“A lovely base for our summer break! Loved swimming in the pool and very friendly and knowledgeable owner!”

Great communication by the owners! It is located within easy reach of shops and nearby towns. We also loved the swimming pool and the fact that it is dog friendly!

Like a children’s book, a place full of stories and history and magic. Comfortable, warm. Our host was great to us, putting all the effort to make us happy. Special mention to the fabulous breakfast. Just a special, lovely experience. So grateful.

“Ken and Sabine welcomed us into their wonderful home and made sure we had a memorable stay.”

We loved the character of the building and the excellent pool. The hosts were always on hand to answer our queries and suggested places nearby to visit.

“Fantastic fairytale retreat!”

If you're looking for a rural out of the ordinary destination, then look no further. This property exceeded our expectations, I was taken a back as soon as we reached the property. I would describe this property as a medieval hidden secret garden. I felt like I had just stepped into a fairytale it was breathtakingly beautiful and was in absolute ore of the place. Ken who was out host greeted us upon arrival but also kept in contact with us in the lead up to our arrival which was very thoughtful and also very considerate as we were having major car problems and arrived outside of our arrival time. He gave us a tour of the property and grounds as well as described to us the history of the property. The couple have their own book out which talks about the history of the property as well as how they transformed it from an abandoned late 1500's (If I've remembered correctly) property into this spectacular hotel stay with multiple independent holiday homes. It is one of the most fascinating and interesting places we stayed on our trip and was gutted we only stayed for one night. Ken went out of his way to ensure that we were happy and we had everything we needed. The holiday home in which we stayed was amazing, it came with it's own kitchen and dining area, which also consisted with a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. It had two bedrooms alongside a shower room and separate toilet. The space was huge and you really have everything you need for a 2 week holiday. The pool for me was one of the best features of the property as it was situated looking out over the French hills. I enjoyed an early morning swim before we headed off that morning. The pool is heated so although the air temperature was cold the pool was lovely and warm. The breakfast was served in a separate part of the grounds which was situated in a really cool medieval living room with stone walls and floor. You will not be disappointed!!

Les Jardins de La Contie is a beautiful villa with lovely appartments, a very friendly and helpful host. The villa is situated in a beautiful quiet area from which it is easy to get to the various sites by car. The pool area is beautifully made. All in all we had a very lovely time here!
