Description
The eldest part of the buildings dates back to the early 18th century. The charming and authentic gîte ‘La Bergerie’ is the smaller of two beautifully and tastefully restored cottages. The gîte has a lot of character and is peacefully situated in the rolling countryside in the middle of vineyards and plum orchards. Truly the Tuscany of France, as this region is called!
The property 'La Blanchère’ is a traditional stone-built former wine farm, containing two nicely and tastefully renovated cottages on 6 acres of land. The oldest part dates back to the early 18th century. Both gîtes, called ‘La Bergerie’ and ‘La Poterie’ have a lot of character and are peacefully situated in the countryside in the middle of vineyards and plum orchards in the wine region of Duras. From the grounds you have a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding hills and valley and of the old town and castle of Duras. You can relax around the swimming pool with roman steps and lovely terrace. In other words a very picturesque and relaxed setting for your holidays.
In the vicinity you can stroll through the hills or ride a bike (bikes for rent in Duras) and there are several beautiful golf links such as Les Vigiers (18 holes) and Tombeboeuf (9 holes) at easy driving distance. Children can enjoy pony riding (at a distance of 1 mile). For those who love the seaside the Atlantic Ocean south of Bordeaux with Europe’s highest sand dune could be considered. The town of Bordeaux is also very interesting for those who love architecture, culture and shopping. In summer there are historical and musical events (jazz, pop and classical music and dance) as well as wine festivals in and around Duras. Also during the summer season special ‘marchés nocturnes’ or evening markets are organized in various towns and villages around Duras. In and around Duras you can find good restaurants and cosy bars, having live music at regular times.
