A superb holiday
We have just had a fantastic two weeks at the Chai. The property is superb - the photos in the listing actually don't do it justice. Pool was used daily and is the perfect size. Anne is a wonderful host - really helpful with any questions about the property and local area. Would highly recommend.

Excellent property in good location
We stayed for two weeks in this lovely property. The pool and games room were both big hits with our children - especially the pink flamingo in the pool! We had a warm welcome and, while it felt very private, the owners were close at hand if we ever needed anything. We did lots of exploring during our stay and found some great places to visit. For longer days trips we really enjoyed Bordeaux, La Rochelle and Dune de Pilat. More locally, Pons and Jonzac were both lovely. There was plenty of room in the property and it was well equipped with everything we needed. The beautiful sun sets over the surrounding vineyards were a treat every evening. We would definitely return to this house.

Amazing property in stunning surroundings
This beautiful house is very, very spacious with great facilities. Set on a large plot just on the outskirts of Léoville, it is simply stunning. The pool is great and suited our 3 kids brilliantly and there were plenty of inflatables and toys in the games room. We were 2 families and the open plan living space and patio suited us well. The holiday as a whole really did exceed our expectations. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking, particularly large parties.

Fabulous property with the most stunning views.
We have just returned from a fabulous week and wish we had booked for two weeks. The property is perfect for families holidaying together, the property has everything you would need and there is lots to keep the children entertained. The views are breathtaking and Anne and Martin were the perfect hosts. Thank you for a fabulous week!

Excellent accommodation in a beautiful rural setting
We have just returned from our first holiday in France at The Chai and were totally taken back by this lovely part of France. Anne and Martin were lovely hosts from the moment we met them and throughout our two week stay were always happy to help and guide us to the best attractions and places to visit. The accommodation was superb, clean and very spacious and catered for our two families each with a teenager. The pool was ideal along with the barn with its table tennis and many recreational items as well as the large and spacious area outside which was ideal for alfresco dining, we had many a happy evening spent having a BBQ and watching the beautiful sunsets. We would highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to visit again.

Great property, met all our expectations,
Ann & Martin were great hosts. This was our first sortie to the Bordeaux region of France. We stayed at the Chai at La Chappelle having driven all the way from Kent. Ann and Martin greeted us in a typical French relaxed manor and we were grateful for the welcome pack, it enabled us to have a cup of tea and a dip in the pool after the long drive. The flamingo in the pool caused much merriment for us and our family at home (once photos were supplied to them). The accommodation in a quiet rural area with spectacular views was clean, spacious and well kitted out for all our needs Martin and Ann with their local knowledge were happy to spend time helping us plan our excursions. The local village hosts a butcher, baker and in the summer a pop up restaurant which we really enjoyed all within a healthy 25 min walking distance. We would recommend the property to anyone who seeks a quiet relaxed, secure, rural location with drivable access to many places of interest.

Groot huis met prachtige tuin
Groot huis aan de rand van Léoville met 4 ruime slaapkamers en 2 badkamers (waarvan 1 ensuite). Prachtig grote tuin waar je op elk moment van de dag in de zon of schaduw kunt zitten. Vanuit de tuin keek je over mooie velden met bloemen. Het zwembad was mooi en had precies de goede maat voor onze 3 kinderen van 3, 5 en 6 jaar. In de schuur stond heel veel speelgoed en vooral de voetbaltafel was een groot succes. Er is ook genoeg te doen in de omgeving. We hebben verschillende plaatsjes bezocht die de moeite waard zijn zoals Jonzac en Aubeterre-sur-Dronne. Het strand ligt op een uurtje rijden. Anne is ten slotte een hele fijne gastvrouw. Ze staat altijd klaar om je vragen te beantwoorden en heeft veel tips over bezienswaardigheden in de buurt. Heel erg bedankt voor 2 leuke weken!

Séjour plutôt frustrant
Les propriétaires étaient à l'autre bout de la maison, dans une partie contiguë et nous ne nous sommes pas sentis chez nous mais chez eux. avec impossibilité d'inviter qui que ce soit. Impossibilité qu'il y ait plus de 2 voitures garées. Séjour totalement gâché. Aucune liberté.
