Family house on a Bordeaux winery, overlooking a garden with century old trees

Chateau la Gontrie is an ideal base to discover all the beauties and treasures of Bordeaux and its region. You will enjoy all the modern comfort of a fully self-catering holiday house staying in a calm lovely hilly countryside on a family owned winery. The wine maker and owner Jean-Louis (bi-lingual in English) and Nola (his Australian wife) and their daughters Andrea and Laura will be delighted to share their passion for Bordeaux and its region and will be happy to help you make your holidays a most enjoyable experience .

You can relax on this 11-hectare property, surrounded by the gardens, vines and forest of Château la Gontrie. Less than 50 meters from the holiday house there is a large hswimming pool area (secured for children) with a heated shared pool of 12m x 6m. This haven of peace is only 25 minutes from Bordeaux.

An end of stay cleaning is included in the price you will find full details on our contract . If you wish house keeping during your stay during your holiday it is possible a sur charge of 120€ per cleaning will apply.

Description of the holiday house: Le Magnolia: 3 bedrooms – 4 to 6 guests :

The typical Gironde’s façade of the holiday house “Le Magnolia" overlooks a large park which ends in the vines. You will be seduced by its authentic family house look and its modern comfort (Wi-Fi, larges sofas, TV, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen).

The ground floor consists of a large entrance, a living room with 2 sofas, a piano, a TV; a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen (fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, electric stove, coffee maker, electric kettle, microwave), 1 toilet, a shower room and a pantry.

On the first floor a large landing leads to: a big parental room with a bed of 1,6m x 2m; a bathroom (shower, bath and washbasin), a separate toilet; a twin bedroom with 2 beds 1m x 2m and finally the 2nd large parental bedroom with ensuite ( shower, washbasin and toilet)
The Magnolia’s garden is equipped with a barbecue, a table and garden chairs.

Staying on a family owned wine property you will benefit from a free English visit of the vineyard, winery and tasting of our 6 different wines. This visit and wine tasting takes about 1hour and a half.

Passionate about their region, Jean-Louis, Nola and Andréa (their daughter) will be very happy to share their local knowledge and their favourites places with you to help you discover the best of the area.

This is an ideal destination for a family holiday or to share with some friend in a spacious and self-catered holiday house. The beautiful green surroundings in the middle of the vines will help you to relax and experience life on a family Bordeaux winery.

In the grounds there is table tennis, a volley ball area and swings for the children. We also provide free bicycles to ride to our local bakery (800meters) for the croissant lovers or to go and get some oysters (from the Bassin d’Arcachon) Sunday morning in the village.

Peaceful Setting

This property is in a quiet location based on a working vineyard. The property is approx a 30 min easy drive from Bordeaux airport. When we arrived the property did not disappoint. It was as described online. The kitchen is well furnished with all utensils and equipment. The living area is spacious, clean and comfortable. The stairs to the upper floor separates the 2 areas. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were clean. Jean-Louis and Nola were always on hand if required but not intrusive. Jean-Louis has a wide knowledge of the area and helped us plan areas to visit. The property is within easy reach of St Emillion, Sauternes and many other wine producing areas. If you want good wine then try the produce of Jean-Louis. Each Sunday you can purchase fresh oysters in the village,goes down well with Jeans produce.The Village is a 10 min easy walk and there are various bigger shops within 20 mins drive.Loose yourself in the countryside its relaxing.If you enjoy photography like me then you have a choice of quiet villages, chateaus or Bordeaux itself. There were many elements which made this an enjoyable holiday. If I am in this area again I will stay at this property again.

Typisch französisch, großzügig aber auch etwas überholt

Das Haus hat einen typisch französischen Flair, wirkt aber manchmal auch etwas überholt. Die Räume sind sehr großzügig, aufgrund der alten Bausubstanz ist das Haus sehr hellhörig, was bei kleinen Kindern von Nachteil sein kann. Was fehlt sind Fliegengitter, so dass man mit geschlossenen Fenstern schlafen muss um Mücken im Raum zu vermeiden. Es ist sehr, sehr viel Geschirr vorhanden, so dass viel gekocht und gedeckt werden kann. Der Monsieur ist nett und gibt sehr, sehr viele Informationen (manchmal auch zu langatmig). Die Kommunikation, auch auf Englisch, ist sehr gut. Toll ausgestattet, was Möglichkeiten für Spiele draußen angeht (Tischtennis, Federball, Kubbe, Frisbee....Alles da). Angesichts einer doch nicht gerade preiswerten Unterkunft, hätten wir geschmackvollere und bequemere Gartenmöbel erwartet (die billigen Plastikvarianten sollten bei dergleichen Mietobjekten ausgedient haben). Insgesamt zufrieden, aber nicht herausragend.

