Manoir des Vités, Charming Country House

Perfect for family holidays, house parties, celebrations and group events, "Les Vites" offers ample space, old fashioned charm and beautifully thought out decor. The large enclosed garden, full of fruit trees, is delightful and has a large swimming pool. There are several outside eating areas. You can choose amongst them whether to lounge by the pool with a cool drink or to sit in the shade of the trees and enjoy a barbecue, or to watch the sun go down in the comfort of a vintage Lloyd loom. If you want to escape the heat of the midday sun the orangery by the pool is a perfect haven for a siesta, for reading or listening to music in. Cool inside, the house is welcoming and comfortable. There is a timeless and romantic feeling as you come through the front door. All the rooms are large, light and airy. The bedrooms are furnished with a mixture of french and English antiques and textiles. On the ground floor there is a sitting room with an enormous selection of DVDs, board games and books, a formal dining room, a large convivial country kitchen, a back kitchen/buanderie and a larder. Set amongst sunflowers, vineyards and plum orchards this stone built manor house is within reach of both Bordeaux and Bergerac airports. The rolling countryside is idyllic and the local bustling market towns of Duras and Monségur are full of bars and restaurants. There are farmers markets in different villages as well as unmissable night markets held throughout the week Les Vites is an ideal base from which to visit the vineyards of Bordeaux, St Emilion and the Sauternes
