We have stayed at Le Pigeonnier twice and on both occasions have had an amazing time. The whole complex has been beautifully renovated and Le Pigeonnier itself is a perfect balance between the original stonework, wooden beams and modern living. The property provides all of the amenities required for self contained very comfortable living, with a fully fitted kitchen (including washing machine, dishwasher and a very handy coffee maker) and TV and DVD player on the top floor if you feel particularly lazy (which we did on occasion). The spacious pool area is fantastic for relaxing days in the sun, while each property has outside seating which is perfect for enjoying your evening meal with a glass of local wine. The surrounding countryside is idylic bliss, with the only sounds to be heard the local wild life and the daily delivery van of fresh bread in the mornings. There is plenty to keep you occupied, including country walks, picturesque bastide towns, great local food and wine and the fantastic local market in Prayssas on Wednesday evenings. Peter was very friendly and helpful, providing us with routes to the beach on the Atlantic coast (a 2-2.5 hour drive) and lots of information about things to do and see (including plenty of maps and local tourist guides in the property on your arrival). We would definitely recommend this property for those wanting to get away from it all.
