Vacation Rental Description
The villa stands in 1 acre of a secluded garden with beautiful views of the French countryside, its own private swimming pool and small orchard. Set in the gentle countryside of the Lot et Garonne, it is 35 minutes from the historic town of Bergerac and one and a quarter hours from the bustling city of Bordeaux. A brief stroll will take you to Duras, where you will find all the necessary shopping and leasure facilities for your stay.  
The villa is a well equiped spacious modern property on one level and is suitable for young families and older family members.There is a large entrance hall furnished with antiques, and this leads into an open plan L-shaped lounge diner which has three sets of French windows opening onto the terrace. This makes it ideal for outdoor dining and the perfect area to enjoy the relaxing beautiful views. There are four good sized bedrooms, two bathrooms(one of which is en suite) and a seperate WC. 
The pool is salt water and is enclosed with an unobtrusive security fence to accord with french legal requirements and is therefore safe for children. There is an assortment of fruit including apples, plums, apricots, cherries and peaches growing in the grounds of the property and guests are encouraged to help themselves. 
We have a local French custodian for the property who will be available to respond to any emergencies and advise on any problems you may have in the area. There is a tourist office in the village and they can provide a varied selection of any information on most interests.  
Outside, there is a charcoal barbecue, plentiful garden furniture including two tables, chairs and sun beds to make your stay as relaxing as possible.
