modern apartment as your comfortable base in Bordeaux. Located in the city's historical centre, the space mixes modernity with old-fashioned charm through a combination of classic and new home furnishings. 

While the food and drink scene in Bordeaux is what makes the city so special, this spot gives you the option of cooking up your own delicious meals in the large kitchen and dining area. And then, after a long day of soaking up the city sights, why not soak in the bathtub with a glass of local wine in hand? Utter bliss. 

From this central home, you'll be within convenient walking distance of the city centre's shops, bars and restaurants. Meanwhile, the banks of the River Garonne, Place St Colombe, Rue Sainte Catherine and Place du Palais are all just a few steps away.

Situated in the Golden Triangle, Bordeaux’s most prestigious district, this apartment is a refined and peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. Inside, it’s all parquet floors, full-length windows and timeless neutral shades. Begin your mornings in the light-filled dining area with buttery croissants picked up from the nearby boulangerie before nursing a café au lait on the sumptuous leather sofa. 

Spend afternoons ticking off the city’s most iconic locations – admire the masonry of the Cathédrale St-André, a Unesco World Heritage Site, just footsteps from your building. Visit the unique Miroir d'Eau and the ground-breaking La Cité du Vin, then stop for a bite to eat in a belle époque brasserie. 

Head home in the evening to put together a cheese board in your fully-equipped kitchen and reflect on the day’s events over a bottle of the region’s wine in the sophisticated living area. When it’s time to call it a night, beds dressed in crisp white linens ensure a deep and restful slumber.

This home is situated in the heart of the Chartrons district, just two minutes from Rue Notre Dame and its many antique shops. On the Garonne banks, Bordeaux's Chartrons district is a sought-after area. You’ll find here the luxury residences of former wine and antique merchants. The neighbourhood is well connected too, and it couldn’t be simpler to get around the city. Tram line B is 50 metres away, while tram line C (200 metres) has services to Bordeaux Station, taking around fifteen minutes.

Back at this abode, relax on the terrace with a glass of local wine or unwind on the sofa in the first-floor open-plan living space. We love the mix of industrial vibe (think pallet box coffee tables and polished concrete ceilings), which contrasts with the vintage prints. Rustle up some le magret de canard grille (grilled duck) in the modern kitchen, and enjoy it with some cèpes en persillade (porcini mushrooms in parsley) at your dining table. This home allows friends, family or work colleagues to live like a local.

If you’re looking for a countryside retreat with a difference, then this converted windmill could be the one. Perched on Lot-et-Garonne’s highest point, you’ll be treated to views of vineyards and rolling hills from the windmill and its private terrace. This place is strictly for adults only, so is perfect for a romantic getaway or wellness escape, although the layout here won’t suit everyone – the home is set over five storeys, with steep, narrow stairs between the floors. With walking trails on the doorstep and wineries nearby, there’s plenty to keep you occupied. And if you fancy a day trip, the riverside town of Eymet is an eighteen-minute drive away, and Medieval Bergerac can be reached in thirty-two minutes.

Doze in the sunshine and let the scent of peonies, magnolias and roses drift over you on a gentle breeze. This idyllic Dordogne home is a haven, set in a valley of rolling countryside. When you’re not stretched out on a sun lounger, you’ll be swimming laps in the solar-heated salt-water pool, and listening to the fountain trickle softly in the background. Tuck into alfresco feasts on the terrace – there’s a barbecue and pizza oven to make cooking as easy as can be. When the sun has set, settle around the fire pit with a bottle of local wine, and sit out late spotting constellations in the clear sky above. 

The house itself is wonderful. The contemporary living space is the heart of the home, with high ceilings and plenty of light. There’s enough room for everyone to gather together here, though there are also peaceful corners for those quieter moments – we love the reading nook. 

