We had a lovely week’s holiday in la Gîte de Lys at the beginning of Aug 22.
Set on a vineyard in a rural idyllic location the Gîte is well equipped, very clean and the location is beautiful.
The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. We really enjoyed the bottle of wine that they gave us, it is a very rare treat to drink a glass of wine standing amongst the vines from where it came.
St Emilion is just 5mins drive away and we enjoyed our sunset strolls and ate well in the restaurants.
We visited Bergerac, Marmande and enjoyed the French markets at Castillon le Bataille and Libourne. We also visited Bordeaux which is only 40mins away.
We spent time at le Lac de Gurson where we enjoyed swimming and also walking amongst the pines. There is also free canoeing, volleyball and a beach. It is very well set up, very clean and with changing rooms and a good cafe. Worth a visit, not busy at all and we went in the peak of summer.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Gîte and will remember this special area fondly.
Thank you to our hosts for their hospitality.
