This was the ideal choice for a holiday outside yet near to Bordeaux. Excellent communication from owner Emmanuel during the booking process, where nothing was too much trouble. And this continued during our stay, with delightful owners discreet yet on hand if a problem (massive electric storm during which Emmanuel rushed over with extra candles). Before the break in the weather we enjoyed the spacious, clean pool and its surroundings. Very large garden planted with many different kinds of trees. All terrifically peaceful. The journey into Bordeaux required a short hop on the motorway, and then negotiation with the trams and bikes. Easy once done - Bordeaux is now designed for pedestrians! We needed to go in several times as our daughter was starting at university there. A wonderfully vibrant city with so much to do, with an extraordinary choice of bars and restaurants. St Caprais, a good village with excellent baker and above average small supermarket, is also with easy reach of all the other important places to visit, St Emilion for instance.
We always enjoyed coming back to our holiday house, though: plenty of room to eat outside, well equipped kitchen, table tennis in the barn. The house was very comfortable and more spacious than photos suggest. We enjoyed plenty of conversations with these delightful owners, who seem to have mastered the art of melting away so never were we aware that they lived adjacent to us. Couldn't recommend more highly.
