We instantly fell in love with this beautiful home and the stunning village of Gaucin.
The house has everything you could possibly need, and is so incredibly spacious. We had a terrace each! My favourite part of the day was reading my book with a cup of tea, before the hubby and kids got up, on the terrace off the main lounge, looking at the stunning views. Bliss.
We opted to have the pool heated - it was just a little bit chilly for us. This was no problem for Esther, the lovely property manager who looked after us from day one. There was a problem with the pool pump not working - again, great communication with Esther and the problem was fixed the very next morning.
The house is incredibly well located, right in the middle of this stunning "white village", a few minutes' walk from all the restaurants, supermarkets and sights of Gaucin. We were lucky enough to go during their fiesta, and there was live music in the square every night. We also ventured up to the castle - a fairly easy uphill hike, but best to avoid doing in the heat of the day.
The house is old and quirky, which we loved. Probably not so good for very young children or those of reduced mobility. The stairs down to the kitchen and garden area are exceptionally steep, and I took a tumble (sober, I might add!).
We loved staying here, and really hope to come again one day. Thank you to Andrew and Sally for sharing your home with us. Highly, highly recommended.
