The Experience

It is rare indeed to visit an empty house in midwinter and experience an instant warmth that brings the place to life. Your French/German hosts – Valérie and Frank – come from the world of performing arts (she a dance choreographer, he a set designer) and have now turned their attention to viticulture and making your stay special; they have the gift of hospitality tenfold, leave you cherries and walnuts (in season!) and love to share their passion for producing organic wine. Your space? A beautifully renovated, 400-year-old ochre-washed ‘pigeonnier’ with a sun-drenched terrace on an idyllic old farm among vines, a five-minute walk from the village. Step through a glazed door to a stylish yet cosy vaulted and beamed living room with a cool stone floor, minimal high-quality furniture and old walls. The kitchen is simple, the bedroom is fresh and light, and there are single beds on the mezzanine. There’s a pool to dunk in (yours from 10am to 6pm), Saint Émilion is close, the beaches of Arcachon and the boulevards of Bordeaux are an easy drive, and in summer Castillon gives a re-enactment of the last battle of the Hundred Years War.

Reviews

Catherine, Huddersfield

Our fortnight at Le Pigeonnier was glorious. We loved the place, the pool and above all, the people. With their warmth and unobtrusive hospitality, Valerie and Frank simply couldn't have made us feel more welcome. St Emilion and Bergerac are within easy striking distance and beautiful Bordeaux just a short train ride away. (Park free of charge at the station in Castillon!) It's also a great place to recharge your batteries. We had a couple of really relaxing stay-put days where we sploshed in the pool, watched the sun set spectacularly and sat under the stars by night. Just perfect!


Anton, Perthshire

We absolutely loved our time here. The house and setting were just perfect for our young family. The kids loved the pool and playing among the vines. Valérie and Frank were the most amazing hosts who made us feel most welcome. Will definitely be doing a return trip in the future.

Le Pigeonnier is beautiful accommodation in a truly stunning location. A warm welcome awaits, and Valerie and Frank are the perfect hosts. The gite has everything you need for a very comfortable stay, with the pool providing the final notes of luxury. There is so much lovely wine to taste in the area, including the very fine organic wine produced by Valerie and Frank.

Robert, Merelbeke

A spacious comfortable house with a private terrace adjacent to and with a view of the vineyard - 100% privacy - beautiful swimming pool - very nice quiet area - the owners Frank and Valerie, who live next door, are very nice friendly people and you feel because of them really at home. This lodging is a real winner .. highly recommended for those who love peace, beauty and nature!
