Reviews
Wendy from Southampton (UK),
Our family got together at Domaine de la Banne to celebrate a special birthday, taking both floors. From the point of booking, Neil and David went out of their way to make our stay special and memorable, which it was. They are welcoming and attentive hosts, but always discreet. The gîte is well-situated and is set in beautiful countryside. It provides a peaceful, quiet retreat. We were were amazed by the night skies when conditions were clear. The gîte is comfortable and well-equipped and Neil and David's attention to detail is exceptional. We loved the pool, garden, and useful outdoor kitchen.

We had an idyllic ten day stay at La Banne. Neil and David, warm, friendly, but never intrusive, have created something very special on this quiet hillside near to Belves. An old tobacco barn hiding a modern, very well equipped gite on the upper floor, and a more traditional, but still lovely room on the ground floor which was perfect for our extended family group of 6. A beautiful pool, and summer kitchen are a few paces away. A great spot to see local wildlife and the cows coming and going in the distance. You are peaceful, but not isolated. Plenty to see and do in the area - 10/10!

We stayed at Domaine de la Banne for the first 2 weeks in August this year. What an amazing find - just perfect! From the wonderful hosts, luxurious accommodation, beautiful grounds with a fabulous outdoor kitchen and pool. Hosts, Neil & David have thought of everything. Perfect place to unwind! The best holiday property that we have stayed in and we will be back.
