Château de Julien overlooks vineyards in a little village near Lussac. This pretty white house, set to the rear of a wine château, has a private swimming pool in an enclosed garden. Simple but practical, it offers a cosy interior, full of charm, furnished with antiques, with a modern kitchen and living room opening on to a terrace.
There are lovely walks all around, many good value restaurants, and the famous village of St. Emilion is only five minutes' drive, as are Pomerol and Lussac. The area offers plenty of opportunity for wine tasting, and the excellent market at Libourne sells duck pâté, honey and shellfish. The city of Bordeaux, Arcachon and the Atlantic Beaches all make wonderful days out, and the motorway to the Dordogne is only five minutes away.
Nearby: 1km from Abzac (shop, café, restaurant), 11km NE of Libourne (market, River Dordogne), 13km NE of St. Emilion (old village, caves, wine estates), 25km E of Bordeaux (golf, lake, museums, River Gironde, boat trips, antiques). |
