Location saisonnière avec piscine, Maison Baleyssagues.

The K. family (09-16/09/2023)
Ma femme et moi, ainsi que notre petite-fille aînée, avons passé une semaine vraiment mémorable à la Maison Baleyssagues. Pour une découverte de la région des bastides préservées du haut Lot-et Garonne, de l'est de la Gironde et de la Dordogne, la Villa Alouette constitue un superbe point de départ. Il offre une belle vue panoramique sur la campagne dans toutes les directions, notamment l'extraordinaire Château de Duras, lui-même un exemple incontournable de l'engagement national, régional et local en faveur de la conservation du patrimoine culturel. Des noms célèbres comme Saint-Émilion, Bergerac, Sarlat-la-Canéda et Bordeaux elle-même figurent également dans une liste d'incontournables offrant une variété d'attractions pour tous les goûts - et toutes non loin.
(En parlant de goût, ne manquez pas le Pain de maïs à la boulangerie de Duras. Il est à tomber par terre, facile à découper en tranches grillées et conserve son moelleux pendant une semaine.) (Frédéric s'en portera garant.)
Nous ne pouvons pas faire l'éloge de la maison sans inclure son gestionnaire, Frédéric Guiraud, très accueillant et serviable, et toujours disponible sur demande, dans de brefs délais. Son pack de bienvenue est le plus attentionné et le plus généreux que nous ayons jamais rencontré au cours de nombreuses années de location de villas en France. Il a réussi à compiler un guide relié contenant d'excellentes introductions et des informations pratiques pour les visiteurs sur une multitude de villes et de sites remarquables de la région. Il reflète évidemment un travail considérable et doit être le guide de visiteur le plus complet que nous ayons connu.
Quant à la villa elle-même, elle rend justice à toutes les photos que vous aurez vues dans l'annonce. Nous l'avons trouvé impeccablement propre et en excellent état. Nous avons vraiment apprécié manger dehors sur les terrasses, nous prélasser et jouer dans et au bord de la piscine et nous régaler de la vue, surtout le soir après une longue journée de visites. Le piano magnifiquement accordé doit également être mentionné pour ceux qui aiment jouer sur un instrument raffiné ou simplement tinter doucement pour se divertir tranquillement.

From May 14th to May 28th Tim and Clare, London, UK
Merci Nick et Tessa pour ces deux semaines les plus fantastiques dans votre magnifique maison. Frédéric était formidable. Nous nous sommes bien reposés pour la première fois depuis longtemps. Vous avez mangé des plats délicieux, bu trop de vin et nagé toute la journée dans votre piscine. Nous espérons revenir un jour.

From June 4th to June 18th The C. Familly, UK
Nous avons passé deux semaines extraordinaires dans cette magnifique propriété.
À notre arrivée, nous avons été submergés par la beauté de la maison. Elle a été conçue avec amour selon des normes haut de gamme et possède certainement le facteur « wow » à l'arrivée.
Frédéric et le personnel étaient très serviables et ont rendu notre séjour très spécial.
Merci de partager ce bel endroit avec nous.

From June 18th to June 25th The Russel B. familly , UK
La région la plus agréable de France.
Le séjour le plus agréable en villa de « luxe ».
Points forts:
-légumes frais du marché de Duras lundi.
Pour manger à Eymet, presque tous les restaurants feront l'affaire, mais les favoris sont la Cour d'Eymet et le Château les Vigiers.
-regarder les milans royaux chasser dans les champs le soir. Les lézards et le geko sur le patio.
Dans l’ensemble, c’est une expérience mémorable.

From June 25th to July 9th Mrs F., London UK
La Maison Baleyssagues est charmante. C'est aussi beau que sur les photos, les lits sont super confortables, la cuisine très bien équipée et l'espace piscine et les terrasses extérieures sont charmants, dont une terrasse avec vue et des couchers de soleil magnifiques. Le gestionnaire est extrêmement serviable et a fait de son mieux pour nous aider à résoudre certains problèmes que nous avons rencontrés. Merci! Nous reviendrons.

