Country House - Le Mini Vau

The location was tranquil & picturesque surrounded by forest and a beautiful lake view with plenty of wildlife. The gite was small and comfortable with the essential amenities. However, the cleanliness was lacking, especially the bathroom which was very dirty and smelled like stale urine. In the second bedroom there was large patches of mold on the walls. The floors would benefit from a thorough clean as the grout which should be white was black and the floor was covered in hair and crumbs in all rooms. The pool area, although beautiful in design, had similar issues with green stained sides. Verdict: This Gite has great potential with a serene setting that nature lovers would appreciate. Addressing the cleanliness would elevate it to a standout stay.

Property ideal for two people, kitchen and bathroom small but adequate for us. Good size lounge. No storage in the bedroom but we used the big wardrobe in the spare bedroom. No internet all week due to a storm. The pool was warm and very pleasant, you need to ask the concierge to remove the cover. We didnt have to share the pool but it could be a squeeze if there were groups from other properties. the place is very rural and beautiful, the lanes through nearby woodland can be a bit confusing at first to access the property but we soon got used to them, It is isolated and Bourgeuil is 8 miles away to get to the nearest supermarket. Had a couple of lovely restaurant meals there and the Tues market is excellent. Christine the concierge cannot speak english but we managed and she is a nice lady, very hard working. Lovely sitting by the lake listening to the birdsong. Very much enjoyed our stay
