Charming Country Cottage With Large Heated Pool In Monbazillac, near Bergerac

This stone built cottage consists of a large living room with a kitchen and dining area, one bedroom and a bathroom. It is attached to our traditional Perigordine farmhouse, but still maintains its independence. Situated on a plateau at the edge of the village of Monbazillac, it is an idyllic spot to sample the pleasures that the Dordogne has to offer and is conveniently located just 7 minutes from Bergerac airport. It has a lovely heated swimming pool (13m x 6m), shared with the owners, set below a rockery and not overlooked by the main house. One can walk through vines and woodland without leaving the property. The village of Monbazillac is quiet, dominated by its 16th century chateau and famous vineyards. Ten minutes away by car is the town of Bergerac, full of shops, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, and of course, the beautiful old town (complete with Cyrano statues) and riverside port. There are markets on most days in the bastide towns, and night markets in the summer for local outdoor eating and drinking.

A lovely home from home in perfect location
This was a wonderful place, ideal both for relaxation and from which to explore the area. The location was so peaceful and the gite had everything that we could need. We loved having the pool and Martin, Gwen and family were the perfect considerate hosts with great recommendations on local restaurants and Caves. We’d definitely love to come back again, next time bringing the car to fill up on the amazing Monbazillac wines!

A new favourite Gite.
We were looking for a restful holiday and this Gite provided that. The location set amidst the vines with no immediate neighbours was ideal for us. Not only did the accommodation fully met our needs but the owners got the balance of friendliness and respecting our privacy just right. In our own assessment of all the Gites we have stayed in over the years we have now found a new number one in our list and highly recommend it. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely property full of character and charm. tastefully decorated and with everything you need. The tranquil setting is beautiful, just outside of Monbazillac and a few minutes from Bergerac and Issegiac. Martin is a fantastic host and we look forward to staying with him again. Martin if you wondered what we were doing on our last morning, we saw two hoopoe and were trying to get a decent photo! Thank you for everything, we had a super time.

Wonderful location!
From the moment we entered the property up a long gravel driveway, we were hooked. The main house and our attached gite sit on a hilltop on a bright grassy meadow surrounded by miles of vineyards, so there are no noisy neighbors or traffic noise anywhere nearby. A hiking trail around the area passes by the gite about fifty yards away, and by following the yellow blaizes you can do an hour loop around the village on foot that takes you up to the Chateau de Monbazillac and the wine tasting center on the grounds. Both are worth visiting for history and for delicious wine at not cost (try the 2011 Chateau Montbazillac -- so sweet and delicious it tastes like sherry). You can buy anything you taste there in the shop, of course. Our host Martin couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating, and it was fun to hear his descriptions of the area. He provides his guests with a comprehensive guidebook in English and French that contains valuable information about everything from good local restaurants to using the Internet routers on the property. The week we spent here was the best of our three weeks in France -- relaxing, great weather, and lots of exploring the wine country.

Perfect Gite in a nice location
As many other reviews stated prior to our visit Martin and his family are attentive hosts while giving the privacy required to enjoy your stay. We arrived late evening and were welcomed by Martin who gave us a introduction to the gite and the area. The gite was lovely and clean with everything you’d need for a stay. The surrounding area is lovely for a walk and a visit to the chateau with the main town of Bergerac a 5 min drive away . We’d defiantly stay again !

A wonderful stay
This was our first stay in a gite and it surpassed all our expectations. Martin was there to greet us and show us around this delightful property. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and efficient, the shower especially so. This is a quiet idyllic spot yet only 10 mins from the town of Bergerac. We certainly recommend this property and would love to return one day

Enjoyable week beside a vineyard
We enjoyed our time at this gite which is situated beside a vineyard and very close to a beautiful Chateu. The swimming pool is shared with the owner but we had it to ourselves the whole time we were there. We felt that some of the furnishings could do with a freshen up but there was everything there that we needed and the gite was clean when we arrived. The owner Martin was lovely and very friendly. If we needed anything he was very obliging and helpful.

