Guest comments
We have been staying in rented farmhouses in France as a family for many years and in our opinion this was one of the best value for money and easily the best equipped with a really lovely pool. Rarely have we had so much space despite being within a short walk/drive to village shops and amenities. With children it is also important that the property is not cluttered and difficult to manage. We found Amouroux welcoming but not so full of personal/precious items that it was difficult to relax. Wonderful to have the table and chairs both sides of the house and the use of the extra freezer in the cellar so we didn’t have to go shopping every couple of days. Really appreciate the pool towels also as this is a real issue as luggage allowances get lower and lower on cheap flights. Lots of helpful information about the house and area was easily to hand. We had a great time and would definitely hire the house if we return to the area. The house was clean.
Owner profile
About the owner
We sold our apartment in the Alps and moved to the Lot one year ago. The choice was easy after falling in love with this house at first glance.
Year purchased: 2010
Why the owner chose a home in this location
The house is great in the very quiet environment. It is almost at the top of the hill, so the long views are spectacular. And go for the gorgeous sunsets!
