Maison d'Alexandra is a well appointed home. Well equipped for your holiday requirements. All of our guests have fallen in love with the house and it's location. The marble floors, grand stone fireplace, large dining table and very comfortable leather seating all provide a great space for relaxing or entertaining with family or friends. The terrace and garden are a sun trap during the day and the ideal area to barbecue on an evening while watching the sun set over the river or perhaps a late evening coffee after a fabulous meal at one of the villages Riverside Restaurants. All three bedrooms have wonderful views at the front of the property and are therefore equally light, airy and spacious. This stunning area is great for walking, cycling, canoeing, horse riding, fishing, swimming, days out and enjoying local food/wine. A Wonderful place to spend Christmas or New Year with friends or family!

Why the owner chose a home in this location
Once you have visited Maison d'Alexandra you will know why we fell in love with this property and it's location. We had visited the lovely old port of Port-De-Gagnac on many occasions and commented on its beautiful setting over-looking the River and Surrounding rolling hills. To be able to enjoy fabulous food and wine then walk back home is just perfect! Spending time relaxing on the balcony and terrace while the BBQ is cooking and you are enjoying a bottle of wine - the children are playing in the garden or watching the ducks swimming and herons fishing on the River with the local Fisherman. Walking distance to a play park, local shop,post office, bars and restaurants as well as relaxing,sight seeing or adventure days out for all the family!
Unique benefits of the property
Maison d'Alexandra is a very spacious property. Very light and airy with lovely big windows to enjoy the views. Optional out door seating areas for different occasions are especially useful for a larger family. The grand dining room with it's huge stone fireplace is always very popular with our guests as it leads out onto the balcony over the River. All three bedrooms are a good size and all have the same views over the river. Having two bath/shower rooms is also a bonus for two couples sharing the house. Believe it or not the kitchen is also a favourite with many of our recent guests as it leads out onto the balcony and also has lovely views of the river. Anyone who enjoyes fishing need look no further than right outside the front door!
