Gite or self-contained modernized wing of a lovely old house. Private and set in park-like grounds. Well insulated so very cool inside in summer. High beamed ceilings and ceramic tiled floors, quality furnishings and furniture. Large open plan living/dining/kitchen area. Two spacious bedrooms with double bed. Family bathroom between the bedrooms. Separate laundry room with washing machine, additional fridge and freezer space. Large terrace covered by a fabric awning with a barbecue area. Nearly two acres of lawns with hedges and shrubs. Plenty of off-street parking.
Fantastic stay. Two couples for a short stay in Duras and it was perfect for us. Lovely spacious space with all the amenities you need and more! Superbly located in a lovely spot. Great little terrace and the highlight were the hosts! Very friendly, welcoming and very accommodating. Lovely people. Would highly recommend
Very nice and calm place. The host was very kind and prepared our visit like we were his family. All comfort was present in the house. We had only to bring our foot and drinks..Perfect
Duras is a lovely place with his castle, market place and good restaurants. A visit into the castle is really recommended.
Good centralized is you want to visit Lot de Garonne or Dordogne..
The property was a welcoming place after staying in a small apartment in Dole. The owners are two real gentlemen and I have thoroughly enjoyed their company. And so has my dog, who loves them! The accommodations are nice and completely adequate, including the kitchen, living room, and bedroom furnishings, and linens. The location was excellent for me because each day there were the numerous small streets at the Chateau Duras, less than a mile away, to walk with my dog and enjoy strolling through the shops there. It is very quiet here although there is a busy street behind a huge, almost solid row of trees hiding the street completely. The plantings and lawn suffered from the prolonged heat spell, but being a gardener, I could tell the surrounds were well cared for and contributed to the delight of this getaway.
The renovated barn with two bedrooms, a large living room, bath, laundry room, and kitchen was a welcome relief after our days of sightseeing. The kitchen was well equipped with what was needed to fix meals and snacks. The outdoor area was full of interesting plants and trees and plenty of room for my dog to run and play. The two owners are wonderful to be around and cared that our stay was satisfactory. Although it is somewhat close to a road, there are massive bushes hiding view of the road and a large expanse of grass and trees between the accommodations and the road. There is plenty of parking, and inside the accommodations, there was little to no noise from the road. The laundry facilities are in a separate room and offer all that one would need. In all, it made our stay in Duras a wonderful one.
Spacious and comfortable throughout. Standard of cleanliness needed improvement.
Only cursory instructions given for tv. Electricity was tripped about 10 times when oven was switched on.
Useful laundry room, good shower with plenty of hot water.
Could be wonderful with some improvements.
We did enjoy our stay.
Perfectly charming French farmhouse vibe. The owners are kind and thoughtful. When we mentioned a desire for morning coffee, they went out and bought a new coffeemaker for our use. Comfortable beds in the home, which is well equipped with linens and other items to make your stay a pleasant one. Convenient to a grocery store which has everything one might need. We enjoyed our stay!
We enjoyed a great week in this gite, a lovingly restored building which is now very well equipped and comfortable. Hiram and Stephen were genial hosts. Hope to go back some day.
We enjoyed our stay in Duras. We were warmly welcomed by our hosts. The appartment is nicely cool, a plus when it is very warm in the daytime. The appartment is spacious and well equiped. Duras is a good starting point for daytrips to the beautiful bastides in the region. In all, a positive experience.
Wonderful hosts. Property only 2km from the centre-ville of Duras with proximity to many historical villages, bastides and castles of this beautiful region of France. Very spacious with tasteful furniture and excellently appointed. Charming patio in a large private garden.
The hosts were as congenial as ever. We have stayed here before and will do so again. The gite is well-appinted, in lovely grounds. Great base for visiting the Dordogne......Duras is a lovely bastide town. Difficult to do anything but praise glowingly.
