Avis La maison d’Etang

Cadre très agréable dans une maison atypique. Quel bonheur d'avoir des chambres à coucher climatisées. Des sorties sportives et touristiques. Absence d'un micro onde pour les plats cuisinés. Pas de décodeur pour la TV mais une connexion chromecast nécessitant l'installation d'une application sur le téléphone portable, ce qui a pénalisé les petits enfants et les personnes âgées.

Charmant propriétaire avec un cadre bucolique ..

Sylvio and Monique were lovely and the perfect hosts. Kept us well informed and were there if we needed them.

Overall a nicely refurbished traditional property, very good kitchen, excellent bathrooms. Everything brand new and good quality (appliances, utensils, linens etc). Host/property manager are friendly, helpful and responsive. Well located for Perigord Vert attractions and Thiviers is a lovely village with everything you need. Property needs some improvement: - 3rd bedroom not really ready for use (no door, temporary steps) not made fully clear in the listing - Pool is not on the property or sole use. It’s the owners pool next door. Again not clear on the listing. Pool heating / filtration only worked for 1.5 days of our week rendering it unusable for most of the stay. - Garden and outdoor areas need a lot of work. No covered outdoor seating / eating area at all. Front of property gets most of the sun and no seating area or terrace there. Back terrace gets sun only for about an hour early morning. Means no sunny place to have a barbecue or eat dinner outside Overall nice but the things above would need to be rectified for me to return as they really affect the quality of the stay I would not recommend for families with small children (pond isn’t fenced or safe) or elderly / mobility limited guests (stairs are very steep)

This is a fantastic and relaxing place to stay for a week. The children loved the games, table tennis and space in the garden. The house overlooks a large pond that is full of wildlife to watch and there is a nice short walk around it through the trees. The furnishings are very tastefully done and the rooms are all spacious. 15 minutes drive away is one of the best lakes for swimming we have found with a great sandy beach, clear warm water and a small cafe serving good take away food. The owners are very friendly and always available if needed but give you all the privacy you need. The only small issue is that on our week the weather had some bad days and the house was a little cold but there is a big fire that can be used. All in all a great place to stay.
