Holiday Homes in Portes

"Thierry and Nathalie have the management of their gîtes down to an art. Their welcome and departure are quick, friendly, and easy. The gîte itself was clean, well equipped, and roomy. A car is a must to get about and the local area has lots to do. I recommend taking your hosts up on the offer à boulangerie run when they make one as fresh bread and pastries in the morning is a welcome treat. We had a lovely holiday here and would recommend. "

"Super. Prévoir des draps!"

"PositivesGorgeous house. An old building, lots of character & plenty of space. Enough room to tuck yourself away if you want your own space. Beautifully furnished & all the kitchen equipment you could possibly want.The hosts are friendly & pleasant.Lovely pool.Very peaceful & quiet there.Negatives - for usOur weather was really hot, around 36. Air conditioning works great in living areas, but does not reach so well to the bedrooms. Especially if you want to shut doors for privacy. There are fans which can be used in bedrooms, but no air conditioning directly in the bedrooms.The house is attached to the hosts' house. Totally separated off, with it's own gated courtyard area, so you have complete privacy within this, but the pool, table tennis & petanque are all basically through your courtyard gates, in the hosts' garden. Not far,100m or so maybe, but personally, from the description, I had pictured them more integral to the rental property, rather than actually quite separate & part of the hosts' property. Although the hosts were not using the pool much at all while we were there, you do not have sole use of it.You cannot wear sun cream while in the pool, which does limit enjoyment of it, easy to burn on shoulders etc. Wifi was poor. Only worked out in courtyard & cut out a lot, very frequently. Not practical for working, especially with heat & insects outside.No hot tub, despite this being listed in amenities. But it was too hot to want one while we were there!"
