Photos and Description of the Duras vacation farmhouse rental Super three bedroom gite sleeping 8 people near Duras

On the site of the 17th Century farmhouse 'Mirathon' there are four outbuildings carefully restored to form individual gites and a pool  Each holiday cottage may be rented individually or as a group. Aquitaine is the largest sleeping eight people. A well-appointed property with thick stone walls, it still retains many of the charms of the 17thC farm. This tranquil area with miles of undulating unspoilt countryside cannot fail to attract all tastes and ages with Bergerac to the north and Bordeaux to the west. The gite is surrounded by activities suitable for everyone.You can visit small 13thC bastide towns, explore Chateaux, go kayaking, horse riding, wine tasting, cycling, play tennis or discover fanatastic restaurants -whatever. However, if you simply want to relax in beautiful surroundings, taking the occasional dip in the stunning 11m x 5m Roman pool and lying in the sun with a glass of wine in your hand; the choice is yours.
