We definitely loved our stay at the Favreau house. Pascal the manager greeted us upon our arrival and explained everything about the house to us. After that he was constantly available if needed be. The house was just as in the pictures. Spacious rooms from the kitchen to the bedrooms to the living room. What is truly spectacular of the house is the outdoor area and the view. It’s so quiet you can just sit outside and enjoy the beauty. There’s a few villages with small supermarket and a boulangerie and a boucherie at about 10 minutes by car from the house. The biggest supermarket was about 25 minutes. We reserved Sylvie for a meal at the house and we really liked it. We would’ve definitely have stayed another week and even though it rained almost everyday we were there we truly had a wonderful week.

Petit séjour entre amis très agréable. La maison est très chouette, le jardin est au top et la piscine est un vrai plus. Tout s’est bien passé du début à la fin !

Very pleasant little stay with friends. The house is very nice, the garden is at the top and the pool is a real plus. Everything went well from start to finish!

Une maison splendide dans un écran de nature avec un vrai cachet. L’environnement immédiat : vue sur les vignes et pruniers en font un havre de paix et de tranquillité. Très agréable pour les enfants. Parfait pour 3 familles, sans se marcher dessus. Il faut biensur être motorisé la maison est éloignée de tout. Nous n’avons pas rencontré Tracy, mais Pascal nous a accueilli chaleureusement. Quelques petits réglages nécessaires à l’arrivée, nous avons loué la maison pour sa première semaine de réouverture après l’hiver. Rien de gênant et réactivité des propriétaires. Nous recommandons !

A splendid house in a nature screen with a real character. The immediate environment: views of the vines and plum trees make it a haven of peace and tranquility. Very nice for the children. Perfect for 3 families, without stepping on. You have to have a car, the house is far from everything. We did not meet Tracy, but Pascal welcomed us warmly. A few small adjustments needed on arrival, we rented the house for its first week of reopening after winter. Nothing inconvenient and responsive to the owners. We recommend it!

Beautiful location and property. We so enjoyed it. Pascal was incredibly helpful and welcoming. We can’t wait to come back again.

An absolutely beautiful setting, from the long tree-lined driveway to the courtyard setting around the pool, with the owners’ large vineyard behind the house to walk around in.
The house is very comfortable and spacious, with 3 very large bedrooms and a huge attic with some 6 or so kids’ beds. The house has ‘rustic charm’, don’t expect the most updated appliances or a fully renovated house. But it has all the amenities and was perfectly clean. Highly recommended.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Favereau is a wonderful rustic property in which to spend a week. A great location to explore Duras, Bergerac, Monsegur and the surrounding countryside. The pool area is perfect for sunbathing or finding some peaceful shade. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.
Hi Tracy, we really enjoyed our stay in Favereau. Pascal was very welcoming and advised local restaurants. The house had everything we needed and the pool was a wonderful place to base ourselves when at home. In short, we loved it!
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Favreau. Pascal made us feel instantly at home with a guided tour of the property and immediate grounds. This delightful farmhouse has many spacious rooms exuding French rustic charm. We shall return!

This is a wonderful house, perfect for a group of families. It is a beautiful old house that has been updated with modern conveniences, and the garden and pool are absolutely idyllic. Very private and quiet, but close to the village of Monsegur for all your essentials and within 30 minutes of many wonderful villages and wineries. We would definitely come again.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Amazing place, Beautiful house with plenty of space. Very clean and comfortable. The showstopper is definitely the garden and the pool. Such an incredible place to get carried away in and forget about time. Which is perfect Since there is not much else going on in the towns around. Minus the local vineyards of course, which are definitely worth a visit! All and all we’ve had a great stay at Favreau, and I am quite sure we will be back some day!

La Villa Favreau… Que dire! Maison très fonctionnelle et de quoi ravir tous les hôtes! De grandes chambres, de beaux espaces de vie. La cuisine est très bien équipée et ça, c’est le top. Malheureusement, la météo du week-end de la Pentecôte n’était pas avec nous, mais mention spéciale pour le «dortoir» au 1er étage où des parties de jeux de société nous ont bien occupé le temps d’une journée pluvieuse! Nous avons pu profiter du bel extérieur (piscine,barbecue…). Visite du vignoble Faurie à 1km, bel accueil de Titou. Un joli week-end entre amis, venant de La Baule, Nantes, Toulouse et Paris. On reviendra! Merci à Pascal pour l’accueil physique et à Tracy pour les échanges via Airbnb. Nous garderons un beau souvenir de la villa Favreau. En cette période, appelée «covid», la Villa de Dieulivol nous a permis de nous échapper le temps d’un week-end. MERCI. Et, bonne continuation!
Tracy a été très réactive et disponible pour répondre à mes interrogations! Top 🙂

The Villa Favreau … What can I say! Very functional house and something to delight all guests! Large bedrooms, beautiful living spaces. The kitchen is very well equipped and that’s the best. Unfortunately, the weather for the Pentecost weekend was not with us, but special mention for the “dormitory” on the 1st floor where board games kept us busy on a rainy day! We were able to enjoy the beautiful exterior (swimming pool, barbecue …). Visit of the Faurie vineyard at 1km, nice welcome from Titou. A nice weekend with friends, coming from La Baule, Nantes, Toulouse and Paris. We will come back! Thanks to Pascal for the physical welcome and to Tracy for the discussions via Airbnb. We will keep fond memories of Villa Favreau. During this period, called “covid”, the Villa de Dieulivol allowed us to escape for a weekend. THANK YOU. And good continuation!

We enjoyed every moment of our stay at the Villa Favereau. It’s calm, vast (the house and the property), comfortable and very tastefully furniture. The choice of activities both outdoors (pool, table tennis, various games, strolls, sunbathing, bbqing) and indoors (some books and numerous board games) is large. The position in the heart of Marmandais wine country is excellent, and the endless view of vineyards, only interrupted by grazed meadows and picturesque little hilltop towns makes for wonderful sights and strolls. The pool is large and convenient, as are the premises allowing groups to do separate activities while not bouncing into one another. Sadly some glass or fragile items were broken, for which we’ve duly paid after Tracy and Pascal messaged us with the utmost amiability and understanding. We’d love to come again. Thanks and bonne continuation 🙂
We returned to Favreau after having a lovely birthday celebration there last August. This time with children and again everyone had a wonderful time. David, Tracy, Sarah and Paul were all such help in preparation and with all the various needs of our little humans (4 of them aged from 1 to 5) the place is idyllic and such a lovely place to enjoy a fun and peaceful holiday.
