Reviews
Monique from Voorschoten,
Met onze tweeling van 8 jaar bij Jo en Adie verbleven. Zeer gastvrij en vriendelijk ontvangen.
Het thuisgevoel op een zeer mooie locatie.
Lekker kunnen vissen in het meer in de tuin van de Gites. Evenals dat de kinderen hier lekker konden rennen, voetballen, vliegen met onze drone, zwemmen en dat alles in volle privacy.
Jo en Adie zijn heel leuk met de kinderen, open en makkelijk benaderbaar, maar respecteren je privacy.
Heerlijke week gehad!Edwin en Angela from IJsselstein,
Wij hebben als gezin met 3 tieners een fantastische vakantie beleefd bij Jo en Andy in de gite. Enorm genoten van hun gastvrijheid (ze zijn zeker niet opdringerig). Ze doen alles om jou een fijne tijd te laten beleven. Onze kinderen hadden het super in de gym (workout met Ady ) en in de speelruimte (tafeltennis, poolen en de gezellige bar). Het zwembad is heerlijk en met de golfbaan in de achtertuin heb je een zee aan ruimte om je heen Het is echt een paradijsje!! De gite zelf is heerlijk ruim en schoon. Kortom zeker een aanrader volgens ons.
Comment from Jo O’Donnell
Many thanks Angela and Edwin for your kind words. We loved having your beautiful family here and would love to welcome you back.

Both Monsegur and La Reole have a number of good restaurants and bars boasting French cuisine as well as tapas and pizza, and in the summer, a number of local towns hold night markets which offer a wide range of food, music and entertainment. Being in the center of the Bordeaux wine region, there are a number of local vineyards which offer tours and wine tasting which can be reached by foot, bicycle or car. For those who wish to experience fine dining, there are a number of Michelin star restaurants in the vicinity, and the owners are happy to offer a meal cooked for you on the balcony overlooking the beautiful countryside (price and menu agreed in advance).
