Remote and relaxing
We had a nice time staying in the cottage over ten days with our baby. Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings, and the owners are very nice. We enjoyed the decently private yard with a view overlooking the nearby town and river, and made good use of the barbecue. The pool was great on those hot August days. A few small improvements would have made it perfect: would have been nice to have a high chair to feed the baby, we found the mattress a bit too firm for our taste, and a good cleaning of spider webs is in order. Overall we're happy to have stayed and would be happy to do so again.

Très beau gîte avec une vue magnifique sur Pessac sur Dordogne.
Très beau séjour dans un gîte authentique et tres fonctionnel. Pas besoin de climatisation au vu de l'épaisseur des murs. WIFI très efficace. Mary, la propriétaire du gîte a rendu ce séjour encore plus agréable grâce à son accueil chaleureux et bienveillant. Alexandre et Stéphanie.

Séjour très agréable et très calme
Mary & John sont des hôtes très attentifs et très souriants. Pour eux, il n'y a jamais de problèmes, car tout est résolu dans le sourire: notre réservoir d'essence était vide lors de notre arrivée tardive. La vue est magnifique: au milieu des vignes et plongeante sur la Dordogne et le village de Pessac. Le logement est très calme et l'ancienneté de la construction aux murs très épais nous a bien protégé de la canicule à près de 41°. Il est rustique mais tout le nécessaire y est. 2 endroits extérieurs permettent d'être abrités à différents moments de la journée pour déjeuner ou se reposer. La séparation végétale avec la maison des hôtes permet une intimité très appréciable. La piscine est grande et les parasols permettent d'y apporter une ombre bienvenue; n'y manquent que quelques transats pour s'allonger entièrement au soleil. Il s’agît d'un site que nous recommandons particulièrement.

About the host

Hosted by Mary or John Sandifer

Host profile image
John & Mary Sandifer helped John's parents care for this family home and property since the early 1990's and assumed management in 2004. It has been our pleasure to welcome guests and manage the rental of the Petit Roque cottage since 1999. We are a French-American family with 3 children, and have lived in New York, London and Paris. But the Côte de La Tourbeille is the place we have always called home. In 2011 we took over the wine making work of the vineyard; our 2012 vintage won a gold medal in the Concours de Bordeaux. Since 2014 we also have been making a Rosé. "l'Esprit de Jeanne," and the La Tourbeille "Reserve" aged in oak barrels. Please see our story on our site

Why they chose this property

Le Domaine du Petit Roque on the Côte de La Tourbeille is a 100-acre property that has been in our family since the 1920's. The pastures are now used for raising grass fed cows (the vines benefit from this organic fertilizer ) and we are currently developing a large fruit orchard - John adores making home made jam. The guest cottage 'La Maison du Petit Roque' is set on the border of the vineyard, over looking the Dordogne River Valley.

What makes this property unique

When we walk the vineyard or the gardens here on this hilltop, we are always soothed by the calm atmosphere and transported by the wonderful views of the Dordogne River and Valley.