In addition to its wonderful charm and beauty, this home is in an excellent location. Hop on bikes to cycle into the village for a coffee and a bite to eat in a cafe-bar, or to shop locally. The Friday morning market in nearby Ribérac is one of the best in the area – head there to pick up local produce for dinner. Aubeterre-sur-Donne, one of France’s prettiest villages, is just a short drive away. There’s so much to see and do here, you’ll want to return time and again. 


Peony Blushes

Located in the Bassin d’Arcachon, this charming home sits like a gateway to the refreshing beauty of southwest France. And with views across the surrounding trees, this is the kind of space that has all the qualities of a sanctuary in the woods. 

Stepping inside, you’ll find the gentle lighting and artistic presence of this home provides an instant sense of ease and calm. It’s the perfect place to let go of to–do lists and embrace the simple magic of coastal living. 

Open the doors from the living room and you’ll find the outdoor terrace is perfectly poised for relaxing mornings with a coffee or dreamy sunset drinks. From here, the space opens itself up to slow days reading on the sofa, cooking and sharing atmospheric candle–lit dinners. 

Outside, it’s just a five–minute drive into the centre of Arcachon where the Atlantic Ocean awaits. This is the ideal setting to connect with the vibrant beachside atmosphere, sample the famous oysters and savour the views from Dune of Pilat – just a five–minute drive away. Golfers will also love the close proximity to Golf d’Arcachon – just a three–minute drive away. 

The Blue View

DVD Library

Few things sounds more romantic than a cottage situated in the middle of wine country, where the endless vineyards sprawl and birds chirp. Perfect for a long-awaited holiday away from the kids or a getaway for a budding romance, the home is small but its surroundings are vast and baby-blue French shutters are ever-so charming. Escape right out to the private gardens from the pastel bedroom. After days lounging by the pool or drifting in the nearby river, take the bikes to one of two nearby towns to explore gothic churches and to pick up local delicacies like fresh truffles and a bottle (or two) of wine for enjoyment on the stone terrace. Intimacy is the emphasis here, and we can guarantee this home as a perfect start to a French-inspired love story.

Nestled away deep within vineyard country between the Garonne and Dordogne, Monségur is a quintessential bastide town full of medieval architecture and this impressive home is a suitably characterful place to stay if you're planning a visit.

It's a more recent addition to the locale than many of the nearby buildings, but there are still a few centuries of heritage in the walls and this sense of history has been expertly retained during a recent renovation, which prioritised traditional methods and materials. Take a wander throughout the ground floor and you'll spot antique furnishings, period features and elegant decorations evocative of years gone by. At the same time, guests are also treated to all of the amenities to be expected in the 21st century – we're talking sleek kitchens and bathrooms, plus plenty of tech and gizmos.

We've been saving the best until last, however. Out in the enclosed garden, it's pretty clear to see where long summer afternoons will be spent – flitting between the cooling waters of the swimming pool and the surrounding loungers. Of course, if the weather's on your side during your stay, there are plenty of wineries, abbeys and walking routes to explore in the surrounding Entre-Deux-Mers region, as well. The city of Bordeaux only takes an hour to reach by car, too.

Words of Wisdom

Ski Storage / Boot Room

With views overlooking a golf course, easy access to Lacanau Lake and the beach at Lacanau-Ocean – both just four kilometres away, albeit in opposite directions – there really is something for everyone here. But, if you’re not strolling the fairways or splashing in the sea, it’s easy to relax back at home. With plenty of space to spread out and pine trees framing the villa, privacy is guaranteed. Add to that the private pool, sun-kissed terraces and opportunities for alfresco family meals, and this modern home will surely tick a lot of your holiday boxes. 

Summertime Soul

Tucked away in the Cote de Bourg area just north of Bordeaux, this fairytale 19th-century chartreuse overlooks beautiful vineyards and the rolling landscape beyond. The seclusion makes this a tranquil getaway – especially when swimming in the private pool or enjoying the ample seating outside – but with this being an active vineyard, it's also a unique way to experience the French countryside. The interior, all rustic rafters and palatial furnishings, might not be everyone's cup of tea, but there's plenty of space and charm here. It is worth noting that there are only three bathrooms to share between fourteen guests. The country house is bold and full of character, and the pool table is a nice touch too.

