Perfect family holiday

We had two lovely week holiday at The Chai and cannot fault anything. Anne and her husband are the perfect hosts-friendly, welcoming and happy to provide ideas and advice for places to visit. They were always available but never intrusive. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was spotlessly clean. We loved the pool (it was an ideal temperature) and the plentiful children's games were a bonus. The garden was perfect for the children to play in too, enclosed and lots of space for them to run around. Have to mention the views and the beautiful sunsets as well! Highly recommend a stay here.

Beautiful location and the perfect property

Our family of 4 children from 7 to 15 and 2 adults had a wonderful stay. Anne and Martin were wonderful hosts, offering recommendations and being available to help if needed. The property is so spacious and the garden is AMAZING!! The pool obviously being a massive hit with the kids. We had all we needed for a relaxing holiday in a beautiful part of France.

Excellent property in good location

We stayed for two weeks in this lovely property. The pool and games room were both big hits with our children - especially the pink flamingo in the pool! We had a warm welcome and, while it felt very private, the owners were close at hand if we ever needed anything. We did lots of exploring during our stay and found some great places to visit. For longer days trips we really enjoyed Bordeaux, La Rochelle and Dune de Pilat. More locally, Pons and Jonzac were both lovely. There was plenty of room in the property and it was well equipped with everything we needed. The beautiful sun sets over the surrounding vineyards were a treat every evening. We would definitely return to this house.

Amazing property in stunning surroundings

This beautiful house is very, very spacious with great facilities. Set on a large plot just on the outskirts of Léoville, it is simply stunning. The pool is great and suited our 3 kids brilliantly and there were plenty of inflatables and toys in the games room. We were 2 families and the open plan living space and patio suited us well. The holiday as a whole really did exceed our expectations. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking, particularly large parties.

Excellent accommodation in a beautiful rural setting

We have just returned from our first holiday in France at The Chai and were totally taken back by this lovely part of France. Anne and Martin were lovely hosts from the moment we met them and throughout our two week stay were always happy to help and guide us to the best attractions and places to visit. The accommodation was superb, clean and very spacious and catered for our two families each with a teenager. The pool was ideal along with the barn with its table tennis and many recreational items as well as the large and spacious area outside which was ideal for alfresco dining, we had many a happy evening spent having a BBQ and watching the beautiful sunsets. We would highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to visit again.

Great property, met all our expectations,

Ann & Martin were great hosts. This was our first sortie to the Bordeaux region of France. We stayed at the Chai at La Chappelle having driven all the way from Kent. Ann and Martin greeted us in a typical French relaxed manor and we were grateful for the welcome pack, it enabled us to have a cup of tea and a dip in the pool after the long drive. The flamingo in the pool caused much merriment for us and our family at home (once photos were supplied to them). The accommodation in a quiet rural area with spectacular views was clean, spacious and well kitted out for all our needs Martin and Ann with their local knowledge were happy to spend time helping us plan our excursions. The local village hosts a butcher, baker and in the summer a pop up restaurant which we really enjoyed all within a healthy 25 min walking distance. We would recommend the property to anyone who seeks a quiet relaxed, secure, rural location with drivable access to many places of interest.

Groot huis met prachtige tuin

Groot huis aan de rand van Léoville met 4 ruime slaapkamers en 2 badkamers (waarvan 1 ensuite). Prachtig grote tuin waar je op elk moment van de dag in de zon of schaduw kunt zitten. Vanuit de tuin keek je over mooie velden met bloemen. Het zwembad was mooi en had precies de goede maat voor onze 3 kinderen van 3, 5 en 6 jaar. In de schuur stond heel veel speelgoed en vooral de voetbaltafel was een groot succes. Er is ook genoeg te doen in de omgeving. We hebben verschillende plaatsjes bezocht die de moeite waard zijn zoals Jonzac en Aubeterre-sur-Dronne. Het strand ligt op een uurtje rijden. Anne is ten slotte een hele fijne gastvrouw. Ze staat altijd klaar om je vragen te beantwoorden en heeft veel tips over bezienswaardigheden in de buurt. Heel erg bedankt voor 2 leuke weken!

Belle propriété

Belle propriété, très spacieuse, grand terrain très agréable. Belle piscine. Pas assez équipée en vaisselle et plat pour famille nombreuse... Nous y avons séjourné pour 1 week-end prolongé avec 1 météo médiocre et la maison n'étant pas équipée de chauffage, nous avons eu très froid . Il y avait bien 1 poêle à bois mais pas de bois à disposition, obligé de demander du bois aux propriétaires régulièrement mais donné au compte-gouttes !!! Piscine très froide, pas chauffée comme annoncée.

Séjour en famille

La propriété est parfaite pour une famille de 8 personnes. Nous étions 7 adultes , un enfant de 5 ans et un bébé de 8 mois. Tout est fonctionnel. Il y a des jouets pour tous les âges, un espace exceptionnel dans toutes les pièces avec un hangar abrité pour se protéger de la pluie qui était malheureusement omniprésente pendant notre séjour (mai 2021). Néanmoins la piscine est grande et chauffée. Le jardin immense qui a permis à tous de profiter de l'environnement très bucolique. Par contre le poêle à bois dans le salon/salle à manger était non utilisable et la maison n'est pas chauffée à l'exception de la salle de bain. L'accueil très chaleureux d'Anne fait oublié ce petit soucis et nous y retournerons volontiers à l'occasion.
