Description from owner

Description

Gorgeous converted barn set in the tranquil rolling hills around Cordes. The barn was built in the early 19th century and has been part of a working farm and vineyard until recently - the wine vats are still in place in the cellar! The house has magnificent views across the countryside to Castelneau de Montmiral 10km away. There is a large garden of nearly 1/2 hectare with plum, cherry, fig and walnut trees. Some of the garden is maintained for playing and lounging in and some is wilder for exploring. The pool is surrounded by decking and loungers and also has superb views. Ideal for cycling and walking holidays.

The barn was converted in 2009 by local craftsmen and now has the original beams exposed, log burner and luxury bathrooms and kitchen. The deep mattresses on all the beds will ensure a comfortable nights sleep.

The house is surrounded by paths and trails for walking and the nearest wine cave is only 15 minutes walk across the valley for local produce. Hilltop villages are all around with Cordes, Castelneau and Puycelci only 10 minutes by car and Vaour has a world famous music festival during August.

“A fantastic, memorable, special holiday!”

Reviewed 30 Jun 2015

The gite is situated in a rural area with fantastic views. We opted to do the walking holiday option from the gite. The gite was very well equipped, clean and with a beautiful swimming pool. Colin and Janet made us extremely welcome, nothing was too much trouble and they went the extra mile on everything. The walking each day was beautiful, tailored to our needs with amazing picnics at lunchtime. The walking holiday included all meals. The evening meals were served on the terrace overlooking spectacular views. Each meal was four courses and the standard of cooking was excellent. If you are looking for a memorable, special holiday, this is the one!
