Large house very well set up for comfortable enjoyment, especially the kitchen was well suited for people who like to cook. It was exciting to be surrounded by vineyards while harvest was in process. Imagine sitting by your pool while a grape picking truck up the hill moves about the vineyard picking the grapes – fabulous! Maureen was very helpful with any questions. Loved being out in the countryside rather than in a city. Close to markets each day & an hour+ from Bordeaux & St Emilion. Medieval towns were easily accessable & a delight to visit. Strongly recommend Babeau.

Great for a large family!
Facilities and location are ideal for this type of group and a laid back holiday. Would definitely consider staying here again. Loved the spaces. Indoor and outdoor. Happy memories!

An Idyllic Location.
A very spacious property with all the amenities you could want, good bathrooms and comfy beds. The location is idyllic, the views incredible and everything is in easy reach with plenty to do for the whole family. Duras and Monsegur well worth a visit, especially on market day or night. The lake at Blasimon and the Tree Top Adventures proved great fun for the kids. Would thoroughly recommend.

A 360-degree view of the surroundings!
The location of this house is truly exceptional with a view of all the surroundings, sunrises and sunsets. The pool is also very nice. The house is very spacious.
Lovely villa, better than expected!! Very clean, loads of amenities and enough sunbeds! In the middle of nowhere so you can’t walk into town but the views are amazing. We all decided we’d love to stay here again! Thankyou for a lovely stay x
Excellent family holiday home, I would recommend having cars to be able to travel to and from the house at ease but close to local supermarket and little towns. Beautiful outside space, very safe for children with great toys and facilities for them to use as well. Couldn’t recommend enough for a lovely family break!
Hidden Retreat
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Had a fantastic stay, the house has everything you need and the views are amazing. There was a group of 9 adults and 3 children staying for a week. Plenty of space for everyone inside and outside the house. There is a small bar a few minutes walk from the house which can provide bread and other pastries if pre ordered which made a delicious breakfast. The town of Duras and Monsegur are a short drive away and make a nice day out. I would recommend this house to other friends and family.
Beautiful Babeau
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
This was the first time the whole family had holidayed together. The party included Grandmother, Grandfather, the 3 children and their respective partners and most importantly the 4 grandchildren, two aged 4 and the other two 6 and 7 respectively.
One of our daughters , Nia, researched the property and didn’t she do well !! The position of Babeau was magnificent perched on a hilltop overlooking vineyards and beautiful surrounding countryside. There was ample room for the 12 of us and the most popular area was, of course, the swimming pool. The week flew by and we enjoyed the best family holiday ever.
Thank you Babeau for such a wonderful time.
An relaxing retreat with spectacular views
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
This is the perfect getaway to enjoy the French countryside and spend time as a family.
Absolutely magical week. Thank you so much
Stunning location, with spectacular views across wine country! Just a short walk from a little shop where you can buy pastries. 10 min drive to beautiful town (Monseigneur) where there was a market some days and a bakery to buy lovely pastries. We really enjoyed visiting a local winery, just 3 min drive away. Tito, the man who owned the vineyard, was so welcoming and generous, a hilarious few hours sampling some delicious wines. We played many table tennis competitions, even did a treasure hunt and lots of fun in the pool. Generous sized bedrooms, clean and nicely decorated. Lovely big kitchen and dining room. Cannot recommend highly enough, would return again!
A Place to Relax
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We had a wonderful family holiday at Babeau. Easily found yet remote enough not to be bothered by anyone. The view of vineyards and plum orchards from the swimming area is wonderful. Duras and Monsegur are close enough and there is lots to do in the area however we just relaxed and did very little. The house is well equipped and the dishwasher a godsend. All in all a brilliant family holiday.
Fabulous gite- pictures don’t do it justice!
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The pictures of this place really don’t do it justice! It is a beautifully maintained home that is spacious, clean and well equipped. Beds were extremely comfortable and the bedrooms are all large and spacious. There are plenty of bathrooms and ample hot water with good water pressure. Living space is vast and well equipped with comfortable seating and loads of dining space. Not that we used it much spending most of our time outside by the pool and eating at the large table on the shaded terrace.
The pool is great and the garden complete with plum orchard and kids climbing frame and swings kept the kids happy with loads of room to run around and explore. We were 2 families of 4 (with 4 kids between us aged 3 to 7) plus another couple and we easily had enough of our own space not to feel like we were living on top of each other.
The area is beautiful and the local town, Duras, has a chateau that both kids and adults enjoyed exploring, and there’s plenty going on in the summer (markets, night markets, festivals) if you can tear yourself away from the peace and quiet of the pool and garden. Canoeing on the Dordogne was fun and just a short drive away.
Great service from the owners including prompt return of the security deposit.

Restful, clean and inviting
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We were there with our 5 grown up children. The house was spacious and meticulously clean when we arrived. there is plenty of ground within the gardens for everyone to lose themselves if they so wish, but we tended to gravitate around the pool. You need a car to get there and to get around.

