River Days in Bordeaux, Aquitaine

River Days Self-Catering

Journey through the vineyards of Bordeaux before finding yourself at this stone villa on the bank of the Dordogne. The highlight of this stay for us is not only the view of the romantic river, but the direct access to it via a private dock or one of the included kayaks. If you do happen to tire of a lazy day by the river (or pool if you’d rather), explore the private gardens, scenic as a Monet painting, and pick at seasonal treats for your family or friends to snack on. Speaking of food, you can take the bikes out to the nearby boulangerie for croissants and tarts. We should also mention that the local farm’s goats cheese selection is sensational, especially when paired with wines from the neighbouring vineyards.

Home truths:
* The ceilings on the upper floor are a bit lower than normal
* The old walls mean that the wi-fi is a bit patchy in places
* There is a pull-out and day bed in the den for extra guests
