Cher Nicole

Tout était là, endroit magnifique et calme, belle piscine! Nous l'avons trouvé le tour à pigeons moins adapté aux petits enfants, mais notre fils de 24 ans était satisfait! Prévoir éventuellement des moustiquaires à certaines fenêtres! Vous pourrez faire de belles balades, Monségur et Duras sont deux jolis villages. Nous recommanderons certainement le séjour

Excellent séjour dans un cadre idyllique

Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans la maison de Nicole. La maison avait tout ce dont on avait besoin. Nicole est d’excellent conseil et laisse des notes informatives. Le cadre était idyllique et Nicole est très discrète, mais si vous avez besoin d’elle pour quelque chose, il suffit de le lui demander. Une hôtesse d’exception ! Nous espérons pouvoir revenir!

Entspannung in den Weinbergen

Herrliche Auszeit in den Weinbergen der Region Entre-deux-mers. Man kann hier bestens am sehr schönen Pool entspannen und Ausflüge in die Umgebung machen. Unser Tipp: Radtour in Bordeaux, Saint Emilion und einen Besuch beim sehr netten Winzer nebenan. Super interessante Führung und tolle Weine. Unsere sehr nette Vermieterin Nicole war absolut hilfsbereit und gab gute Tipps.

Definite recommendation of La Puy

Staying a week at Nicole‘s gîte was just perfect. It is absolutely calm up there and I‘ve never seen a swimming pool that is so well taken care of- absolutely clean! The gîte is huge, the kitchen also well-equipped and the surrounding villages are really worth a visit (especially the night markets). Moreover, Nicole is a perfect host and we thank her for this really great experience!

Hyvin varusteltu huoneisto kaikilla mukavuuksilla. Huoneisto oli hyvin siisti ja tilava. Uima-allas oli hyvän kokoinen. Huoneiston jäähdytys toimi maalämmöllä, eikä ollut perinteinen ilmalla toimiva. Huoneiston omistaja oli hyvin avulias ja mukava. Suosittelen paikkaa rauhallisuudesta nauttiville.

Une semaine ressourçante

Nous avons passé une semaine vraiment très reposante loin du bruit dans la grande et belle location de Mme Jones, en pleine nature au milieu des vignes. Notre fille de 10 ans a particulièrement apprécié la superbe piscine privée ! Mme Jones est une hôte très discrète et agréable et la location était d'une grande propreté et d'un grand confort.

Geslaagde vakantie 2021

17/07 – 31/07/2021 Eerst en vooral bedanken we Nicole voor de goede ontvangst. Wij hebben van in het begin genoten van de mooie en goed voorziene gîte, het zwembad met patio en de rust en de stilte. Dit was alleszins de plaats om de batterijen terug op te laden. Een bezoek aan het nabijgelegen wijnkasteel is een aanrader. Van de wandeling in Monségur hebben we op ook kunnen genieten. Kortom bedankt voor de geslaagde vakantie. Nadine en Philip

Séjour très agréable, au calme

Nous avons apprécié ce havre de tranquillité et cette parenthèse hors du temps où la COVID n'est qu'un mauvais souvenir. La maison est confortable et très bien équipée, dans un cadre magnifique. Le pigeonnier est un vrai plus. Un seul regret : il faudrait préciser dans la présentation que la piscine est indisponible hors saison estivale.

Relaxing rural stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at The Pigeon Tower. The gite is very restful and Nicole the owner did all she could to make our stay with a baby as convenient as possible, bringing out all the baby facilities for us to use. The swimming pool can be used between 10am and 6pm and is just wonderful. Our 5 year old son particularly enjoyed it. The area is quite rural so very relaxing. The closest bastide Monsegur is really lovely and the night market on Wednesday was quite enjoyable. Another great point is that the gite backs onto a wine farm, Chateau de la tuileries. The wine is so good and reasonable and the wine tasting was a very authentic experience. Thank you for a great stay x

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille dans cette magnifique propriété. Le tout au calme ! La piscine toujours à bonne température et extrêmement bien entretenue.

Geweldig verblijf

Wij zijn erg tevreden over de goed geoutilleerde accommodatie. Deze was voor ons 3-en ruim genoeg en voorzien van alle gemakken. Het (privé) zwembad was helemaal geweldig, lekker groot. Ook was er een overkapping met ligstoelen zodat je in de schaduw kon zitten. Al met al voor ons was het een heerlijk, relaxte vakantie met vooral veel privacy.

Relais du silence

Deze gite is ideaal als je rust en ontspanning zoekt. De woning was ruim en netjes, de ontvangst hartelijk. Het zwembad zalig. Gelegen op een heuvel, in een doodlopende straat, rust is dus verzekerd! Als je een wijnliefhebber bent, is een bezoekje aan het chateau zeker een aanrader. Voor de kinderen was het avonturenpark met klimparcours in de buurt van Duras ook een hoogtepunt. Een bezoekje aan Bordeaux mag ook niet ontbreken. Het oude stadsgedeelte heeft veel leuke winkelstraatjes en pleintjes.

Pigeonnier du Puy in June 2019

My friend and I very much enjoyed our stay at Pigeonnier du Puy. The well converted pigeon loft and barn sit in a peaceful rural setting with lovely views. The reception room is spacious and airy with comfortable seating and a large dining table. Most mornings we were able to eat breakfast outside on the terrace. There is WiFi and the TV can receive English channels. The kitchen is quite small but pretty well equipped. The main bedroom and it’s en suite bathroom are large and comfortable. The pool is clear blue with plenty of loungers and pool accessories. As the 2 of us are quite elderly women who speak only basic French we were a bit daunted by the pool cover which is like a roof, has to be pulled across and fixed at the back in bad weather. But we managed it OK and the walk down the hill with the rubbish bin. We thought the second bedroom, in the pigeon loft, would make a very pretty single bedroom but was very cramped with 2 adult beds in it and, therefore very difficult to get at the small clothes cupboard. 2 children might be happy. The loo and shower are fine. On arrival we were met and shown round by a young woman who has no English at all and couldn’t really explain the equipment so we were very pleased to find appliance notes and general instructions in English. Nicole, the owner manager was not on site but she speaks fluent english and was quick and helpful over the phone. All in all we were very happy at the Pigeonnier du Puy. We swam a lot, met old friends in the area that we know well, and drank excellent wine from the nearby Château.
