This is just the perfect gite. Spacious, beautifully decorated and full of thoughtful little touches.
Arriving after a twelve hour drive in the pouring rain, just days after a heatwave had hit the area, we weren't in the best of moods, but the gite lifted our spirits no end.
It was just myself and my fiancé with our nine year old daughter so we had plenty of space to relax in.
It really felt like home with the generous number of appliances and utensils plus all the little essentials (soap, laundry liquid, black pepper, sugar, bin bags, kitchen roll, vegetable oil etc etc) I'd forgotten to buy at the intermarche as I'd rushed around five minutes before it closed.
Once the rain cleared, we ventured into the beautiful garden area to relax.
We met Quitterie who was hugely welcoming and who forgave my poor French and gave lots of helpful advice (thankfully I'm good at listening in French!)
Le Tourne has a fabulous bakery within easy reach for the daily pain au chocolate and baguette purchase and the intermarche is minutes away by car for barbecue and wine essentials.
It's a great location for wine Country, although be warned the traffic on the route to Arcachon is troublesome - particularly when you drive it four out of seven days (the joys of having a nine year old in tow!)
All in all we loved it and wished we had stayed longer. We will no doubt be back soon.
Merci pour votre hospitalitie, Quitterie