IDYLIC GITE - PERFECT LOCATION
My husband and I have just returned from our first trip to the Dordogne and Bergerac. We stayed at Martin's gite just outside the village of Monbazillac and cannot praise it too highly. Although so close to the airport (7-8 minutes!) and to Bergerac itself we found ourselves in a beautiful location with peace and quiet guaranteed! The gite itself was perfect for us and the grounds and vinyards surrounding the beautiful Perigordian farmhouse and outbuildings are the perfect place to relax. To have the use of the beautiful pool and garden was a huge bonus. We can only add to the praise already left by others - Martin is the perfect host. Unobtrusive but friendly and very helpful when needed. A memorable stay and we have pencilled in next September for a return visit.

Relaxing and delightful retreat
My family and I - two adults and one teen - spent four lovely days at the cottage, where we were able to relax by the pool as well as spend a of couple days exploring local villages and the wider Dordogne region. Martin is a wonderful host, who despite dealing with the after math of torrential rains the night before we arrived, still greeted us with good cheer and lots of helpful information. If we are ever back in this part of France, we would happily stay here again!

A lovely cottage with a friendly owner
The cottage was well-equipped and comfortable. It is situated in extensive grounds and the nearby swimming pool was large and heated. The location was quiet, but only about a mile from Monbazillac and within 10 minutes of both the airport and the town of Bergerac. The area boasts a huge number of vineyards, including Chateau Monbazillac, where you can have tastings and buy the famous sweet dessert wine. Martin, the owner, was an excellent host being helpful and friendly, but not intrusive.

Autumn Stay at Les Croux
Les Croux is a compact space of Bedroom, living area and shower room, however the space is well used and the furnishings are comfortable. Being November we did not use the pool but I did relax in a chair with a book by it and it was easy to imagine what a nice place it must be in the warmer months. It was nice to find a property like this - ideal for two people but with the benefit you get with larger lets. The immediate area around Les Croux affords many choices of constitutional walks from 5 minutes to a few hours through vines and woods - the choice is yours. Martin was a superb host without being intrusive - can't ask for better than that. Would we return one day - yes but maybe in the warmer months to fully experience the poolside and share a drink with Martin - Thank you Alan Whitehouse

Comfortable gite set in a large garden surrounded by vineyards.
A very relaxing holiday at Les Croux. The gite was well maintained and the pool and barbeque area beautiful, though sadly we weren't able to use them as much as we would have liked due to the changeable weather. Martin, the owner, was very helpful and friendly.

Monbazillac gite
A lovely well equipped and clean gite caters for 4 persons with pull out bed and separate bedroom. Oozes rustic charm, owner Martin very pleasant and helpful with excellent knowledge of the areas in the Dordogne. If you are a keen cyclist the surrounding areas are safe to ride through stunning countryside albeit a bit hilly. Cycles provided free by Martin. Large adjacent pool with sun lounges and towels provided. Car essential due to rural position. Great location for those wishing to get away from it all.

Excellent location to explore the Dordogne
Stayed for four days in May to explore the region and generally relax. The location of the house is perfect, beautiful and very peaceful about 15 - 20 min walk from Monbazillac. The gite is well equipped with everything you need and a very comfy bed. The weather was great so we made full use of the swimming pool which is well maintained with plenty of furniture. Martin was very helpful and the gave us lots of information and recommendations on local bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay again, thoroughly recommended.

10 tage Urlaub / 10 day stay
wir waren 10 Tage bei Martin zu Gast und wurden herzlich empfangen. Er war immer da wenn er gebraucht wurde und sonst unaufdringlich und hilfsbereit und freundlich. Ein guter Gastgeber. Die Unterkunft war geräumig, bequem, sauber und mit allem erdenklichen ausgerüstet. Das Grundstück ist riesig und in einer wunderbaren, ruhigen Lage inmitten von Weinbergen mit einem beheizten Schwimmbad. Viele historische Sehenswürdigkeiten sind in einem Tagesausflug zu erreichen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hier Urlaub machen. It may look like all the reviews are top notch but the reason is that there are very few places that deserve it , this little heaven is really all that you could wish for to rent for your holiday and deserved every star, it was a great stay , a great base from which to explore and a great host that give you alot of freedom on and around his property.
