Stunning Holiday Rental Homes in Lot, Luzech, France - Domaine de Roubignol Reviews

We enjoyed our stay at Roubignol enormously. We loved everything, especially of course the tower, and the terraces and pool of the main house. We felt honoured to be entrusted with such a large and beautiful property for the week and did our best to look after it as responsibly as we could. I also discovered how pleasurable it was to keep the pool maintained, evicting all leaves and insects/frogs every day and giving Percy (the pool robot) a good workout on occasion.

Other things we loved :
- the figs (sorry, we ate quite a few!)
- the lizards which almost became pets.
- the peace, quiet and solitude.
- the local walks, especially the Balcon (stunning views), the route through St Vincent Rive d'Or going around on the botanic path and returning via the valley below the Balcon up to the road beyond Roubignol. This makes a great 5 to 6 mile walk.
- the weather, sunny and hot all week.

As well as exploring the local area (e.g. walks up to the ridge behind Luzech castle ; drives to Belaye and St Circ La Popie) during our week we cycled the veloroute from Cahors to about 10 miles beyond Fumel stopping off to explore gems such as Puy L'Eveque and local villages en route. It was a lovely time of year to be there with all of the vines and orchards ready for harvest. The only hard part was when we had to cycle back up the hill to Roubignol on occasion, tiring work in the heat after 40+ miles, but it made a dip in the pool even more wonderful!

Thanks very much for allowing us to stay at Roubignol, it was a great week that we'll remember with great fondness for ever.
