Superb Villa / house in Libourne. Beautifully presented and very comfortable. The pool is an added attraction. Within 10 minute walk of town centre, train and bus station. Libourne is well situated for visiting the wider area including St Emillion. Our host, Brigette, was wonderful and was a great help to us.
This home was delightful. Well situated just a few minutes walk from downtown Libourne was in a quiet residential neighborhood. We walked to the Saturday market and then cooked in the main kitchen (there are 2). The pool was a welcome break from the heat and the AC was also appreciated. Garage parking is always nice when staying in a small town. Everyone felt it was a highlight of all the places we stayed in France.
Fantastic property only a short walk from shops and restaurants.
The house was spacious and meticulously clean. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed from making coffee in the morning to dinner at night.
The garden was fab. The pool was refreshing on the hot sunny days and due to the quiet location of the house perfect to sit and read my book.Plenty of towels supplied for the pool.
The hosts were lovely, not too intrusive but attentive and answered any queries promptly.
We had a fabulous holiday.
This is a beautiful house with several comfortable bedrooms and plenty of cozy spots to hang out. Brigitte personally took us through the house at check-in, though she speaks little English and we didnât catch all her French. There are a lot of dishes and cookware in different places and 2 kitchen areas, so we were constantly looking for things, but the effect is charming in a funny way. (The clutter includes baskets and shelves filled with magazines dating back to 2004-05..)
Thereâ an excellent boulangerie/patisserie about 2 blocks away. Market Day in Libourne was fabulous, and we cooked several meals at home using the delectable produce and fresh chicken and fish we purchased. Libourne has plenty to do and convenient to Bordeaux and St.-Emilion. This isnât a touristy city, itâs a real, down-to-earth French, small city that enjoys its outdoor public spaces.
One suggestion: we wish there was a guidebook here, listing recommended boulangeries, restaurants, things to do and see, market days etc. for Libourne and surroundings, as well as instructions for using the homeâs appliances.
The guest house looks like a private place as toothpaste as many items remain in the house. Hygiene downstairs was truly bad: floor wasnât cleaned (many dead flies) as were both refrigerators. We didnât use the main one as it smelled really bad and was full of personal stuff. The house only has airconditioning in the bedroom, one of which was not working. The claim of an airconditioned house is wrong. Swimming pool is great as is the location. Dishwasher wasnât emptied as the owner had a lunch party before we arrived. This is also the reason that the house was not ready when we arrived at 4pm. We had to spend more than an hour with the owner and her friend as she finished cleaning (part of) the house. WiFi is bad in two bedrooms, rest of the house is fine. Television stopped working after the first day, maybe we just didnât understand. We would suggest buying one diner table instead of two not well fitting tables and make a clear handbook for guests. In short, bad value for money and limited airconditioning when it is 40 degrees outside is not what has been promised in the description of the house. Disappointing.
Had a wonderful stay at Lotus. A quirky place but comfortable and clean. Ideal to the centre and train station. Upstairs has aircon but not downstairs. Pool area beautiful, but unfortunately too cold to swim .
Lovely spacious property which has everything you could possibly need your stay. Charming and very attentive hosts who were on hand for anything needed. Air con upstairs was much appreciated during sweltering temperatures as was the nice pool. Having your own garage space is great as street parking not plentiful. Highly recommended for a holiday in this lovely area of France. Nigel D
We had a short break in this property before attending a family wedding about an hourâs drive further north. Villa Lotus is a delightful townhouse tucked away in a quiet area but within a 5 minute walk of excellent restaurants and shops. We were welcomed by the charming Brigitte who ensured that everything was as we wished. It was also very kind of Brigitte to arrange for her English speaking daughter, resident in Australia, to phone us the next day just to check that we were comfortable. The Villa is extremely well equipped, comfortable, tasteful and has a lovely garden and pool area, together with a garage, which is particularly useful as street parking is very limited. We highly recommend the Villa. Libourne is pleasant, offering some good restaurants, a pleasing main square, a range of shops and lovely riverside areas.
Brigitte is an excellent host. We enjoyed our stay: nicely renovated house, excellent garden and pool, at walking distance of the city center. Nothing to complain!
Fantastic base to relax in and explore the surrounding area
Made to feel most welcome by Brigitte and Charlene, a spacious and comfortable property with use of a garage which makes parking very easy at the end of the day.
Great location with a Boulangerie two minutes walk away and a lovely selection of Restaurants within Libourne all within 10 minutes walking distance.
Relaxing was very easy with the pool and private garden, great weather and a fantastic range of local wines!
Many Thanks Brigitte and Charlene!!
