We stayed a week here in August 2019. Location is just outside Bordeaux city centre which is perfect for exploring the region. The accommodation and garden is ideal for a couple to stay, relax and explore the area. Francoise is just the perfect host and makes you most welcome. Bordeaux is a lovely city to explore, however, consider also visiting Chateau Paloumey for a personal vineyard tour and wine tasting experience, the Roger Lapebie cycle trail is a great day out but mostly a visit to Oradour-Sur-Glane a WW2 preserved ghost town. Oradour is an absolute must for any visitor to this region. Our stay at La Maison d'Antoinette was just perfect to have a great relaxing and exploring holiday in a lovely area of France.

Nous sommes restés presque deux semaines dans cette maison, et ce fut très agréable. Nous recommanderons +++ à toutes personnes cherchant une location dans cette région de louer à "la maison d'Antoinette" Cette maison est très bien équipée et tout y est très bien réfléchi. La chambre, la salle à manger spacieuse et la cuisine sont très claires et donnent directement sur le jardin. Un WC séparé avec fenêtre est appréciable. Le salle d'eau comporte aussi une fenêtre et le lave linge y est installé. L'accueil de la propriétaire est excellent : A la fois disponible et très agréable, elle est aussi très discrète. Le grand jardin est accessible et nous avons pu manger dehors plusieurs fois. La location est très près de commerces et/ou restaurants avec possibilité d'y aller à pied, ou en voiture en quelques minutes. De plus pour aller à Bordeaux, le parc relais "Le Haillan Rostand" du TRAM A est accessible en moins de 10 mn en voiture, ou une station de bus (ligne 3), accessible à pied, vous y emmène directement. A recommander absolument. Merci de cet accueil !

We spent two days at Antoinette's house. It was a central location to visit Bordeaux. The bus service was excellent and cheap. The accomodation was very comfortable and the gardens were really beautiful. Our hostess Francoise was charming and very helpful. We would definitely recommend Antoinette's house for holiday accommodation near Bordeaux. Mary and Seamus Boden (Ireland)

Jolie maison, très bien entretenue. Jardin arboré des plus agréables. Location idéale pour un couple. Grandes surfaces et bus à proximité (ville ou plage). Un grand merci à Françoise pour la qualité de son accueil et sa gentillesse. Havre de paix, idéal pour se détendre après une journée de visites touristiques. Un très bon séjour.

The accommodation itself was ideal for 2/3 people -it had all the facilities that you need with well kept gardens that were not overviewed in any way.Francoise the host was lovely ,she kept her distance but tried to help when we wanted anything -Francoise understood a little English whilst we couldnt speak any French so translating anything was interesting .In terms of location it is perfect if you are aiming on travelling to Bordeaux and its neighbouring surroundings such as Arachon ,the beaches ,Its located within all of these lovely areas with a drive to the beach around 45 minutes[a very easy drive compared to the UK though].We took the bus into Bordeaux on a couple of occasions which took around 40 minutes if there was no traffic .This in my opinion was ok for the holiday that we had planned but if you aimed it just at Bordeaux city then i think by the end of the break you could be frustrated.There was a tram service that you could use from Saint Medard En Jalle which would make it quicker to access the city but it meant leaving you car at the carpark at the tram stop but i like to have a beer or 2 on holiday so this wasnt a option that i used .Bordeaux itself was a beautiful place which i think if you concentrated only on the city itself could be done in 3 days .I recommend the wine tour to ST Emillion this was booked online but you can also purchase from the tourist centre in Bordeaux .I would definitely come back to Bordeaux but if it was for a city break then i would aim to be a little closer to town as where we was located was a little quiet with very limited restaurants and bars.Please dont make the mistake we made and assume that everything is open on a Sunday-sure Bordeaux city there was things open but in the suburbs there was nothing other than fast food/pizza places to try and eat ,this was a lessons learnt ,of course we could of cooked as the apartment facilities were excellent but we wasnt that organised .In summary the accommodation and location was perfect with the holiday that we planned as we had a car to discover this beautiful region of Bordeaux.The one regret that we had was we didnt make use of the fantastic bike route from Lake Lacauna to Bordeaux-this is something i look forward to doing next time i see Francoise

We enjoyed an excellent week staying at La Maison d'Antoinette. Françoise was an excellent host and the accommodation itself was clean,comfortable and well equipped. The lovely garden was ideal for sitting in evening and enjoying a glass of local wine following a busy day exploring Bordeaux. The accommodation is situated in a quiet suburb of the city, about a 10 minute drive from the airport. We opted to use public transport for the duration of our stay and it was easy to download the metropolitan transport system app on to my phone, from which I could get a 7 day ticket. The bus route into the city centre was about a five minute walk from the house and the buses were pretty regular and punctual. The bus journey itself was around 45-50 minutes, depending on the traffic. The 7 day ticket is also good for the trams in the city centre. One day we also took the bus to the stunning beach at Le Porge. This is not part of the metropolitan system, but the cost of a return ticket was very reasonable. Again, the walk to the bus stop for this service was less than 10 minutes and the service was hourly. A very large shopping centre is conveniently situated nearby for getting in food etc. Overall a great stay, and many thanks to Françoise for making us so very welcome.

De passage dans la région, cette escale de 4 jours dans la délicieuse maison d'Antoinette était tout juste ce dont nous avions besoin : - un gite extrêmement propre et bien tenu, avec un équipement "comme à la maison" (maison et jardin!) - un gite décoré avec goût - un accès facile aux transports en commun - une hôtesse aux petits soins - Merci pour la délicieuse gelée de verveine et toutes les autres attentions. Rien à dire, si ce n'est un grand merci à Françoise

Een gezellig ingerichte woning, Goede ligging ten op zichte van centrum Bordeaux en het meer van Arcachon. Francoise was heel behulpzaam en heeft veel tips gegeven. Francoise, dank je wel voor je hartelijkheid en gastvrijheid. We hebben genoten!

Loved my stay here.Not far from the airport,but so peaceful.Bordeaux is a bus journey away,i only wish i had had more time to explore.The property is clean,and well maintained,and Francoise could not be any nicer,or more obliging. Thank you Francoise for your kindness,maybe if i return next year the weather will be better ?