From August 27th to September 3rd Peter and Claire, Hertfordshire, UK
C'était notre sixième visite à la Maison Baleyssagues - c'est vraiment un endroit parfait où séjourner ! La villa était aussi confortable et élégante que les précédentes vacances, avec de nombreuses nouvelles touches élégantes que nous avons appréciées. Il y a tout ce dont une famille peut avoir besoin, des jeux et des livres à une magnifique nouvelle cuisine en passant par un terrain fantastique pour se promener et où jouer. La piscine en particulier a été bien utilisée car il faisait très chaud lors de notre visite. C'est un bel endroit pour nager et se détendre. La campagne environnante est magnifique et offre de nombreux endroits amusants et intéressants à visiter avec d'excellents restaurants à proximité. Nos préférés sont La Terrasse à Duras et le Restaurant Italien Des Arcades à Eymet. Le marché nocturne de Duras vaut également le détour pour déguster des vins et des plats locaux. C'était notre sixième visite à la villa mais ce ne sera pas la dernière !

From September 3rd to September 10th The A. Familly Edingbrugh, UK
This is a lovely villa. Probably one of the best appointed in which we have ever stayed.
The pool and outdoor areas are just delightful. Our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter enjoyed picking up wonderful plums and playing with the games and toys in the little library.
Adults enjoyed the beautiful view end is sunsets.
How peaceful our surroundings where especially when we are used to the traffic noise of city! Special thanks to Frederick who helped us where we had a little medical emergency.

From September 17th to September 24th Tim and Joana UK
As regular visitors we choose this area for over 30 years. This is without doubt the loveliest property we we ever had. The location and settings are glorious. We loved to sat in every places of the garden and at different times of the day. Loved the relaxing and beautiful pool area enjoyed the tasteful but functional rooms and cooked every night in this well appointed kitchen. All the small touches and details show great level of consideration from the owners. Thank you so much Frederick has been welcoming and helpful it was lovely to come back and we hope to return at least once next year.

Colling family (June 22)
We recently stayed for two weeks at this beautiful house and were overwhelmed by its beauty and setting. The house is spacious and extremely well furnished with everything you could possibly need for a fantastic relaxing break. A lot of care and thought has gone into the decor and furnishings giving a real homely feel. Fresh flowers in the rooms added to the warmth of our welcome by Frederic, the house manager and Elisabeth and Marian had ensured that everything was immaculate.
The town of Duras is close by and we enjoyed the Monday morning markets as well as trips to Bordeaux (by train from Marmande), St Emilion and the wonderful Chateau de Fayolle where we had an amazing lunch, vineyard tour and wine tasting. This is a beautiful part of France where we have made many happy memories and hope to return one day.
Our thanks to the team at Maison Baleyssagues for making our visit so special.
Worthy of mention is local driver Mark Pope who provided transport for us during our trip. He needs to be pre- booked but will get you where you need to go if you don't want to drive!

MArtin Y. (07/2020)
A fantastic week at the villa. We were lucky enough to get a last minute booking when travel restrictions were listed. We were slightly anxious about travelling in these times but always felt safe and welcomed be the locals.
We're so pleased we did come!
The villa is very well equipped and Frederic was so informative and helpful.
The massive selling point for us was the gorgeous pool and gardens as well as the stunning setting and amazing views from every angle! We spent many nights eating cheese and drinking wine while watching the sun set and then gazing at the star-rider sky.
This is definitely one of the most beautiful parts of France we've been too.
We enjoyed the local morning's and night's markets in Duras, kayaking down the Dropt river and would recommend visiting local town/villages like Eymet, Villeréal and others mentioned in the guide.
St Emilion is also a family favorite and is a must-visit! We now have a car full of wine!
Thanks for an amazing week! We hope to be back soon.

Une semaine merveilleuse à la Maison Baleyssagues. La maison est extrêmement bien aménagée et équipée.
Nous avons apprécié cuisiner et avons essayé tous les espaces repas à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur.
Certains membres de notre groupe ont même nagé dans la piscine, même si la saison était terminée.
Nous avons également apprécié les promenades dans la campagne environnante et trois superbes excursions d'une journée. Nous recommandons vivement La Table de Catusseau - imaginative et exquise.
Merci à Frédéric pour de son excellent service.
