The owner is always on hand, providing everything from transport to and from the airport to full catering - whilst fulfilling (almost) all wine wishes. We would call the atmosphere of this luxurious country house elegant while at the same time welcoming and inviting. The owner has transformed Bellefleur into the holiday home you would most want to live in. With this in mind, a place has been created where you immediately feel at home: relaxed, comfortable and carefree. You will enjoy excellent facilities, plenty of space and beautiful decor chosen with a keen eye for detail. All bedrooms have an en-suite bathroom and the kitchen is extremely well equipped, with luxury glassware and crockery and more than enough pots, pans and dishes. All the necessary equipment is available for making and serving a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner both indoors and outdoors and enjoying a beautifully laid table in the spacious open-plan kitchen or in the shade outside on the terrace. In the cosy living room, you will find a beautiful fireplace with plenty of wood, perfect for those cooler evenings when you want to snuggle up on the comfortable sofa with a tablet or a good book. There are also plenty of games and a PlayStation so that younger guests can have fun too. On the bookshelves, you will find books in English, Dutch and French; pick up a gripping novel or browse information and facts about the area. Beautiful works by local artists, as well as some international pieces hanging on the walls depict beautiful rural scenes and reflect the tranquillity of this stunning wine region. Finally: The heated saltwater pool is popular with everyone. It measures a whopping 12 x 5m and is fully fenced. Relax on one of the sun loungers on the sun terrace and enjoy watching the children play in the water. Or swim lengths as they have fun playing hide-and-seek in the garden or a game of table tennis, badminton, croquet or frisbee. With its blend of countryside tranquillity, proximity to Bordeaux and Bergerac, Bordelaise wines, Périgord cuisine, a number of golf courses and numerous medieval towns, Bellefleur offers a fantastic getaway for a wonderful holiday in the Lot-et-Garonne region.
