This is a super special 18th century windmill without sails, set totally on its own amongst the vineyards with panoramic views. In the original windmill are 4 flooìrs of accommodation: a below ground bespoke shower room with mosaic tiles from the Maldives ( with above ground opening window); a ground floor oak bespoke kitchen including a Us fridge with filtered water & ice cubes etc; a 5 ringed gas cooker, a microwave; a small oven etc ; top sail room / lounge/ office area with panoramic views; first floor bedroom with 2 x single beds & inset washbasin in the thick wall, with a tiny oak semi -circular wardrobe All are separated by winding stone steps with working trap doors to the top lounge in which is a semi- circular leather settee & satellite tv.. and desk to work on. It is not recommended for the mobility restricted or very young children but otherwise is absolutely wonderful for young families; perfect for honeymooners ( first or Second!); couples of any age who can still manage steps. In the designer extension are to be found a small garden room with bi-folding doors and the most wonderful view, leading onto a terrace with a large electric awning; a shower room; a spacious double bedroom above with a king sized bed approached by a little drop down stairway & with a star gazing velux window above the bed ( with blind). It is presented in a romantic fashion. Outside there is the private & very pretty kidney shaped pool complete with its own jacuzzi in the steps with water at the same temperature as the pool; a separate large 6-7 man hot tub; a Bbq ; firepit etc. Magnificent location. Tiny but perfectly formed. bed settee on the ground floor extension & folding chair bed with all necessary bedding also available for those unable to climb stairs still wanting to experience this unique building or wishing to separate children of both sexes. Please note : unsuitable for a 6-7 people rental as only set up for 4 with indoor & outdoor furniture! The garden shed has been turned into a fully tiled laundry room for your convenience.

Logement avec un charme fou
Les alentours et le logement ont un charme fou. Nous avons apprécié le calme de l'endroit et le panorama à perte de vue. Le logement a été très bien restauré et aménagé. C'est très émouvant de pouvoir vivre quelques jours dans un tel endroit. On pouvait se croire seul au monde, mais il suffisait de faire quelques kilomètres pour pouvoir faire nos courses ou trouver des restaurants à Monségur ou La Réole. Toute la famille s'est régalée avec la piscine, et le jacuzzi. Pour notre arrivée un panier avec de la nourriture nous attendait pour ce premier soir, et cela nous a fait bien plaisir.

Schöne Anlage
Der Rapunzel Tower ist eine wunderschöne Anlage inmitten von weitläufigen Weinfeldern. Wer die absolute Ruhe sucht ist hier genau richtig. Es gibt einen großen Pool der zur Alleinnutzung zur Verfügung steht. Eine schöne Grillstelle mit Blick ins grüne. Wenn es Abends mal etwas kälter ist, kann man in den Whirlpool gehen und einen traumhaften Sonnenuntergang beobachten. Wir als Familie mit unserem stressigen Alltag zu Hause, haben hier zur absoluten Entspannung gefunden. Vielen Dank Rita für die tolle Zeit in deiner Windmühle

A wonderful mini-moon in the sun!
We had an absolutely wonderful time at the tower! We stayed for the week after our wedding with our little dog Louis and loved every second - especially the gorgeous pool!! The tower is in a fantastic location with oustanding views of the surrounding vineyards. The garden is just perfect with lots of outdoor seating and a great BBQ area. Thanks so much to Rita for making our stay so special and all the lovely extras!

Get away from it all
We loved our week in the windmill! Received a warm welcome from Rita, who also kindly left a stash of provisions including two bottles of wine, pizza, salad, crisps, chocolate and other essentials to help us settle in. Plus treats for Molly the dog of course! The windmill is rustic and characterful - small but very well equipped. The outside is fantastic - the pool, the hot tub, the view... Totally peaceful and private in a beautiful part of France. Nearby town Monsegur has a lovely boulangerie for breakfast and we loved Sauveterre de Guyenne - very friendly tourist information office who took us on a quirky tour of the town with a glass of wine to finish. St Emilion only 40 minutes drive for wine connoisseurs but lots of lovely wine more locally - Maison du Vins in Duras very good, also friendly and you can try lots of different local wines. Thanks Rita - we'll be back!

Fabulous, unique place to stay with amazing views of local countryside .
Beautiful setting and the windmill itself a unique and special property with fabulous views of the wonderful surrounding countryside from the pool area and very top of the windmill. As stated in the discription and previous guests, the stairs inside are steep and must be managed with extreme care. Rita our host was welcoming & there to meet us on arrival despite our delays en route and she provided some essential goodies for us which were very much appreciated. We had a lovely holiday full of wonderful memories of this characterful and unique place to stay in a beautiful region of France

About the host

Hosted by Rita Thomas

Host profile image
I am retired & have lived in France for 30 years, 25 of which I have rented out my properties.

Why they chose this property

A simply beautiful little building in a simply beautiful location. A real'wow!' factor inside & out ...memorably unique. A view to die for from the settee in the new extension as well as the panoramic views from the sail room. Extremely relaxing & de-stressing.. Hard to find a better location than this.....and even better in the flesh.

What makes this property unique

Quirky building; wonderful architect desined extension in keeping with the original windmill & designer set pool. Quirky inside, too, marrying modern with historic. Panoramic views; very quiet, local beauty spot location yet only 3 mins drive to the nearest tiny bastide town for all amenities. It stands completely alone amidst the vines...not at the bottom of the owner's garden or next to it. Just a marvellous little property on all counts.
