Amazing views and enough privacy to completely relax.
Lovely holiday, great location and fabulous facilities

These two houses are amazing! Me and my family, with young kids, enjoyed our one week stay to the fullest. Perfect for two or big families. The houses are just as described, or even better! Super clean, fresh and lovely French style. It’s located at a beautiful area of France with lots of wine yards and sunflower fields. The little town of Duras is close, a 7 min drive, to the bakery/butcher/pharmacy/coffee bar/etc. We cannot wait to come back next year!
Pure relaxation.
Fantastic!

“We loved this house, it is so beautifully decorated and tastefully furnished. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The beds were super comfy. We loved all the shady areas in the gardens and the pool was perfect for cooling down after sunbathing in the hot French sunshine! Duras is a lovely, traditional town and the local markets are well worth a visit. In short, we can well recommend this property for a lovely relaxing holiday!
