A family celebration
We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful characterful farmhouse and surroundings. Everything is well appointed and great for three generations enjoying a family celebration together. The plum trees were also a big hit! Many thanks.

La Grivette, all that we hoped for and so much more!
After a month long stay in September, we are left with only fond memories of our time at this gem in Saint Colombo de Duras. The restored farm was the perfect balance of original character and modern comfort and the location couldn’t be beat. Waking to the sound of a distant rooster and a daily visit of a small herd of sheep and cattle just added to the ambiance. The sunsets and view looking out from the back patio were amazing; vineyards, farms and an ancient church with its bell ringing throughout the day. Our family enjoyed the many outdoor spaces to gather for alfresco dining, delicious food from the nearby villages of Duras and Monsegur and of course the wine! With lots of space, pool and game room, all members of our family had the most comfortable and pleasant stay. Omar, Sam and Fifi made us feel at home and provided us with local information and suggestions of farm markets, sightseeing and calendar events. With so many places to see within an easy drive, we struck out to medieval villages, wineries, weekly markets and mystery rides and were never disappointed. With our youngest family member taking his first steps in France, all the wonderful people we met and so many remarkable experiences, it was a holiday to always remember.

excellent séjour, maison très confortable
En dépit de températures très élevées pour un mois de septembre, grâce aux murs épais de cette ferme joliment restaurée et à la piscine, nous avons passé une excellente semaine à La Grivette. Décor très élégant de la maison, matériel de cuisine de qualité, grande propreté tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur dont le jardin est bien entretenu, tout était parfait. Omar et Fifi nous ont accueillis chaleureusement et Omar a par la suite répondu à toutes nos demandes avec beaucoup de gentillesse. une très bonne adresse !

TOUT SIMPLEMENT MAGIQUE :)
"Qu'est ce qu'on est bien ici !!" fût l'une des phrases que j'ai le plus claironné lors de ces vacances de 4 semaines (post Covid). Cela résume parfaitement "mon impression générale sur cette propriété". La restauration de cette bâtisse en ce qu'elle est devenue est tout simplement bluffant ! Chapeau à vous d'avoir pu et su préserver un bâtiment comme celui ci. Mais bravo surtout pour l'avoir, si subitilement et discretement, transformé en ce petit château, à la déco parfaite et fourbillant de détails. Tout y est de bon goût et fonctionel. La vue et le jardin ne sont pas en reste : les étoiles et la voie lactée sont biens visibles, le verger regorge de fruits (Prunes, Raisins, Figues). Les Vaches et quelques moutons sont également venus aux abords du jardin, nous rendre d'amicales visites régulieres. La piscine cloturée est très rassurante pour les parents. Pour compléter, BBQ, vélos, chaises longues, Table de ping pong et billard sont dispos. Bref, un petit coin de paradis, tout simplement.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with La Grivette - at the time only an abandoned farm house - during a long weekend visiting friends who lived in the area. It was a real 'coup de coeur' from the minute I saw the front courtyard, overgrown with abandoned roses, until we opened the back window that perfectly frames the Roman church off in the village. That was it - I had to own it. Little did I imagine the decade it would take to renovate... but that makes for interesting stories and we had great vacations with family, friends and anyone else I could convince to come camp and work on the property.

What makes this property unique

La Grivette is unique because of its charm and its isolated location. So many of the old farms were built right along the road, or have neighboring houses right next to them. If you are looking for tranquility, beautiful views, gorgeous sunsets over a Roman church, lovely walks, and the best night sleep you've ever had, then La Grivette is ideal place for you.