Single-Level Home

Located in the heart of Bordeaux's beautiful old town, this apartment embodies the class, style, and chicness of this city. The old stone building is the perfect first impression of Bordeaux, and stepping inside the apartment only confirms that this place is a gem of a find.

We love the classic details here – the original stone brick wall, the quintessentially French windows and the frame around the mirror. It's met with a modern design style that beautifully encapsulates the city – classic yet youthful. Your balcony offers a view of the street below, a lovely spot for enjoying a fresh cup of coffee and engaging in everyone's favourite past-time, people-watching. 

When it comes to seeing the city, you couldn't ask for a better location. You're a mere 200 metres from the lively Rue Sainte Catherine, the city's main artery, bursting with boutiques and shops. You're also steps away from Place Fernand Lafargue, lined with cafes and eateries. In such a fantastic location, seeing the city's many historical sights and points of interest comes with ease.

After a day of exploring, you can easily make your way back to your apartment to relax before heading out for dinner. You'll love sipping on a local bottle of wine (when in Bordeaux) and snacking on olives around the industrial chic-style table, with the warm-toned light fixtures setting the tone. 

Sweet Drops

Access to Beach

Whether you’re in search of a lakeside adventure or a slow-paced French escape, this home invites you to enjoy it all from its privileged position on the sandy shores of Lac d’Hourtin-Carcans. 

From leisurely strolls along the promenade to wild swimming and hiking in nearby Étang de Lacanau, you’ll find every sense serenaded by the natural charm of this location. And for those in search of the refreshing spirit of the Atlantic sea, it’s just a five-minute drive to Carcans beach or a little further on to Lacanau. 

Wherever the day takes you, this home provides a refreshingly simple space to relax and unwind. Enjoy the beautiful views whilst sipping drinks on the terrace, savour the comfort of cooking with fresh local produce in the fully equipped kitchen and come together for heart-warming evenings around the table – accompanied by a glass (or two) of local wine. 

Golden Lake

La Belle Vie has been around for well over a hundred years. No fakes, no approximations, just old-style charm and the kind of luxury only the nineteenth-century French nobles could conjure up. Mostly furnished with antiques in various states of refurbishment, this chateau is a walk through the history of comfort — perfect for a large family gathering with older children, or a luxurious base to explore the  the world-famous vineyards of the Aquitaine region. Some off you will start your days with a brisk walk around the estate, and some with a proper morning swim in the private pool. There are plenty of spots to socialise both indoors and outdoors, so reconnecting will be easy even when you're not gathering for one of your fancy meals. And if you're travelling with discerning guests, the host is more than happy to organise a variety of extra services that will turn your stay into a proper five-stay experience. Think private chefs, maid service, babysitting, fridge filling, and more. 

La Belle Vie

Soak up the rustic charm of this beautiful home, filled with character and all the luxuries you might want from a stay in France. Go for a float in the private pool or get some remote work done at the dedicated desk. Who says you can't be productive on holiday? The garden is perfect for sitting out under the trees with a drink, and the terrace is perfect for alfresco dining. Get a good night's sleep in the round bed upstairs, and relax in one of many shaded and sun-kissed spots outside.

Enjoy picnics by the banks of the Dordogne and strolls through the markets of Périgord. If you're looking for somewhere to eat, there are plenty of options a short drive away, whatever you're craving. Enjoy hours of exploration whether you're a hiker, a cyclist, or even a sailor. In the summer months, rent a kayak or canoe and traverse the Dordogne river. In the evening, the plush sofas of the two living areas make for cosy places to gather and discuss a busy day.

