Perfect peace and quiet!

We came to this cottage having had a week's walking in St Emilion, and were really ready for the peace and quiet of this place. We enjoyed the outdoor sitting area, which was beautifully shaded for most of the day. The cottage is well appointed, but if you like cooking could do with a few more utensils. The restaurant recommendations given by Caspian were very good so eating out was easy and inviting. The drive to Bordeaux took only an hour, and less than that to Bergerac, with all the vineyards inbetween to do lots of tastings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Weekend in Wisteria

Wisteria cottage was perfect. It was clean, spacious, fully equipped and ideally located for us. It is the most wonderful set up with a glorious pool, outside table, big comfortable bed, washing machine, hair dryer, even and iron and a bottle of wine. We loved staying and will definitely look for an excuse to come back soon. Caspian and Lou Lou were so friendly and helpful. I couldn't rate the whole stay more highly.

Beautiful, tranquil, relaxing retreat

Wisteria cottage is quite simply gorgeous. Everything is done to an incredibly high standard. Lulu Caspian and of course Geoffrey are incredible hosts, nothing is too much trouble. They have a wealth of information about the area which made it easy to find the best restaurants, bakeries and of course vineyards. We had a fabulous two weeks and would recommend wisteria cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing laid back holiday in lovely accommodation in a truly beautiful place.

About the host

Hosted by Caspian Flynn

Caspian was brought up in Germany, Lulu was brought up in Cyprus and Jeffery (our chocolate labrador) is a Welsh boy and we all found a most beautiful home in the South of France. Caspian is a Chartered Engineer by background and has worked for corporations in Germany and England. Lulu is a biologist and a qualified teacher and as a second career she also worked for a large pharmaceutical company in England for many years. We have many friends here locally and also internationally and enjoy their company whenever we can.

Why they chose this property

The fact that we already had many local friends around Bordeaux was an important factor for us to choose the vineyards of Bordeaux as our home. This combined with romantic vineyards, pretty villages, enjoyable towns, easy airport connections and the friendly locals made the task of choosing a home in this region simple for us.

What makes this property unique

The completely renovated Maison de Maitre (Manor House) dating back to the 16th century and giving one a sense of history, the beautifully lit pool area at night and the well laid out park make La Gorce a memorable experience. Its architecture oozes the charm one would expect of such an historic property. Completely rural but only 3 minutes drive from all amenities.
