Summer in Saint-Aubin
A truly wonderful property, really nicely designed and furnished. Spacious and well-equipped throughout. The pool is a really nice size and is also fully enclosed by a fence and gate, which gives you peace of mind to allow the kids to run around in the main garden (which is huge).
The neighbourhood is very peaceful and friendly, and an excellent location to go to Bordeaux itself or to the coast. There is so much to do in the region and all the shops you'd need are very close.
Our only difficulty was with communication as the host does not speak much English at all (while our French is equally weak!). This made finding the property and check-in quite a bit harder than it could have been, but in the grand scheme of things not the biggest deal in the world. The property itself was well worth the communication issues!
Our only constructive feedback and a word of warning to fellow Brits travelling in the summer - the house doesn't have a/c and is only equipped with one portable fan. It hit 36 degrees while we were there and it really was very hot still at night. More fans in bedrooms especially would be a welcome addition for those who aren't used to the heat!
Pierre and his son Joe are friendly, relaxed and very lovely and overall we highly recommend this property.
