I chose this place because it was in the countryside and I was traveling with my dog so I thought it would be nice for him to be out in the garden but they messaged me after booking asking me to keep my dog on the leash as they have 3 cats. That should probably be mentioned as it is a dogs friendly accommodation but can definitely be a problem for some people with their dogs. Also got there at 6 pm and didn’t know where to go to eat at all it would have been nice a bit more guidance. I ended up eating bread on my own in the darkness in the garden… lit some candles that were there to see my food🥹 Finally, it was a very hot day and the room did not have AC so in the night I opened the window but maybe because it’s a farm there were LOADS of mosquitoes and flies so that’s maybe something to take into consideration, perhaps mosquito nets?

The house is beautiful, it’s a very unique place and the owner is nice and friendly. They have donkeys and horses and caws. It’s very picturesque and the town is close by with a nice river.

The home cooked evening meals had rave reviews but we were given a salmon fish pie from the super market because the owner had been too busy to cook. No problem these things happen but disappointed that we were still charged the full price?

This is an interesting old house with a small number of very traditional rooms full of character. The owners are friendly and make you feel welcome. It is in a very rural locatation yet easy access to local town. Traditional french breakfast

Not as advertised. it's a B&B not a hotel. Garden overgrown, house very tired. Not a restaurant, no choice of meal too much focus on vegetarian and organic. Worst thing was nothing like the facilities advertised. Many items missing in rooms but advertised on booking.com. Once we paid 1€ short notice one was interested. No one there to show us how breakfast worked.

Setting and ckeanliy. Quirky old house. Knowledgeable and passionate about the house Cash only for evening meal or wine and we were 1€ short.

The climb to get there ( by bike) 😁

Warm welcome in an old presbyterian house. Host and his mother prepared dinner for me and let me taste the cognac from their vineyards. The house is 250 years old and has authentique details. Wooden stairs, high ceilings etc. I like the character and the whole atmosphere!

Bed and bedding could have been better

The place is centuries old. Very quiet and dark at night. Not to far from main N10 route. Slept with the enormous windows open.which made a change from our normal overnight stop in a plastic hotel. Owners were very welcoming and showed us around and gave us the history. It's a bit in a time warp and has been used for several film locations. We ate a 5 course home cooked vegetarian meal with them that night in the old kitchen, finished with their own home bottled cognac. You can park your car under the old open barn and the walled farm yard is shut at night so nice and secure. Our bed was a bit firm. Simple but nice continental breakfast at huge old dining table

It was a privilege to be able to stay in such a beautiful, old ancestral home. Luca, our host, has done a wonderful job of retaining the character and history of this historic property and is rightly proud of his family's home.

Simply beautiful old Manor House with delightful original features and stunning rooms. Charming host who is so proud of his heritage and family history.

Bed a bit hard for us, but that’s all.

Traditional home, very welcoming and helpful.

If you are seeking modern amenities this is not the place for you. The charm of the original decorations completely outweighed any need for modernity.

Classic old French country home surrounded by vineyards. All the floors and walls were from another era. This was an unique historical experience. And there were two delightful cats to get to know.

The gps location is wrong. Local restaurant is closed on a Monday

Easy for my dog, walks next to the house. I loved the surroundings. The house was as described but wouldn’t suit everyone.

Lovely vine clad house nestled in French country side. Our host Luca was very accomodating and efficient. We rented two bedroom for ourselves and our son and our bedroom was very grand indeed w a four poster bed and beautiful furnishings. Very comfortable and luxurious.

Mosquitos. A lot of them. Our fault because we left the windows open.

Fantastic location in an old family castle. Owner went put of his way to check us in early and made sure we had everything we needed!

This house is full of family history. It is on the outskirts of Birac so all shops and food are a few miles away but you would realise that when booking. The host made me a meal but not sure it is guaranteed. The house is worth a visit in itself.

It's a large historic building which keeps the cold insight in summer. You might feel a little bit cold but heaters and extra blankets are provided by the very friendly owner.

If you want to stay in a 250-year old castle, La Cure du Maine Charles is your place. Preserved over the years and nicely furnished with the family's antique furniture you feel transported back in time. An exceptional building to understand how families lived in former times. We appreciated the history even more after Luca, the owner, shared his family history with us. He made us very welcomed in English which he speaks beside French and Italian.

Stayed in May 2023

We loved the location surrounded by miles and miles of vineyards. The gothic room we stayed in came with beautiful carved furniture as well as an interesting story. Luca and his mother were extremely kind and welcoming and even provided a delicious vegetarian meal which we shared with them while hearing some fascinating stories about the history of the house and their family.

If you like an old French upper-class house with pros and cons, this place is perfect. Quiet and peaceful with old furniture and, in my case, a large four-poster bed. Missed a table with chair to work. Likewise, a "good chair". Fantastic atmosphere.
