Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our stay in Olive Tree Gite. It is in a perfect location for exploring the region and really felt like home away from home for us. We hope to return some time in the future and would not hesitate to recomend you to our friends.
Thank you for being such good hosts and making such a lovely environment.
Owner profile

About the owner
My wife Gail and I had idyllic holidays here as our children grew up, canoeing and fishing on the River Dordogne, spending lazy days on the beaches at Arcachon and basking in the warm summer evenings as tasty beef steaks grilled on the barbecue. We get a real thrill helping our guests get the best from their stay here in our corner of La Belle France. Whether it be arranging a visit to Chateau de la Riviere for a tour and tasting of their luscious wines, or organising a gentle paddle down the River Dordogne in a canoe. When our guests are happy we are happy.
Year purchased: 1980's
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We love being in amongst the vineyards and close to Saint Emilion but also where they make our local wine which isn't well known but very gluggable indeed.
We think the markets are just great for food shopping and love all the medieval towns which are lovely to explore.
If we want a day at the coast we can easily make it in a day and when we want the buzz of the city we can be in cosmopolitan Bordeaux within an hour.
Unique benefits of the property
Olive Tree Gite occupies the upper part of a big stone barn which we converted 5 years ago. We like the open plan living area and kitchen and most of all the private deck which is perfect for outside meals and barbecues and feels a bit like a treehouse tucked up and under the branches of an oak tree. It has a lovely view of the garden and pool and the hillside beyond.
