Lovely 7 day stay July 2022

Charming gite in peaceful location with fabulous pool. Well equipped to make for a very comfortable self-catered visit with the family. Nearby Ambazac offered several supermarket options and the nearby Lac du Saint Pardoux provided some beautiful beaches and water to swim in on hot days. Definitely recommend!

Favourite gite so far

This gite ticks all the boxes for us - a large enclosed garden for the dog, and for ball games; a great swimming pool; access to tennis courts; a beautiful village setting and a wonderful house. Plus only 6km from an activity lake for the kids. Fantastic.

We had a good week here, although the weather wasn't great the heated pool kept warm throughout. lots of space in the house and garden, plenty of history in the building. Great communication with the Host, would stay again.

Family Holiday

Martine the host was there to greet us on arrival and this was late at night. The property is as advertised and is what you would expect from a house this age. The pool was great being heated. Total privacy around us. Martine also supplied some food and drink on arrival as it was so late which was a lovely thought. Only downside for us was that the village has no shops so any provisions you need to travel 4km where there is a very good supermarket.

A fabulous 3 week stay in this beautiful property with incredible outdoor space

We enjoyed an amazing holiday with family at this fabulous property situated in the very peaceful town of Saint-Sylvestre. The property benefits from being on a incredible plot of land and perfectly located next to village sports courts such as tennis, small football pitch and playground which meant it was perfect for our two lively boys. The garden is huge and the heated pool is very inviting and they is cooler shaded space outside to enjoy some time out of the sun. The house is well equipped and oozes rustic French charm with a modern bathroom and kitchen. We were looked after by the host who regularly checked in with us via message. Highly recommend this property especially for families given the plentiful outdoor space and facilities. Thank you Martine

We have stayed here multiple times. The house is a lovely mix of old and new and the garden is perfect for a peaceful stay. The swimming pool is beautiful and the garden is large and secure....great for our dogs. The owner is very helpful and accommodating and we have never had any problems when staying here. Thank you Madame Dodinet. xx

Beautiful house and garden

Wonderful stay. The owner was charming and easy to communicate with. The outside area of the house in particular is the nicest we’ve stayed in. Very private. Plenty of room in the house. Some parts are very old and un renovated but it didn’t detract from the overall experience. Very quiet, nice walks from the doorstep and a pizza van came one night. Otherwise you do have a 10 min drive for bread, shops etc. Would recommend!!

This is a very old and characterful house with new modern facilities (bathroom, kitchen, toilet) situated in a beautiful and quiet village/hamlet. The garden is massive but fully enclosed so perfect for dogs and children and the swimming pool is gorgeous. The owner is very charming and welcoming but otherwise perfectly unobtrusive - she speaks very good English and there were no communication problems for us. Thoroughly recommended for any English visitors to the Nouvelle-Aquitaine/Limousin region.

Good - but minor improvements will help to reach 5 stars

The property is very nice, beautiful surroundings. Outside very well maintained including the pool. You have privacy and to be honest, the photographs we saw in the advertisement don’t do it justice: it’s better. Inside is a bit different. First of all is that it wasn’t clear that some bedrooms where adjacent, you could only reach one by walking thru the other. The top floor bedroom was with a very low ceiling and not attractive to our girls. We have four girls, teenagers and we wanted individual rooms for them. That was not possible, they ended up sharing. The master bedroom was fine, but the door didn’t close easily and certainly didn’t give privacy. Part of old French charm maybe? It had a separate bathroom of which the door was impossible to close. Very annoying. A good carpenter can have both doors fixed in a mornings work. There is a separate toilet and separate shower that the girls used. Modern, nice but no shower curtain! The floor was constantly soaked with water. Downstairs was nice, nice layout. A lot of kitchen utensils, some however weird. Five frying and cooking pans with no handle to hold them?? Enough other stuff to prepare good meals. One final minor point was hygiene. The kitchen and specifically the fridge where really dirty. Fridge als has a door that doesn’t shut, so it is covered in water and ice crystals. Also many spider webs in corners… needs a proper cleaning. Nonetheless we had a good stay, in spite of six days of rain. Recommend!

The third time we have stayed here and still just as good as the first time. Charming old house but with modern kitchen and bathroom facilities, beautiful secure garden, outside eating area and superb swimming pool. Set in a really quiet village only a 5 minute drive from the local town with all facilities. Handover process is always smooth and easy and we will recommend this as a great place to stay. Hopefully we will return soon, thanks

Découverte du limousin à partir d'une maison de famille

Située dans un très beau village limousin, la maison nous a offert l'espace et le confort de pouvoir se retrouver avec sa famille dispersée depuis 2 ans en Espagne, Allemagne, Grande Bretagne. De belles retrouvailles ...

Séjour en famille

Très bonne expérience dans cette belle propriété gérée par Martine. L'hôte est très agréable, disponible, arrangeante. Nous avons pu passer une semaine de vacances en famille dans les meilleures conditions : piscine, grand jardin, jeux pour les enfants, tennis à 50 mètres, city foot à 200 mètres. Le jardin est vraiment sublime, idéal pour faire des barbecues et dîner sous le préau. Je recommande vivement !

Beaux extérieurs, intérieurs vétustes

Nous avons été charmés par le jardin, les extérieurs et la belle piscine de la propriété, mais déçus par l'état de la maison, à mon sens impropre à la location en l'état. Une salle de bain, un wc et la cuisine ont été rénovés récemment et sont très propres et moderne. Le reste de la maison nécessiterait une rénovation complète. La maison sent l'humidité et les papiers peints sont décollés. Les 2 pièces à vivre ont des soucis de salpetre. Mais le ménage était correctement fait, le problème n'est pas la propreté mais bien la vétusté.

En famille dans le Limousin

Très belle maison, bien équipée. Très bien située : départ de belles randonnées à proximité, à deux pas d'Ambazac, au calme. Idéal pour profiter de la région ! Petit bémol sur les chambres du deuxième étage plutôt pour des enfants.

De très bonnes vacances en famille

Nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances en famille, profitant sur place de la piscine, du jardin et de l'abri pour les repas en extérieur. L'endroit est idéalement situé pour découvrir la région qui est magnifique avec des lacs, des forêts et de très beaux paysages.
