Lovely rustic rural retreat
Really nice property - especially the outside space which is fantastic. Very well set up for a large group. Well stocked kitchen etc. It's a very old and therefore rustic house, but very comfortable beds with shutters on windows, good air conditioning etc so good sleeping conditions. Some of the decor is quirky but fits the style of the house. Host was very helpful overall and resolved issue with neighbour.

Lovely holiday
We had a lovely time at an authentic French house. The space outside was lovely and a huge positive, in particular the terrace with lots of lovely shade from the trees was a highlight. Pool was great and well used.
We found the layout a little quirky, with showers in bedrooms and in one case a toilet off the bedroom. We did find we all got bitten a lot by some flying insects during our stay, so lots of insect repellent is needed. We also felt the property was a little tired for five stars and could do with a bit of a refresh for the highest rating.
And we hadn't realised when we booked that electricity up to a certain amount was included but you were required to pay a deposit from which the electricity would be deducted, and in the vast majority of cases if you wanted to heat the pool this would end up being an additional expense. I think this could be made clearer in the description before booking (but was mentioned in an email we received shortly after booking).

Large beautiful family vacation home
The house is very spacious with a bedroom and children’s’ dormitory upstairs with lots of toys and very cute beds. The house is decorated in an entertaining way with each room having a unique feel. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped. The garden and pool were excellent, the pool is warm, no need to heat it and has great views over the fields. It is very quiet and tranquil. The local Auberge restaurant is excellent and an easy 8 minute walk and the vineyard at the bottom of the road has great wine for 8 euros. Iris was incredibly helpful and gave us lots of ideas. St Emilion is about 40 minutes drive and Sté Foy la Grande has a wonderful artisan pâtisserie and great river bathing. The village is tiny and apart from the Auberge there are no shops so you will have to drive about 10 minutes. Some form of satnav is essential. We all had a great time and would recommend this for families or groups of friends.

Incredible Historic Property in Rural France
This property is truly extraordinary— a large renovated old post-house whose every corner has been lovingly furnished and decorated with local collectibles combined with high-tech features (TV, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth speakers, etc.…). The heated pool and jacuzzi on the edge of a lovely grassy field with the occasional deer, birds and owl create the perfect rural backdrop, and the house is very family-oriented (with games, stuffed animals. ping-pong table and more). This is the perfect place for any visit, but is particularly suited to multiple families. Hosts were generous and very helpful, providing a wealth of information about what to do and extra services that were available (baby-sitting, masseuse, cook). The little town nearby has a great restaurant, which is easily walkable. Highly, highly recommend!!!

Great to be back
This was our second visit to Le Chartreuse and it was great to be back in this idyllic setting . The house works well for multi generations and the setting is perfect - peaceful and quiet yet 30mins to St Emilion and just over an hour to Bordeaux
Walkable restaurant is great when you don’t feel like cooking outside
Recommend - thanks Iris and Michael

Beautiful villa, fantastic neighbourhood, very helpful hosts
This is an old, restored villa in a beautiful and very peaceful part of the world.
We stayed with our young kids and it had everything we needed - a beautiful pool, hot tub, playground and toys. Locally in the area there is as much to do as you feel like.
The house is extremely well equipped and more than comfortable.
The local vineyard was very hospitable and kept us well watered all week.
Iris was a star in helping us to arrange activities and generally pointing us in the right direction. She made our stay fantastic.
We will definitely visit again

Wonderful 3-generation family vacation place.
We enjoyed Montazeau in spite of the cold, mostly rainy April weather. It is a beautiful , quiet spot, very rural with lots to do in the area. We all wished we had brought more warm clothes because it’s a big stone house and we didn’t want to run the heat in all of the rooms but we kept the big kitchen toasty and spent a lot of time in the hot tub. It has a big outdoor terrace for dining and hanging out. The plethora of kids toys, games, trampoline, and the big kids dorm room kept them very happy and busy. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped and the owners had pretty much thought of everything. We were sad to leave.

Wonderful home in the French Countryside!
We stayed here for two weeks. The first week was with two other couples. The second was with children and grandchildren. It was perfect! The setting is magical - overlooking fields and vineyards. The outside is perfect for al fresco dining. The set up of the bedrooms provided plenty of private space for all the couples and families. Good use was made of the pool and hot tub by all! Iris and Michael were great hosts and attentive to all our needs. They have a relationship with Chef Franck who cooked two fantastic four course gourmet meals for us. He also cooked two meals and left them for us to have for dinner after long days of touring. His meals were some of the best we had in France!
The house is beautifully appointed and has a great eat in kitchen. It became our gathering site when we were not sitting outside. Plenty of toys for the children as well as a nice swing set! One thing to remember - like most houses in this region, this house has a washer but no dryer. Not a problem on sunny breezy days - in fact it was lovely hanging clothes to dry on the line outside. However, it can be a bit of a challenge to get the clothes dry when the rain comes - especially when traveling with young children.

Absolutely stunning!
The Chatreuse is absolutely stunning. We stayed in late June early July with a large group of friends which the property is ideal for. The overall property and its surrounding is stunning with a view looking out on to fields. Its a perfect place to spend some time relaxing- particularly in the hot tub! The property was beautifully clean and tidy. The owners are extremely friendly, they were very helpful and met us at the house with a warm welcome. The whole stay was perfect and we will definitely be back to stay very soon!

Séjour Très agréable
Le logis est magnifique, au calme et à 10 minutes de la gare. Belle région viticole à découvrir. Belles prestations, les chambres sont soignées et la bâtisse est joliment décorée. La piscine chauffée et le jacuzzi sont vraiment très appréciés. Par contre, il ne faut pas faire de bruit (écriteau et mesure de décibels, moyen!). Dommage pour un lieu qui peut réunir 20 personnes, sans faire de bruit, c’est compliqué. Nous avons apprécié les grandes tables dehors et le barbecue sous les arbres.
Je recommande ce gîte, mais attention à bien indiquer aux clients dans l’annonce que l’électricité est en supplément. J’aurai préféré un forfait compris dans le prix au départ, c’est moins mesquin.
Iris est très sympathique et disponible

La maison est immense, confortable, parfaitement équipée et située au milieu d'une très belle campagne. Nous avons trouvé le lieu très propre et prêt à nous accueillir grâce à Michiel et Iris qui sont des hôtes charmants et prévenants. Idéal pour un week-end en famille ou entre amis à proximité des vignobles.
