Relaxing family holiday in the sunshine!
Set in the small commune of Sainte-Colombe-de-Duras with a charming Roman church just across the road who’s chimes gently awoke us in the morning - This characterful countryside property has everything you need! By far it’s best feature (for us) was the fantastically sized swimming pool which we spent most of our relaxing time around. Beautiful views across the fields as you take a refreshing dip and let your cares melt away! The location is ideal for 5 mins drive to Duras which has a Chateau, markets, artizanales and bars/restaurants. For the oenophiles I would certainly recommend a visit to Saint-Émilion which was an easy 30-40 mins drive - amazing place - just get there very early to avoid the search for parking! Thanks Julie and Chris - We had a smashing week in the sunshine!

Quiet and relaxing
This property is just the place you need if you want quiet and relaxation . It is adequately furnished , for all your culinary needs . The only thing it is missing is a place near by to get your fresh bread from , but we stocked up every time we went to the local mini supermarket about a 10 minute drive away in Duras . The outside furniture could do with a bit of a refurb , but on the whole it was very pleasant to sit outside at night and listen to all the different birds and the church bells and eat the grapes off the vine on your patio . Don't forget your mosquito repellent! They were certainly active whilst we were there the last 2 weeks of September, also it was harvest time as well , so lots of flies etc . We would like to thank Julie and Chris for helping us out at the end of the holiday as well , super , kind people .

Perfect getaway in very relaxing and peaceful village with beautiful pool and views
Beautiful old and authentic house with beautiful swimming pool and great games room. We spent a week at Sainte-Colombe-de-Duras, two families (4 adults and 4 children). Fantastic accommodating hosts and lovely place to base yourself to explore the local area. All of us loved the swimming pool and games room. Enjoyed having barbeque at the front terrace, kids loved running around as there was plenty of room to play. Kitchen has everything you need. It was useful to have washing machine as we came with kids. If you are looking for calm, peacefull and relaxing holiday, it's the perfect place to be :) Thanks to Julie and Chris.

Great place to stay
The photos do not do this place justice! It is extremely spacious, clean and overall a great place for a holiday with family and/or friends. Lots of space for everyone to enjoy. The owners are friendly and very helpful without being invasive. The pool is huge, with lots of inflatables available, and in the sun all day long. It is ideal for day time lounging. The covered barn area includes a pool table, table tennis table and air hockey table. It also has a bar area with bar chairs, so it's a good place to cool down when the sunshine gets too hot. In the evening the front porch with built in barbecue is the perfect spot for long dinners, as it gets the last of the evening sun and is nicely located next to the kitchen; we used it every night. As the property is in a very quiet location, a car really is mandatory. Shops are to be found without 10 mins or so. We stayed there as a group of six friends and had a lovely time. Would definitely recommend!

A beautifully peaceful location perfect for a relaxing holiday
Julie made us very welcome after a long drive. The house is set in a beautifully peaceful location surrounded by farmland. The house is cool and spacious and comfortable. The pool is a good size and there are also all sorts of games, ping pong, darts etc in the barn so great for kids. This is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday but there's lots to explore too. Duras the nearest village is very pretty and there are masses of vineyards and other villages to visit. Highly recommended.

Wow, was what I thought when I first saw it. Great holiday great unintrusive but friendly owners .
Loved the terrace with BBQ and loved the pool and games room. I am disabled so they even have a wheelchairfriendly shower room on ground level and we changed the lounge to a downstairs bedroom. We loved it . They even let us throw a small bbq hen do ! Great venue. Liz Ranger.

Beautiful house in peaceful countryside near to interesting small towns and villages.
House is beautifully presented and spotlessly clean easily accommodating 6 people. (There were 4 of us). Julie and Chris were on hand for any help needed - just ring the bell on the barn door- but never intrusive, ideal set-up. Lovely unexpected welcome pack of bread,cheese, milk etc, not forgetting her fabulous own free range eggs. Be prepared for the church bells ringing at 7.30 every morning! It's surprising how quickly you get used to it and it's really quite quaint. Our weather was quite mixed with some very hot sunny weather - perfect for relaxing at the pool. Would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a relaxing holiday in a beautiful home.
