Both, a paved area beneath a shady pergola and a sunny terrace, are ideal for alfresco meals.There is a very large, airy dining room (62sq.m) with a piano, seats 28, a spacious salon, comfortably furnished and with plenty of books, opening onto a Perigordian balcony and a large, well equipped farmhouse kitchen.

Wonderful multigenerational family holiday
We stayed in pillac with 10 adults from 74 to 34, and 9 children aged between 2 and 18 and what a holiday we had! The house is perfectly set up for family groups as each lot can take a "wing". A really well equipped kitchen enabled us to have wonderful meals at home... meat cooked by the boys and wonderful salads cooked by Barbara's friend. Barbara was super helpful and very easy to contact the whole time. The village was gorgeous but tiny..... about a 10 minute drive for any grocery shopping. Amazing towns and villages around, fields of sunflowers, kayaking, markets..... We all loved it, thanks Barbara !

Lovely relaxing venue for a big group - thoroughly recommended
Barbara was a lovely, attentive host. The beautiful, historic place is set in a quiet village in an idyllic countryside location. Great pool and surrounds with plenty of shade for the ridiculously hot weather we had when we were visiting. The house stays lovely and cool. It was excellent to have everything we needed on hand from kitchen supplies and essentials to pool toys and badminton sets and loads of towels, linens etc. Pool room was fun and there was too much to do in the villa. We had a great time chilling out and connecting over BBQs and lovely local food and wine. We loved exploring the local towns and canoeing down the river as well as a slightly longer trip to Cognac. We flew in to Bordeaux and out of La Rochelle which was a fun way of extending our holiday! Thoroughly recommended.

Home away from home.
We spent two fantastic weeks at Le Relais. Having come all the way from Australia, it was nice to have a big family get together with our family from the Netherlands, Ireland and the U.S. The house is so comfortable and homely that it felt as though we had always lived there. The property is incredibly spacious which allowed everyone to have their own space if required. The kids played in the pool, garden and playhouses day after day. No electronic devices were used throughout our stay. The nearby picturesque villages were full with culture and history. We are already planning our next get together in 2019. Our hostess Barbara was very welcoming and accommodating at our arrival. I couldn't recommend this wonderful house highly enough.

Gîte magnifique
Nous avons passé un excellent weekend dans le gîte de Barbara à l'occasion d'un anniversaire entre amis ! Le lieu s'y prêtait à merveille, tant par le nombre de couchages, la beauté de l'endroit, le calme à proximité, la grande piscine et les jeux présents dans le gîte. Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir une météo exceptionnelle pour ce dernier weekend de septembre pour en profiter au maximum. Je recommande vivement cette location. Ludivine

On était 23 et tout le monde a apprécié la location pour des raisons différentes - cadre super, calm, maison pleine de charme avec des recoins pour discuter tranquillement les uns avec les autres, les noisettiers pour ramasser les noisettes...Nous n'avions pas d'enfants avec nous mais plein de jouets pour faire le bonheur des petits ! Propriétaire très accueillant et disponible en cas de besoin sans être intrusive. Weekend réussi.
