Lot et Garonne Holiday Gite with Private Pool near Castillonnes Reviews

Before we even got to France Charmaine had been in touch several times trying to get information to make the experience as great as possible. We arrived to a spotlessly clean place to be greeted by Charmaine. The kids immediately headed for the bedrooms and found a bed fit for a princess and another along side it made for a pirate with buckets of associated toys and a collection of DVD's based on the information extracted from me previously! Two very happy children. A selection of cheese, some bread, wine and other provisions were sitting on the kitchen counter along with a bottle of fizz on ice! Two very happy parents! Charmaine checked that we were ok for everything every couple of days and Sam did the same when cleaning the pool. The house itself is just the right size, a lovely terrace out front, looking out towards the Bastide of Castillones. A wonderful medieval village with the usual amenities and a small supermarket During the day we visited various attractions in the surrounding area, all of which were thoroughly enjoyed by the children. Evenings were spent eating from the BBQ and sampling some of the local wine of which there are many vineyards to choose from. I've rented many places in France over the years but no one has ever gone that extra mile like Charmaine has. I would definitely recommend to my family and friends and look forward to returning in the near future.
