A family with 4 children (ages 2, 7, 9, and 11 years old) spent a wonderful week here with plenty to do at the house to spend days not going anywhere and a particularly amazing pool!
Sandrine was efficient and lovely, we had fast communication and check in and check out were really easy.
The place is excellent. The swimming pool is wonderful, clean, secure with sunny and shady seating, a toilet, and lots of toys and floats. We spent a LOT of time at the pool. It is also a really good size to have a proper swim in. It had everything you needed for a family stay. There is a ping pong table, swings and a slides (these had been moved from the picture online so are now up near the pool rather than down by the house).
The house was clean and tidy, a little dusty here and there but everything else was spotless. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of space for our family with 4 children. The other part of the house is also a gite managed by Sandrine with its own swimming pool.
One thing to note (particularly as we have a 2 year old) is that the property is not secure from the woods and the road. The garden is huge so they have to go far to get there but it is something to consider.
The property is very close to Lascaux and well situated for visiting many places. You need to drive everywhere as there is not a village within walking distance but the house has everything you need to be happy not going out as well. Local supermarket is 10-15 minutes away with a Bio store next door that has a good vegetarian selection of food.
Worth doing:
- Lascaux caves obviously!
- There is a great vegetarian and vegan restaurant worth visiting in Thonac (the carnivorous members of our family also enjoyed it and the pizzas are definitely worth the trip).
- Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère is a lovely village along the river for pottering with little shops and just generally beautiful.
- Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère canoeing from here was beautiful.