Amazing house and great hosts.

Fabulous large Farm House surround by vineyards. Our hosts, Jean-Louie and Nola are wonderful and very helpful about what to see in the Bordeaux region. Our host produce several different wines including red. white and a rose, but also a sparkling wine. Jean-Louie also gave us a wine tasting and some tips about how to enjoy the flavor. Highly recommend this farm house.

Relaxing family friendly holiday

We spent a lovely week in this traditionally furnished farmhouse, set in a large estate and working vineyard. The pictures are a very acurate representation of the house. The house, especially the kitchen was well equipped and had everything you would need for a self catering holiday. The pool was well maintained and child friendly. The availability of cycles for the entire family was very welcome. Our host, John-Louis was extremely helpful in guiding us about what to do in the surrounding area. We enjoyed his wine tour which was followed by a wine tasting of his produce. The location was convenient as a base for day trips to places like St Emilion and Bordeaux. A car is necessary to enjoy the region. The only downside is that there was not much to see or do in the local villages. We would recommend this house to those looking for a quiet base to have a relaxing holiday and for those interested in wine tasting experiences.

Beautiful stay, would highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property! Jean-Louis and Nola were fantastic hosts, organising us a taxi from Bordeaux airport to the property due to our late night arrival, and ensuring we had everything we needed for a fantastic week. The property itself is absolutely beautiful! Extremely spacious and cleaned to a very high standard. It is surrounded by amazing vineyards and a large garden area. The swimming pool is also perfect for a relaxing week in the sun! The setting of the property is completely idyllic, just a short walk / bike ride away from the local supermarket and bakery. We did not have a car for our stay and so used the bus to get into Bordeaux for a couple of day trips. The bus stops just outside the property and really easy to use! We also made great use of the bicycles available at the property to explore the immediate local area. We would highly recommend this property and look forward to staying again at some point in the future! Massive thank you for Jean-Louis and Nola!!

Beautiful property, very high standard, really well equipped and great hosts.

My wife and two of our children were lucky enough to pick this property for our week away at the end of August. I honestly can’t think of a thing that was wrong with the entire experience. The welcome was excellent, the information provided by the host both in relation to the region and the property were only outshone by the wonderful, honest and interesting wine tour and tasting experience provided. We would recommend this to any family looking to relax l, have easy access to the enormous amount of activities and beautiful countryside and enjoy getting to understand more about the world of wine. My daughter never wanted to leave and all the family said this was the best holiday ever. A simple recipe of a great and well equipped property and an interested and interesting host. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt welcome the entire time. In honesty we have very little French between us and have always worried about how people react to this but this was never an issue for our host and we thank them the more for it. Thank you for a great holiday and we hope to return as soon as we can.

Fabulous Family house in Saint Capraix de Bordeaux!!!

We were in Saint Capraix de Bordeaux for one week in July in this fantastic house. The house is wonderful, splendid, comfortable and have all you could need. It is an ancient family house with big windows, a lot of light at home, with so much space to enjoy inside. Through the windows you can see the vineyards. Is very beatiful!! You can know their vineyards and their vins. The owners are very, very kind, nice and friendly with us!! We took bikes to go to the little village and swam in the swimmingpool. My family and I really enjoyed in this house! May be next summer we will return!!

A Rare Gem!

We were looking for an authentic farmhouse and La Magnolia lived up to to all our expectations. There was more than ample space for a family of 4 with our 2 teenage children each having their own room. The property is well presented and looks out over a grassy area and on to the vineyard. Location wise it was ideal being just a short drive to Bordeaux and about 90 minutes to the Atlantic coast. And then there are the owners Jean-Louis and Nola. What fantastic hosts! Jean-Louis was always available to answer questions about the area, good local restaurants, market days, family activities such as wind surfing, canoeing and cycling and everything that only local knowledge can provide. And to cap it all, there was the tour of the vineyard, the wine making process and a tasting. We are not wine buffs but the wine was first class! Its also available to buy, so we did and are still enjoying it now we're back in the UK.
