A family celebration
We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful characterful farmhouse and surroundings. Everything is well appointed and great for three generations enjoying a family celebration together. The plum trees were also a big hit! Many thanks.

Tranquil & secluded beautiful barn renovation.
Impressive refurbished barn conversion, which gave an immediate wow factor on walking through the door. Although this barn was completed in 2003, it has been sympathetically restored to a very high standard keeping original features but with all the mod cons that make it a fabulous place to stay. The mezzanine levels were ideal for our teenagers, allowing them space if needed and the beds were very comfortable indeed. We were a party of 2 families & never felt on top of each other, whether we were around the pool, eating around the large outdoor tables or playing games in the cosy double height lounge area. The pool table, table tennis and plum orchard were also a big hit. Kathleen & Omar were extremely helpful both before our arrival & during our stay, with ideas of interesting local activities. A visit to the local night markets in Duras exceeded our expectations & a visit to the vineyard up the road to see Titou is a must, but leave plenty of time to chat and try the wines. We would thoroughly recommend La Grivette as a base to visit Bordeaux, Bergerac and St Emilion and it was so nice to return to the tranquil setting after a hard days sight-seeing. We would definitely consider revisiting La Grivette if back in the area.

Excellent Property
The property is well maintained with excellent views across to the church where you can hear the bells ringing every hour. We were a family of 11 and the farm house was perfect for all the ages from 2 to 60. The added table tennis and pool table kept the children and adults entertained. The owners could not have been more helpful from the initial booking to arrival. The owner Omar informed us of attractions including the local vineyard and its charismatic owner, Titous. He was more than happy to show us round his factory. A special thanks to the gardener, Chris who met us when we arrived early and directed us to the local shops. The Duras night market was excellent as was the local tree top adventure park which is very close by. A relaxing holiday and I would recommend the farm house to others.

La Grivette, all that we hoped for and so much more!
After a month long stay in September, we are left with only fond memories of our time at this gem in Saint Colombo de Duras. The restored farm was the perfect balance of original character and modern comfort and the location couldn’t be beat. Waking to the sound of a distant rooster and a daily visit of a small herd of sheep and cattle just added to the ambiance. The sunsets and view looking out from the back patio were amazing; vineyards, farms and an ancient church with its bell ringing throughout the day. Our family enjoyed the many outdoor spaces to gather for alfresco dining, delicious food from the nearby villages of Duras and Monsegur and of course the wine! With lots of space, pool and game room, all members of our family had the most comfortable and pleasant stay. Omar, Sam and Fifi made us feel at home and provided us with local information and suggestions of farm markets, sightseeing and calendar events. With so many places to see within an easy drive, we struck out to medieval villages, wineries, weekly markets and mystery rides and were never disappointed. With our youngest family member taking his first steps in France, all the wonderful people we met and so many remarkable experiences, it was a holiday to always remember.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with La Grivette - at the time only an abandoned farm house - during a long weekend visiting friends who lived in the area. It was a real 'coup de coeur' from the minute I saw the front courtyard, overgrown with abandoned roses, until we opened the back window that perfectly frames the Roman church off in the village. That was it - I had to own it. Little did I imagine the decade it would take to renovate... but that makes for interesting stories and we had great vacations with family, friends and anyone else I could convince to come camp and work on the property.

What makes this property unique

La Grivette is unique because of its charm and its isolated location. So many of the old farms were built right along the road, or have neighboring houses right next to them. If you are looking for tranquility, beautiful views, gorgeous sunsets over a Roman church, lovely walks, and the best night sleep you've ever had, then La Grivette is ideal place for you.
