Set in the small commune of Sainte-Colombe-de-Duras with a charming Roman church just across the road who’s chimes gently awoke us in the morning - This characterful countryside property has everything you need! By far it’s best feature (for us) was the fantastically sized swimming pool which we spent most of our relaxing time around. Beautiful views across the fields as you take a refreshing dip and let your cares melt away!
The location is ideal for 5 mins drive to Duras which has a Chateau, markets, artizanales and bars/restaurants.
For the oenophiles I would certainly recommend a visit to Saint-Émilion which was an easy 30-40 mins drive - amazing place - just get there very early to avoid the search for parking!
Thanks Julie and Chris - We had a smashing week in the sunshine!
We stayed for a week and had an incredible time.
The area is very quiet and quaint, perfect for walks around the surrounding areas or just relaxing by the pool. On-site barbecue was great as we used the every evening. Rooms were cool, clean and had everything we needed. The kids enjoyed themselves immensely and I couldn’t thank Julie enough for being so accommodating, especially with the addition of the inflatables!
House is a short drive away from the village if Duras which has plenty of day and night markets. Julie was a font of knowledge on when and what to do! Lovely host and I would thoroughly recommend her!
We had a fantastic holiday in the beautiful house with the large swimming pool. The house was very clean and fully equipped. The children had a great time with the tennis table and in the swimming pool.
It is a beautiful and peaceful area!
Thank you very much!
Par les fortes chaleurs, la piscine était très agréable, c'est le point fort de l'hébergement. Il manque clairement une climatisation pour les 3 chambres qui se situent sous les toits, le wifi ne fonctionne pas il s'agit seulement d'un repeteur wifi qui n'apporte rien de plus. Il est quasi impossible d'avoir de l'eau froide dans la douche. On note la présence de nombreuses mouches dans la partie séjour certainement dû à la chaleur.
Lovely clean property exactly as described in an area we know well. Julie was a great host and made us very welcome. We had a great 2 weeks here and plan on returning.
Superbe maison. Il y a tout ce qu il faut pour passer de bons moments. Les propriétaires sont très sympathique. C était vraiment très bien. Le seul problème c'est qu'il y a beaucoup de guêpes et de moustiques mais cela n ai pas de la faute des propriétaires. La piscine serait chauffée se ne serais que du bonheur. Mais un parfait séjour. N hésitez pas à y aller !
Het huis is zeer goed uitgerust, ook benodigdheden zoals zeep, vaatwastabletten, handdoeken en dergelijke zijn meer dan genoeg aanwezig.
De eigenaars wonen ernaast, maar respecteren ten volle de privacy van de gasten.
Heel aangenaam zwembad (overal 1.40m diep).
très belle propriété, spacieuse, bien équipée
idéale pour un séjour entre amis ou famille pour se reposer, s'amuser.
les propriétaires sont accessibles tout en restant très discrets pendant le séjour.
Nous avons profité de la piscine ainsi que des jeux dans la grange
Merci pour l'accueil chaleureux et discret que nous avons apprécié et également de cette délicate attention lors de notre arrivée
Merci et bonne continuation Julie
Jolie maison ancienne typique aux aspects rustiques.
Quelques points d'améliorations possibles : patères en salle d'eau, simple rideau évitant d'asperger autour des douches, bizarres bruits de canalisations, mais pas de quoi gâcher votre séjour.
Une décontraction "british" agréable.
Un bon souvenir.
De l’espace, du charme, du calme ( sauf les cloches de l'église à 7h30) wifi un peu trop juste et réseau inexistant, gentillesse et disponibilité de Julie et Chris
Séjour au cœur d’un petit village où le calme règne.
Jolie prestation avec une piscine où il fait bon se reposer et profiter.
Des propriétaires accueillants avec petites attentions à l’arrivée.
Un grand merci.
La maison est parfaite et très agréable, tout à fait conforme à l’annonce, avec une belle piscine et une aire de jeu sympathique. Parfait en famille et entre amis ! Grand calme et accueil parfait.