Great house with all the space and toys you need to keep children happy, adults can enjoy the shade and wine while overlooking the children in the pool. location excellent for exploring the region and local amenities good. highly recommended 6 adults 3 children 1 baby wonderful stay”
Byron R, May 2015
“Babeau is a stunning villa in beautiful surroundings. We found everything that we needed in the villa for three generations (58 years to 5 months old!) After a fun filled day exploring, we would return to Babeau for an evening barbeque washed down with plenty of local wine. Despite having two babies with us, the villa had a plethora of evening activities to offer and we would stay up into the small hours enjoying a game of cards / ping pong / darts.
On the evening that we arrived at Babeau, we were greeted by a phenomenal buffet created by the wonderful Sylvie. An array of beautiful homemade dishes were laid out before us and were quickly devoured! Having said this, there was such an incredible amount of food that we were able to continue enjoying it for the next four days! Particular favourites included the quiche, chocolate pots and extensive cheese board.
We were then once again met by Sylvie on our fourth day at the villa as she had agreed to take us on a tour of a local vineyard, acting as our translator. Sylvie was informative (she had done extensive research of her own before taking us) and exceptionally friendly.
It was an absolute pleasure meeting Sylvie and we would strongly recommend having her cater for you!
It was refreshing to find a small business where we could deal with the same person every time that we had an enquiry. Tracy and David were incredibly accommodating and helped to make our stay truly memorable. From arranging celebratory birthday banners on arrival to organising a bespoke wine tour around a local villa, nothing was too much to ask for. Furthermore, their expert knowledge of the local area meant that all of their recommendations exceeded expectations.
We look forward to booking our next holiday with Holiday Cottages and Villas.
Many thanks,”

“So good we are back for more
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The initial rustic appearance of the property belies the attention to detail inside the house and quality of the fixtures and fittings to provide a most comfortable place to stay. The listing description was spot on and the house itself was spotless – large rooms throughout; well appointed bathrooms; and well equipped kitchen – the only thing we missed was a cafetiere which, I understand, has been addressed for next year when we are back for three weeks. There is more than enough outdoor space around the pool or garden with views across the valley to Monsegur and Duras either in full sun or on patios under cover for those of us who enjoy the warmth and open air without being baked. Bedrooms remained pleasantly cool to allow for a good night’s sleep. The village and local area are very quiet which allows you to go for strolls without problems but Monsegur and Duras seem only a stone throw away for markets, shops, cafes and restaurants and you are on the edge of some of the best wine growing regions in the world – Bordeax, Bergerac, Pecharmont and Duras. What’s not to like.”
Ian, September 2014
“We had a wonderful couple of weeks at Babeau – the house was fantastic, although the only downstairs room we really used was the kitchen! We ate every meal outside – even during rain and thunderstorms! The views were wonderful and the children really loved the pool. There was also so much garden space for them to play in. The plums were great too.
Many thanks for your help in organising this lovely holiday.”
The Matthews party, August 2014
“We have just returned from a wonderful relaxing week at Babeau. The property is lovely, well equipped and in a fantastic location, with vineyards as far as the eye can see. This would be an ideal place to just come and relax, and not do anything. The kids were hardly out of the pool, and there’s a sunny terrace around the pool with stunning views over the countryside. If you are into wildlife it’s a fantastic place too, with gardens full of birds (we had a huge flock of birds of prey rising on thermals), lots of lizards and we even had an early morning badger on the lane.
The surrounding area is a haven for wine lovers. An hour’s drive to St Emilion was the highlight of our trip, but there are lots of nice vineyards all around. Make sure you go to the evening markets in the villages nearby. Fresh Oysters, escargots and loads of other local delicacies, served up with local wines in the square is something not to be missed.
I hope we will be back again soon. Thanks for a fantastic holiday.”
The Firth party, July 2014
Thank you very much,we had a fabulous holiday with good weather, such a beautiful place and so relaxing. Only complaint, it wasn’t long enough. Thank you again for your help!
The Light family, June 2013
“We leave wet England and arrive in the sunlight at Calais and drive through the Loire valley picking up the odd bottle of wine on the way. We arrive at Babeau once again (visited June 2011). We enjoyed everything about Babeau and the surrounding countryside. Our 6 year old grand daughter, with a sad voice, told her 4 year old sister “We are going home tomorrow!”. Her reply was “Why?” – we had no answer! Hope everyone enjoys their visit as we have.”
The Nichols party, June 2012
“The photos on the website do not do this place justice!…Excellent facilities, very well thought out and the house managers – Maureen and Andy – lovely, lovely people… Babeau will be very highly spoken of to our friends and family. We will be back!”
“Loved that yours is the last property on the lane and there is a huge garden with swings etc. – meant the kids could go out at any time and we knew they were safe.”
The O’Sullivan party
“We have had a fab week. All the kids enjoyed the pool, gardens and fruit trees. House fantastic – works well with two families.”
“Yes it really is a lovely house! We really enjoyed our two weeks at Babeau. It was clean, tidy and in a wonderful location-just the place to chill out, read and drink wine! and the pool to keep cool. We even thought of booking for next June…”
The Harrington party
“This is a lovely peaceful place which has made us feel rejuvenated. Spacious house with room for all the activities for all ages. Enjoyed it all!”
The Hallows party.
“Thanks for a wonderful holiday experience here in Babeau, thoroughly enjoyable!. All eleven of us had a blast – scenery beautiful, villages and vineyards lovely, so this gang from Dublin will be back!”
The Shannon party.
