Virsac: Villen

TagWonderful house with a beautiful garden. The host Carine and Francis are very friendly and took care of us. The house has a very well equipped kitchen and a small but good bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. Everything functioned well and small problems we could solve easily with the hosts. Although the house is located at main street it is rather quiet. The location is great to explore both the city of Bordeaux as well as the wine region. We will definitely come back here next time in Bordeaux!

The garden is a true highlight. It is big and very beautiful. Unfortunately the lights didn't work during our stay and in three weeks nobody managed to fix it.It was very hot and to have this parking spots in the shadow is worth a lot. The house is spacious and nice - on one side. The master bedroom and bathroom are gorgeous. the living room and office are also nice. The kitchen shows some signs of wear. there are lost of plates, but almost no mugs or bowls. And never two of the same kind. It looks like someone wanted to get rid of old porcelaine.But still okay as a kitchen. The other bedrooms are a bit special in the choice of furniture and wall-colour. You better like screaming green. On the positive side: - big nice garden - nice pool - agency very responsive, friendly and fast - near Bordeaux and good spot to visit the wine regions: Easy to get around. - near shops and restaurants in St. Loubes (car needed) - master bedroom and its bathroom (perfect shower) on the less nicer side: - there is a huge electricity pole almost inside the garden. Just behind the house. It has been photoshopped on the pictures! - even though close to the vineyards and Bordeaux, it lays in an industrial zone. Once inside you forget about it, but driving towards it is not nice. - the smell. It is close to the river and old. The smell is a bit stale. Also one of the bedrooms could not be used due to the very strong smell in the bathroom. Luckily we did not need it.
