Guest Reviews:
- "Absolutely incredible place...beautifully kept expansive grounds with a working orange grove, multiple lovely buildings set in the French countryside. This is a completely renovated chateau with most of the original decor but with all the modern conveniences. The host, Arnaud, is very welcoming and accommodating and the breakfast and dinner are not to be believed. We booked this place not having any idea what a find it would turn out to be. Bed unbelievably comfortable, room super quiet...I could go on and on..."

Guest Reviews:
- "Loved our stay! Kids thought the tent was the best thing ever and the llamas were very cool. Love the outside hot shower and the bbq facilities were great . The hosts were so friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend." - "The location was great, very peaceful. It was great to be around the animals and the hosts were amazing." - "Location was quiet, and just what we needed after 3 terms of teaching and lots of driving. Could've stayed here longer, but it was a stop over on way to Bordeaux. My kids (13,12 and 9) loved the pool and shared it with 2 families who were there for a long stay. In one night we met all the animals; llamas, donkeys, chickens, a noisy cockerel, and 3 friendly pups. Hosts are great- nothing is too much trouble. We stayed in the barn conversion- a whole floor to ourselves with 2 rooms and a lovely bathroom. Don't worry about Aircon, the rooms were surprisingly cool despite it being 33 degrees outside. My kids didn't want to leave."
