My sisters and I were on vacation at French Activity Holidays in September of 2015. We had a wonderful time! The house is clean and welcoming with beautiful countryside views from each of the bedroom windows. On clear days you can see the Pyrenees Mountains from the living room! Even while being out in the country, we were able to get Wi-Fi. This was nice to be able to update friends and family on Facebook, etc.
Jill was a wonderful host making our stay comfortable with food that was absolutely delicious and plentiful. There were several times when Jill and Tim went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of either by driving us from place to place or by making sure our needs were met. They were a wealth of information for the surrounding area, taking us to various places that might have been tough to find on our own. (Not to mention that we were given rides back and forth to the train station in Bordeaux which was immensely helpful and put us at ease! Thanks Tim!)
My sisters and I went horseback riding at a stables nearby. Jill drove us back and forth. She made sure we were on horses that were appropriate for our skills and abilities. We could not have asked for a better, more memorable time!
Jill is a very pleasant, fun and energetic host that listens to what your needs and wants are and follows through. She will allow you to be completely dependent on her or independent of her, whatever it is that you want for your time there. In our case, we wanted to be shown the area when we were not horseback riding. We, with Jill and/or Tim as our guide, went wine tasting, to a local market in Eauze, on a trip to Lourdes in the Midi Pyrenees Mountains, visited Chateau Viella and even went to a local fete with music and dancing!
But you could always just stay at the house where the pool and beautiful scenery is and just relax!
