Our charming farmhouse is in the heart of the vineyard at Château Bauduc. Superbly situated for touring the Bordeaux region, and just 30 minutes from Saint-Emilion and the fabulous city of Bordeaux, this 18th century stone house sleeps eight people comfortably.
There is a lovely south facing garden, a delightful outdoor eating area under a vine-covered trellis, and guests have the exclusive use of their own heated swimming pool which was completely revamped in 2022. We've decorated and fully equipped the house to make this a really comfortable base for a family holiday or for small groups who wish to relax and enjoy life - and the local food shops are second to none.
The house, which can be rented by the week from April to October, overlooks the vineyards and backs onto the farm buildings and cellars where the wine is made and aged. We are 45 minutes from Bordeaux airport (avoiding rush hour) and on Fridays - our changeover day - there are flights from April onwards with EasyJet from Gatwick, Luton, Bristol and Manchester. BA also flies from Gatwick, and Ryanair from Stansted and, less frequently, from Birmingham. And of course there's the high speed train - Bordeaux is just two hours from Paris.
We are usually on site to point you in the right direction - do take a look at 'things to do', 'the local area', 'local restaurants', 'guest comments' and the photos in 'farmhouse gallery' - and please sign up for our monthly newsletter below.