Nous reviendrons !
Dépaysement total, oxygénation et bonheur familiale
Un merveilleux séjour dans une demeure alliant charme et authenticité. Située dans un tout petit hameaux, ce lieu est parfait pour une déconnection 😉 wifi et réseau téléphonique en vacances également 😉😂
Raisons de 4 étoiles au lieu de 5:
Frigo un peu petit pour une grande famille
Manque de coussins chaises longues à la piscine
Mobilier un peu… vétuste 🙃
Eau chaude limite pour une grande famille comme nous ou les enfants profitent de l’eau chaude avant les parents 🤪

la maison est très fonctionnelle pour un séjour avec des enfants , le préau permet même par mauvais temps de profiter des jeux
De très belles vacances en famille au sein d’une maison spacieuse. Une magnifique piscine et un bel espace aménagé avec des jeux ( ping-pong, billard, fléchettes...).
Une belle grange authentique avec tout le confort et le calme nécessaires . Parfait pour passer des vacances loin des villes.
Le plus, la salle de jeux très sympa pour les soirées d’ete.
Les propriétaires sont très gentils .
This property is just the place you need if you want quiet and relaxation . It is adequately furnished , for all your culinary needs . The only thing it is missing is a place near by to get your fresh bread from , but we stocked up every time we went to the local mini supermarket about a 10 minute drive away in Duras . The outside furniture could do with a bit of a refurb , but on the whole it was very pleasant to sit outside at night and listen to all the different birds and the church bells and eat the grapes off the vine on your patio . Don't forget your mosquito repellent! They were certainly active whilst we were there the last 2 weeks of September, also it was harvest time as well , so lots of flies etc .
We would like to thank Julie and Chris for helping us out at the end of the holiday as well , super , kind people .
Heerlijke en ruime woning. Keuken goed voorzien, mooie veranda om ‘s avonds te zitten. Zwembad (10x5 i.p.v. 12x6) heeft prachtig uitzicht en een mooi aangelegde tuin.
Omgeving mooi en stil, alleen een rustig doorgaand weggetje langs de veranda.
De bedbank mag geen naam hebben, daar kun je niet op slapen. Bij temperaturen boven de 30 graden waarbij het ‘s nachts niet goed afkoelt wordt het op de slaapkamers onaangenaam warm. Geen airco aanwezig, dus slapen gaat slecht. De bedden zijn erg smal. Geen horren of klamboe aanwezig, dus zelf maatregelen nemen is een must.
De eigenaren zijn vriendelijk maar zoeken verder geen contact.
Perfect getaway in very relaxing and peaceful village with beautiful pool and views
Beautiful old and authentic house with beautiful swimming pool and great games room. We spent a week at Sainte-Colombe-de-Duras, two families (4 adults and 4 children). Fantastic accommodating hosts and lovely place to base yourself to explore the local area. All of us loved the swimming pool and games room. Enjoyed having barbeque at the front terrace, kids loved running around as there was plenty of room to play. Kitchen has everything you need. It was useful to have washing machine as we came with kids. If you are looking for calm, peacefull and relaxing holiday, it's the perfect place to be :) Thanks to Julie and Chris.

Great place to stay
The photos do not do this place justice! It is extremely spacious, clean and overall a great place for a holiday with family and/or friends. Lots of space for everyone to enjoy. The owners are friendly and very helpful without being invasive. The pool is huge, with lots of inflatables available, and in the sun all day long. It is ideal for day time lounging. The covered barn area includes a pool table, table tennis table and air hockey table. It also has a bar area with bar chairs, so it's a good place to cool down when the sunshine gets too hot. In the evening the front porch with built in barbecue is the perfect spot for long dinners, as it gets the last of the evening sun and is nicely located next to the kitchen; we used it every night. As the property is in a very quiet location, a car really is mandatory. Shops are to be found without 10 mins or so. We stayed there as a group of six friends and had a lovely time. Would definitely recommend!