Bliss by the Pool

Nestled in the district of Cassy, just 1.5 km from the sea, this large and beautifully renovated single-family house offers an enchanting escape for your holiday. With a well-kept garden adorned with trees and a sparkling swimming pool, this tranquil oasis provides the perfect backdrop for relaxation and rejuvenation. Step into the spacious and bright living area, flooded with natural light, and enjoy the panoramic views through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The fully equipped kitchen invites you to unleash your culinary creativity. With five comfortable bedrooms and stylish bathrooms, each featuring modern comforts, you'll find a peaceful sanctuary to rest after exploring the nearby attractions. Whether you choose to bask in the sun on the large terrace, take a refreshing dip in the pool, or explore the sandy beaches of Plage de Cassy and Cap Ferret nearby, this hidden gem offers everything you need for a delightful holiday experience.

Seaside Retreat

Experience a truly unique stay at this beautiful 17th-century country house, nestled in the heart of France’s fabled Wine Country. Surrounded by picturesque villages, vineyards, and rolling green hills, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a painting. 

This home is ideal for groups of friends, with the house separated into three parts, offering everyone privacy as well as a chance to come together and enjoy communal meals and games. As soon as you arrive, you’ll be seduced by the imposing exterior, set against the lush greenery of the garden. With a glistening pool, sun loungers and plenty of alfresco dining spots, there’s no doubt you’ll pass entire days without ever feeling the need to venture beyond the walls of the garden. 

Come inside and you’ll find yourself embraced by the warm and welcoming ambience, with stone walls, wooden ceiling beams and original fireplaces. There’s a huge country kitchen here, perfect for rustling up delectable French classics, and the guest cottage boats an additional kitchen. The whole party will enjoy nights of restful sleep and sweet dreams in the plush bedrooms, spread across the three buildings – in the mornings, welcome each new day with freshly brewed coffee on the terrace. 

Outside your country gem, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to gorgeous places to discover – from the local village of Gensac to the famous Saint Emilion, and of course, you may want to take a day trip to Bordeaux and Arcachon. 

Poet's Reverie 

Desk / Workplace

Over the rolling hills, nestled between the grapevines, rests this enchanting 19th-century chateau in the heart of Bordeaux's wine region. Epitomising old-world romance experience an authentic taste of France while staying in luxury on an artfully renovated and fully-staffed estate. Set across 52 acres of land, the estate caters to sixteen guests across eight private suites. From the outdoor swimming pool to the tennis court, games room, and rows of wine-producing vines, live the life of leisure through the lens of the French from this countryside escape. We particularly love the period furniture and original fireplaces, which inject an extra air of splendour to the already lavished chateau. Find a cosy spot in front of the fire in the salon to curl up with a book from the home library in hand during the colder months, or take refuge somewhere in the extensive gardens overlooking the lawns and vineyard on blissfully warm summer's afternoons. The alfresco dining area makes the perfect place to enjoy chef-made meals tailored to your eating and drinking preferences. For the lucky soul who gets to stay in the master suite, don't forget to make the most of the master bathroom's sauna and fitness room. With the closest town being Creon (about a seven-minute drive away), you'll have a local bakery and quintessentially French brasserie within easy reach from here too. Not to mention the city of Bordeaux and the medieval hilltop town of Saint Émilion, which are both only a thirty-minute drive away. 


Once Upon a Time in Bordeaux

Journey through the vineyards of Bordeaux before finding yourself at this stone villa on the bank of the Dordogne. The highlight of this stay for us is not only the view of the romantic river, but the direct access to it via a private dock or one of the included kayaks. If you do happen to tire of a lazy day by the river (or pool if you’d rather), explore the private gardens, scenic as a Monet painting, and pick at seasonal treats for your family or friends to snack on. Speaking of food, you can take the bikes out to the nearby boulangerie for croissants and tarts. We should also mention that the local farm’s goats cheese selection is sensational, especially when paired with wines from the neighbouring vineyards. 

