Beautiful old cottage, with a rear terrace giving stunning panoramic views.
Sainte-Foy is a complex of 3 detached, very old stone properties, each with their own private terraces, offering a beautiful shared swimming pool with terrace and communal stunning grounds of 4 acres.
We stayed for 2 weeks in La Maison, but we also had the opportunity to check out the other 2 gites - Pigeonnier and Grange - and we are now spoilt for choice!! All 3 are fantastic - clean, well-maintained and, unusual for gites, had everything we needed. The area and views are to die for. The weather was wonderful too. We did not get to meet the owner (who has always been most helpful), but his son and daughter were on site and they were both really kind, friendly and extremely helpful. We were very lazy, I'm afraid and spent most of the time relaxing round the beautiful pool, on our lovely, private balcony or even in the gite itself (watching Wimbledon and the Tour de France!!). My husband brought his bike and went out cycling regularly - fabulous place for cycling. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning - we just have to decide which gite we want to stay in!
We spent two weeks at La Maison, Ste Foy in August 2010 and were delighted with the house and pool. From the initial booking, Peter Franklin was friendly and helpful - right down to suggesting a route and overnight stop on the way down from Calais.
When we arrived at the house, we were very pleased with the standard of accommation. A large house, clean and well set out, with a fully equipped kitchen. The pool is a real highlight, very clean with enough lounger chairs and umbrellas for all the guests.
Great care has been taken in the renovation and we hope to return again.
The property was if anything better than the pictures on the internet suggested. It had character, was spacious and comfortable and had all the equipment you needed. The terrace was excellent. The shared pool area was lovely and had lots of sunloungers. The surroundings were peaceful, and the sunsets were amazing. A lovely gite that we would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing and peaceful holiday.

I am retired and live in the UK. I have owned this property for many years, having completely restored it from being derelict.
I spent many years travelling widely in France and especially in the Lot & Garonne region, which is simply stunning and idyllic . I bought this property as a holiday home , despite it's state of disrepair, for one reason, the location. It is simply beautiful.
The three detached properties and pool terrace are located on the top of a hill with fantastic views down the unspoilt valley, and being west facing, the sunsets are just spectacular!! The complex is located in an extremely quiet, very small hamlet with no through road and is therefore very tranquil. The location is just perfect !
