Les Caulins Holiday Let & Cookery School

Vacation in France

3 superior bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 10×5 metre pool. Detached, surrounded by gardens and open countryside, historical towns and Chateaux nearby, vineyards and great markets.

The house has been sympathetically restored keeping all the features you would expect from a 300 year old stone house. Stone sinks, oak beams, large fireplaces, hidden terraces and sunny vistas.

The accommodation comprises 3 generous bedrooms, one on the ground floor, which have been lovingly decorated and are a mix of old French charm and boutique hotel. All rooms have super king-size beds with Egyptian cotton linen, vintage and antique French furniture and flat screen TVs. The spacious en-suites are tiled in stone with roomy walk in powerful showers and modern “boutique touches”.Easy to clean

Outside, you will find a 10m x 5m swimming pool complete with day beds, sun loungers and the far-reaching views of the rolling hills and vineyards of the Côte de Duras. There are plenty of shady spots and sunny vistas just perfect for lazy BBQs with a glass of local wine.

If you can drag yourself away from the pool and the far-reaching views, there is plenty to do close by. The villages of Saint Sernin and Villeneuve de Duras, 3km offer a bar/tabac and a boulangerie. The bustling Bastide town of Duras is 6km away, with a great little weekly market and night market in the Summer. Here you will find all the amenities, supermarkets, pharmacies, bars and restaurants, and a Chateau. There is also a chocolate factory where you can taste and buy beautiful chocolate and local confectionery. We are surrounded by the local winemakers, all of which offer tastings and sell their wines by the case and many by the bottle and by the litre. 12 km to the North is the Dordogne river and the town of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande with one of France’s best markets. The lovely town of Bergerac and the imposing Chateau at Monbazillac 35km. The UNESCO World Heritage site of St Emilion is 45km away, and the beautiful Bordeaux is 65km.
