We spent 8 extremely relaxing days at Saint Christoly de Blaye. The cottage is situated on a large property and is part of the main building. The owner lives next door; however, she is very discreet and we hardly ever saw her. The accommodation is well equipped with good kingsize beds and very clean. There was everything we needed. The main attraction is the beautiful terrace and pool area with lots of chairs, loungers and sun umbrellas. Wonderful for children too as there is lots of land with forrest to roam and there are donkeys, ducks and chicken.
The owner , Valerie , was very friendly & accommodating. With our little French and Valerie's efforts in English we managed to communicate all the important issues. Thank you, Valerie, for a wonderful week at your lovely place.
During our stay we visited Bordeaux, 50min by car, the Medoc wine region - a day trip and St. Emilion, also approx 45 min by car. The Chateaux Dubraud just around the corner offers superb wine tastings with or without food. Just give them a quick call - they speak very good English and German and are very flexible on the times. We would come again.