River Days

Throws

Named a ‘Best Romantic Break’ by Liz Earle Wellbeing, this chateau in the stunning setting on the Dordogne-Lot et Garonne border presents a unique experience worth writing home about. 

Amidst the spanning countryside of rolling hills, summer sunflowers and fruit trees, it is rumoured that in former times, the fruit was picked from the gardens and served to the aristocracy residing at the 13th-century château just opposite. These days, the abundance of fauna and flora remains for guests' enjoyment. Roam around the castle's grounds, and as you soak up the views, take in the fresh air – sweetly fragranced by the orchards. 

While the home is listed as an ancient monument, it is restored to a pristine standard with contemporary finishings throughout. With plenty of living areas to relax, it's not just the six beautifully furnished en-suite bedrooms that will have you feeling refreshed and revitalised, as you'll find many quiet spots inside and out, to sit in peace with a glass of Côtes de Duras wine. We particularly love that when evening falls, you can control the coloured lighting of this 13th-century castle in a very 21st-century manner. 

Beyond the chateau and its beautiful garden (featuring a terrace and pool area), stroll along the little path that leads straight to the village of Duras in minutes. Pick up fresh bread and pastries from the boulangerie alongside some fresh fare at the local farmers' market. Then, when you're ready to venture further afield, set off on day trips to discover the likes of Bergerac, Château de Monbazillac and Saint-Émilion – all of which boast medieval architecture, quality restaurants and exquisite Maison des Vins. 



Sunflower Spring

Once an ancient fortress, before becoming a palace in the seventeenth-century, Cypress Way is more than a beautiful holiday home. Set on twenty-five acres of private land, there's plenty to see and do in this beautiful part of France. The entire property is made up of the main house, as well as a guest house – making it possible for up to twenty-four people to stay here. Whether you want to celebrate a special occasion or simply live your best life, Cypress Way could offer a dreamy escape from your daily routines.

Cypress Way

Just a three-minute walk from the Plage d'Arcachon beach, this modern apartment boasts sparkling sea views over the red rooftops. On your doorstep, you'll discover the lovely Les Halles market, where you can pick up fresh fruit and local produce. Or, why not try your luck at the seafront Casino d'Arcachon? With lots of exciting boat trips at hand, there is something for everyone to enjoy at this dreamy holiday destination.

From your Juliet balcony, you'll want to let the breeze rush through the bedroom as you overlook the beautiful bay, only 400 metres away. Each morning, indulge your sweet tooth at this sleek dining table and opt for pain au chocolat. When it's time to explore, we think that this place promises you the perfect base, whether you're staying here on a solo adventure or a romantic getaway. Later, come back to this serene space and soak your feet in the bathtub, then pour yourself a glass of French wine as you watch an idyllic sunset.

Oyster Cove

Originally built as an old farmhouse, this beautiful home combines rustic charm with a light colour palette to create a space that feels both cosy and light, and certainly inviting enough for you to relax in. 

We can imagine lazy starts followed by freshly-brewed coffee at the dining table, right next to the statement fireplace. Unfortunately not in working order anymore, the design of the old hearth is still a beautiful focal point to the dining space. Scramble eggs in the minimal kitchen to enjoy alongside fresh croissants, cheese, and caffeine before getting ready for a day of exploration. 

Venture to Cadran Solaire – only minutes away by car – where you can hike the trails and explore the native foliage. In Nérac, about fifteen minutes away, you’ll find the night market and open-air cinema, but it’s also a great place to grab a bite to eat during the day. 

On those days where you find your itinerary completely clear, you’ll delight in the peace on offer at this home. Open the curved doors of the living room and read on the sofa, or head outside where you can walk the grounds until you find the perfect spot for an impromptu picnic. Enjoy sunset drinks on the terrace, barbecued dinners, and collapse onto the lawn every now and again for late-night stargazing.
