About this property

Refurbished Stone Built Farmhouse with Large Pool Set in 7 Acres

The house is a traditional early 19th century stone-built Girondine farmhouse set in 7 acres which is available to rent year-round. It has been fully refurbished, blending many traditional features with modern kitchen and bathrooms. It accommodates 10 people (plus cot) and has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The large, heated private 12 x 6m swimming pool is set in the midst of the garden with views over the adjacent meadow and surrounding mature woodland. Large converted 'play barn'. The house is situated in a small hamlet of 3 houses between the ‘bastide’ market towns of Monsegur and Sauveterre in the heart of the wine growing area of Entre deux Mers. It is approximately 35 minutes from St Emilion and 55 minutes from both Bordeaux and Bergerac airports. There is an ‘Auberge’ accessible via the woods (by adults and older children) with bakers, butchers, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets in the nearest two towns which are 5-10 minutes drive away.

Large gardens in a quiet rural area
We arrived assuming there would be a caretaker or something present but discovered we had never received an email giving us the key code, luckily was able to contact owner by phone via Vrbo app. Unfortunately the email had not been sent via the app. The Gite was good and pool excellent and games room spacious; we had no real problems or issues apart from a small problem with the pool cover which was very promptly dealt with and a bottle of wine left as compensation, a lovely thought. It’s a pity the bedroom downstairs with en-suite shower didn’t also have a WC and had to use the downstairs toilet (only 5 yards from bedroom). I think it always helps to have a floor plan so one can work out whether the bedroom mix works for your group make up. Bedroom doors are glass with net curtains but this doesn’t keep light out and we felt we had to leave corridor lights on with children in the house. Some rooms also had (small) windows without shutters or curtains which let light in early morning; but I’m one for blackout curtains and probably most people won’t find this a problem. We were rushed out at the end of our stay with a 09:30 checkout (even though during the week the gardener had said 10 was fine; apparently the owner was the next group staying and they were already on their way from the airport). We would have liked more time to clean properly. In summary it’s a good Gite very large gardens in a quiet very rural part of the country

Wonderful family holiday
We had a lovely family holiday in Rimons.The house was spacious, very clean and homely, and has a lovely outside area/pool and surrounding garden. The kitchen was very well equipped too and we made use of the great BBQ. The outside seating area offers some shade which was perfect for sitting outside at lunch time. Supermarket is very conveniently located a short drive away which had everything we needed. We also found it very easy to contact Richard and Lisa for any queries while we were at the house. Thanks again, we hope to come back soon!

Stunning stay in the french countryside
A gorgeous stone farmhouse in a leafy secluded part of the countryside - with fantastic fig and apple trees. Accommodating owners, well equipped and comfortable house tastefully renovated. Beautiful pool to spend the day by and a lawn for many a round of cricket and boule. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Post wedding relaxation
Nice family home.Loads of toys for small child.Sadly they forgot to leave linen for the small childs bed but managed using towels instead. Perfect for relaxing after our daughters wedding in Souliac a half hours drive from the property. Very friendly neighbour gave us some of her homegrown vegetables . Well stocked kitchen with every utensil you could ever want.All in all perfect for what we wanted.Some might find it too quiet especially if going for longer than a week

Excellent value for money and highly recommended
The house is splendid and spacious and provides every convenience. The ambiance is much enhanced by the owners choice of furnishings and effects - I particularly liked the array or sketches and other pictures. It is obvious that it is not just a soulless business but a loved second home. We had been concerned about the proximity of the pool to the house and the lack of fencing (because of an active two and a half year old) but in fact whilst being extremely convenient the pool is sufficiently separated from the house not to cause concern. Three families (ourselves and two sons with their partners and child) had ample room to be together but find our own space The situation is delightful being so quiet and peaceful that apart from shopping at the bastide towns of Monsegur and Sauveterre we never felt the need to leave the property except to go to La Reole for Sunday lunch. Though my daughter-in-law went up the lane and enjoyed an hour's horse riding. We had the property recommended to us by friends who stayed last year and we would not hesitate to recommend it ourselves, in fact have already sent details to a family member. The fact that one bedroom is downstairs and everything is on one level made life very easy for my blind husband and he adapted to the new place very quickly.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We live in London and have two young children.

Why they chose this property

When we looked at buying in France we were keen to buy somewhere that was within a day's drive of the Channel ports and well-served by airports (including a schedule airline - BA). The area sells itself - it is green but with very warm temperatures in summer, but without the baking heat and Mistral of the south. Being in or close to a wine region was important to us (having St Emilion and Sauternes within 30-40 minutes in addition to the local wines is a real bonus). What sold the property was the combination of being away from a road, a beautiful stone-built building with almost too much space and a rural location where the children can play and explore as they get older.

What makes this property unique

The property is at the end of a lane and aside from the (solitary) neighbours there is no traffic. There is about 7 acres of land to explore - being mainly meadow and woodland. There are apple, cherry, plum, walnut and fig trees which provide a decent crop throughout the summer and autumn.
