La Maison Des Vignes

Patrick made us most welcome, provided us with a map and suggested walk. Walking distance to many sights and cafes. The fine quality linen and comfortable bed gave us a great sleep and then in the morning a delicious breakfast set out for us.

Fantastic location in the old town, a short walk to the river, markets and amazing old buildings. The hosts were keen to help, providing a marked up map for a walking tour, highlighting the restaurant areas etc. The accommodation is quirky and old, but with modern bathroom furniture and powerful dual shower head with plentiful hot water; comfortable king size bed, with quirky old light fittings and ancient steel bedside cupboards. A small lounge was set with large sofa/bed, and small patio style table with 2 small chairs and a window overlooking the inside of the reception room and kitchen! The bedroom had a Juliet balcony overlooking the narrow gap between the now conjoined buildings. Great continental breakfast, flexible to needs, including home made: jams, yoghurt and granola, with chopped fresh fruit, fresh squeezed orange juice, fresh coffee, with locally sourced breads and croissants. The accommodation is about 15 minutes walk from St Jean main station. We took the No 1 bus from, and back to the airport, and bought a 10 trip ticket covering busses, trams and the Bat3 shuttle boat on the Garonne, that was fantastic value. Simply insert the ticket into the stamper machine on the entrance to the transport (stamp twice for 2 people) - allowing 1 hours of travel - this lasted our 3 day stay. Loads of bars and restaurants surround the accommodation, so plenty to choose from. Search out the Happy Hour bars for better value drinks.

The accommodation is not for the infirm, having stone/concrete staircase access.

Breakfast was fresh and plentiful. Spotlessly clean.

No wardrobes or anywhere to hang clothes.

This is an absolute gem. Right in the heart of the old city, the building is architecturally interesting with a great history and wonderful charm. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was delicious!

It was hard to work the key to our room.
