Holiday home for 15 people in Saint-André-et-Appelles

The house is a bit difficult to find, because it is located in an inconspicuous side street. Once you have found it, you are first impressed by the location on a hill, from where you have an unobstructed view of other hills. The orientation of the house lets beautiful sunsets experience. The house has a well furnished terrace with adjoining pool which even has a countercurrent system. The reception was considered bad, as it did not take place. The owner lives in the Netherlands and therefore there is only one safe with the house key. In the fridge but a bottle of wine and mineral water were ready. The equipment is good. Only a good frying pan, which can be used on the induction stove, was missing us. A new value, which should be suitable for induction, did not work. There was then only a rather shabby old pan. There is satellite television, with which all German programs can be received. Unfortunately, there is no channel list. Many CD's with music for every taste and a DVD player with movies are also available. The house is obviously in Dutch hand, so there are no German films. The distances to important places like Perigueux, Sarlat or Bergerac are relatively low. For good food you have to drive something. A good recommendation is the restaurant Moulin De Surier near Beaumont.

We arrived in time. The cleaning crew just left and we were able to use the house. Which was nice because we had three small children with us. It is a beautiful accommodation, very complete. The kitchen was equipped with all kinds of kitchen equipment. There was plenty of crockery and cutlery. There were (children's) books, games, CDs.Also in bad weather, plenty of fun.We liked that there was a wall around the pool and that the entrance was closed with a high fence.Like our little children could not just walk into the pool.The airport is just steps away.Ideal if you come by plane. (By the way, no nuisance of the aircraft.) You do need your own transport because the closest supermarket is 4.5 km away. The village itself is nothing. Bergerac is a nice place for shopping, a terrace to grab and eat out.

If you are looking for rest, we can certainly recommend the cottage. It's quiet, and you only see rabbits, squirrels, and many kinds of birds. The owner's dog (a dalmatier) will greet you and can guide you through the forest. Shopping and restaurant are within 3 km. With any organization this is not insurmountable.We had a maximum of 2 people. The reception was warm and during the stay you can appeal to the owner. From him, you can also get an explanation of wine producers. A fly frame (front window) would allow you to sleep with an open window. Also, more wine glasses would not be an unnecessary luxury. The toilet grower regularly makes a disturbing noise, even during the night. For those who can live without the luxury, it is a must. You have what you need. The price quality is ok.
