Everything about La Vieille Grange = Relaxation! Its very private, in an amazing location and a perfect place to get away from it all. Our stay was filled with bbq's, great wines, walks and swimming. It's a really spacious property, with private gardens and was well equipped with everything that we needed including easy acccess to wi-fi for the iPads! Unless you are a keen walker I would recommend having a car (open top :) I would have no hesitation in recommending this property. We've already booked to return this summer for 3 weeks and counting the days...
We stayed at Laurie's place for three nights, the main attraction being he was more than willing to offer us this shorter time span that the standard week
The property is in a very quiet part of the area, approached by a longish driveway The house has all the amenities, and some, you could be looking for in a holiday rental.....fabulously stocked kitchen being prime The pool area is nicely screened behind an out building, and is in excellent state of repair & cleanliness
We received the, what looks as standard, hosts reception and basket of local produce, a really great touch from Laurie He spent some time explaining the layout, functions etc before departing
I would readily recommend Laurie and his house to others....he initially made us feel very welcome & then left us to enjoy our relaxing stay
The website photos seemed too good to be true. However, our expectations were exceeded by the reality. On the one hand we were, for selfish reasons, reluctant to share our secret hideaway with others, but on the other hand it needs to be said that La Vieille Grange is the perfect romantic destination. It is indeed a true reflection of rural France.
Surrounded by beautiful vineyards above a wooded valley, this historic old house has been sensitively refurbished and tastefully decorated offering the ideal combination of style and comfort.
The discreet owner, Laurie, is the perfect host – welcoming and most obliging, offering information and suggestions for activities in St Emilion and the surrounding areas.
We have every intention of returning to La Vieille Grange for another holiday and that is surely an indication of our recommendation to anyone considering this property.
A lovely week was spent by my girlfriend and I in Laurie's house about 20km from the beautiful town of St. Emilion.
The property is set amongst the vines of a local vineyard and provides a secluded setting to get away from it all. A car is a necessity, but with one the places of interest are not too far away, including Bordeaux being less than an hour away.
We were welcomed by the home owner, Laurie, who also provided us with a wonderful basket of food and local wine, which was very well received by us! The house had everything we needed, including great open kitchen and dining areas (indoor & outdoor) along with washing machine, internet & TV, and a splendid bedroom upstairs.
A great wee break in a property that I would recommend to any couple wanting a quiet week relaxing and unwinding!
Our stay in Ruch fantastic. The house has been very well renovated and is very nicely furnished. We've enjoyed a very quiet and peaceful environment: nothing around to disturb you, the house is only surrounded by wineyards. Nice way to discover a really typical French countryside, small villages, local markets with fresh and tasty products, and wineries.
No bad surprises: the house is really how it looks like on the photos and Laurie has been a very welcoming guest. We highly recommend this house if u want to spend some days in the South West of France.
Car ( convertible :-)) needed.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Ruch, l'été dernier. La maison est splendide, très bien rénovées et meublée avec goût. Vous apprécierez le calme: rien aux alentours pour vous déranger lorsque vous profiterez de la piscine pour vous rafraîchir. Très joli endroit pour découvrir d'autres aspects de la Gironde et se reposer.
Pas de mauvaise surprise: la maison est vraiment telle qu'elle apparaît sur les photos. Laurie a été un excellent hôte au cours de notre séjour. Location recommandée pour un séjour à la campagne.
Une voiture est nécessaire dans la mesure où le village le plus proche est à qq kms.
