The Apartment is part of The Old Presbytery, a maison d'hôtes (guest house) with five guest rooms and a self-catering apartment, run by Wayne and David. It sleeps up to 3 (50 m2): a spacious bedroom with a super king size bed, air conditioning, and an ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower. A private entrance opens onto the courtyard with outdoor seating. The living room includes a sofa bed, dining area and kitchen, and leads to a terrace overlooking the pool. You will sleep in organic cotton bed linen, with soft organic towels and eco-friendly toiletries in the bathroom. Fast WiFi is included, breakfast is available for 12 euros per person, and we serve homemade dinners three nights a week. The pool and gardens are shared with our other guests, and there is a games room with a pool table, a yoga studio, a gym and an infrared sauna. We welcome adult guests only. Up to two dogs are welcome, free of charge, and Sherlock and Mrs Hudson (our Airedales) will be very happy to meet them.
Nature and surroundings
We care deeply about sustainable travel and try to keep things simple and low-impact. We produce 80% of our energy needs from solar, we use filtered tap water and give our guests reusable bottles to cut plastic waste. We compost food waste and grow some of our veggies. We are on a quiet hilltop in the countryside of Saint-André-et-Appelles, surrounded by vineyards and orchards. As befits a former presbytery, we are next to a small chapel and its peaceful cemetery. The Chemin de Compostelle passes our front door: walk the Chemin, or take one of our free e-bikes to go further. Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, a 13th-century bastide town on the Dordogne River, is 5 km away, with shops, restaurants and one of the best Saturday markets in France, and on summer Thursdays the night market is a must. Within reach: Duras (20 min), Bergerac (30 min), Saint-Émilion (40 min) and Bordeaux (1 hour). With no public transport nearby, a car or bike is best; Sainte-Foy station connects Bordeaux and Bergerac.
