Wenn man gerne fĂŒr sich sein möchte, dann ist man hier richtig. Das Haus bietet jeden Komfort und ist perfekt fĂŒr Hundehalter. Eine BĂ€ckerei, ein Metzger, ein Restaurant sind fusslĂ€ufig zu erreichen. Mit dem Auto ist man in weniger als 20 Minuten in Bordeaux.
Enjoyed our stay. Accessible to so many great things in the region. Easy to get to Bordeaux itself and the wine region. Manager was nice and friendly. House was modern and kids loved the pool. Very enjoyable stay.
Failed to live up to the expectations created by the description
Firstly, the good stuff. The swimming pool and its surroundings are lovely. In addition, the property's owner is very responsive to emails and addresses most issues promptly.
Sadly, however, there were too many of these that needed to be dealt with during the course of our stay. The single air-conditioning unit is unequal to the task of cooling such a large glass-fronted building, even in an average summer (which this was not). A portable unit was delivered in retail packaging for us to install, which was not something we really felt equipped to do while on holiday. Its use was also restricted to one room as it could not be moved downstairs. This meant that we had to eat, entertain ourselves and sleep in the one room, and at the peak of the heatwave ended up checking into a hotel in town.
The sliding doors (apparently newly installed) got stuck, and in any case even once this was fixed the doors were secured only by Allen keys, causing security concerns.
The washing machine had been left in a poor condition prior to our arrival and as a result tore holes in our clothes. (The owner paid for the damage caused and replaced the washing machine, but this was obviously not ideal on holiday).
Other fixtures and bits of furniture are showing their age and the house in a poor decorative state of repair in some places.
While we appreciated the owner's attempt to deal with some of the issues, overall, the house failed to live up to the expectations of a luxury holiday rental created by the description on this site and the amount charged for renting it.
Vorab, meine Frau und ich haben unseren Aufenthalt im September genossen.
Das GrundstĂŒck ist groĂ, ĂŒberwiegend nicht einsehbar und umzĂ€umt, - ideal um unseren Hund frei laufen zu lassen.
Das Haus ist modern eingerichtet und sehr komfortabel. Die groĂen GlasflĂ€chen bringen viel Licht ins Innere, fĂŒhren aber auch den Nachteil mit sich, dass es im Haus sehr warm werden kann. Zwar hat der Besitzer vor den Glasscheiben Tarnnetze aufgehĂ€ngt, diese zeigen aber wenig Wirkung. Das einzige im Haus installierte KlimagerĂ€t schaffte es dementsprechend auch nicht, die Temperatur im GebĂ€ude entsprechend zu reduzieren. Das Elternschlafzimmer mit seinen beiden verglasten AussenwĂ€nden war daher aufgrund der Hitze selbst im September nicht nutzbar. Wir sind letztlich auf eines der anderen Zimmer ausgewichen. Andere Aspekte, wie z.B. die âSicherheitstechnikâ haben wir eher mit Humor getragen.
We spent two weeks here in August 2018 and had a wonderful stay! The pictures of the house don't do it justice, the layout is really cool, all on one level (well with a couple of steps) there is a seperation between the 'living' area (kitchen, diner, lounge) and the bedrooms.
Outside the pool is the centre piece it's a really good size, it provided us with hours of fun playing in the pool or lounging by it
The LARGE garden (loads of space) is great for shade and playing around in.
The kitchen is well equipped, the internet is good and there is a good selection of DVD's if you want to chill inside instead of out!
Locally there is a bakery within a 2 minute walk, a supermarket is around 5-10 mins walk away.
Getting into Bordeaux was also very easy (around 10-15 mins drive) so the home is a good base for Bordeaux and the surrounding areas (great beaches around 1hr drive).
Axel was always quick to respond and very cool to deal with.
All in we'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a super relaxing place to stay be it for a weekend or two weeks!
