Beautiful Brantome gite
Review Submitted: June 2, 2009
Date of Stay: May 2009
Right from the start, the owners, Richard and Julia, were incredibly kind, helpful and welcoming. The gite is beautifully decorated, well-equipped and comfortable, with the sort of thoughtful little extras - like tea, coffee, milk and juice already waiting for us - that make any holiday so much more easy and pleasant.
The locality is very pretty and the surrounding land just begs you to go for long walks - if you can tear yourself away from the stunning swimming pool.
Julia and Richard are honest about warning visitors that the pool is very deep, but with constant supervision - which any parent would do anyway - my three-year-old (and I) had a wonderful time in the shallows. It's unusual to find such a stylish place which is also child-friendly.
The only problem we had was failing to get a connection to the gite's wi-fi. Richard and Julia bent over backwards to help us - even phoning previous guests who has used it, for advice - but to no avail. Still, for back-up, there is an internet cafe in Brantome.
We've stayed in a lot of gites, but this one gets 5 stars from us and we only wish we'd discovered it earlier. If you're happy staying somewhere, it's often high praise to say it felt like home, but this was much better - it's like living in the home you wish you had!
