We stayed at Macou for three weeks in June, 2016. It is a wonderful house and has every convenience one could ask for. The description is completely accurate and the house was spotless when we arrived. If you want peace and quiet, this is the house for you. It is on a large parcel of land (over 15 acres) and there are no neighbors nearby. The lawn, flowers and trees are well maintained and beautiful and we enjoyed sitting under one of the large oak trees in the front yard and reading or relaxing. We especially enjoyed the outdoor spa and used it every day. We did not use it much, but there is a large flat-screen TV with plenty of channels and a DVD player. You will need to bring your own movies.
Mr. and Mrs. Delmon were perfect and did everything they could to make sure that we were comfortable and that we understood all of the appliances and devices in the house. We really appreciated the extra efforts they went to in order to communicate with us. They do not speak English and we speak only a little French but Mrs. Delmon was very skilled in using her smart phone as a translation/interpretation tool so we were able to understand each other very well.
The house is just three kilometers from the bastide town of Monpazier where there are restaurants, a wonderful boulangerie, and many shops. There are two small grocery stores but to find a supermarket you will have to drive 20-25 minutes. The location is about 30 km south of the Dordogne River, an hour from Bergerac and about two hours from Bordeaux. Nearly every day we drove off to visit a different destination. Within an hour or two are famous attractions such as La Roque Saint Christophe, Sarlat, Perigueux, Limeuil, Monbazillac, Rocamadour, Cahors, Moissac, Saint Emilion, etc. The drive to Toulouse airport takes about 2.5 hours.
We can highly recommend this house and we hope for another opportunity to return. There is a wood-burning stove and plenty of firewood so even in the colder seasons it must be very comfortable and cozy.
