We stayed for a week from 10 June 2023. The house is enormous and charming. Having so much space was great as we were two couples - so we could choose from the four large bedrooms. There is plenty of storage space and places to eat, with two large interior dining tables and an exterior shaded terrace. We didn't use the air con on the first floor. Downstairs remained cool, and the upstairs bedrooms were fine at night, with the windows open and curtains closed and no issues with mosquitos. The view of the mountains and vineyards is fantastic, and we enjoyed spending time on the large terrace. We were delighted to see our first Hoopoo, which seemed to be nesting in the big tree in the driveway.
The pool is fantastic, and there is plenty of space for sunbathing and reading. It was so relaxing to sit by the pool with the calming view of the countryside all around. There are many flowering shrubs and so many unique succulents and cacti!
We walked into Saint Montan for the tiny weekly produce market, which was lovely. Saint Montan is a charming must-see village. We didn't get to see the Chateau but want to return one day as we loved the area.
The house was adequately clean and tidy. Our only issues were with the kitchen layout, which was a bit awkward to navigate, and only one small sofa in the living room, which meant it wasn't ideal for two couples to watch a film in the evening.
Thank you to owners Sabine and Jean Michel for a lovely week in the most beautiful countryside.
