This charismatic, centuries-old stone house is nestled in a hamlet not far from Sainte Foy la Grande and Duras, and within easy reach of the renowned town and wine producing vineyards of Saint Emilion, is the ideal place to stay for a family holiday. There is plenty to see and do in the area including walks in the countryside, sampling the gastronomic delights of the region and the superb vineyards, many of which provide wine tasting sessions.
The location is perfect for nature lovers looking for peace and quiet. All the equipment and the bedding is of good quality. The view from the terrace and garden is stunning, with two old walnut trees providing plenty of natural shade.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at Maison des Noyers. The property was clean and well maintained with a great layout both downstairs and upstairs for a large family. We loved the pool and spent most of our days there enjoying the sun and the undisturbed French countryside. Would thoroughly recommend to any family wishing to enjoy a taste of France, warm weather and a comfortable stay. Chris F

We absolutely loved the property; we would have no hesitation in booking it again at some point. It was in great condition and well looked after. The space was great and as we were looking for peace and quiet, especially the first week it couldn't have been better. French Gite Holidays, you were great and went above and beyond with your lovely email about the Tour de France. Thanks once again for a great holiday experience. Steve C
