Really great house. Nice and nicely decorated, both inside and outside.
We called it 'our estate, with driveway'. Swimming pool neat and clean and with all necessary 'tools'; fatboys, floating net etc. Good and pleasant communication with owners.

Five stars? Make it 6 stars! What a beautiful house, built around 1600 in a fantastic location in the Dordogne. An 11 hour drive and you are quickly Zen and hear very little. In the evening the owls and a stray car. That while you are sitting under the cozy canopy. Several seating areas around the house where you give your own twist. Swimming pool with the fatboys great and floating above the water. You heat the hot tub about 3 hours in advance and the temperature then goes towards 32 to 34 degrees. Lovely.
Atmospheric fitting interior of the country house or gîte built in our 80 year war. 3 bedrooms where 6 people can stay well with fans and they get a cool breeze. Large fridge with freezer, washing machine, dryer and TV with Canalplus. The hanging chair was a favorite and gives a cocoon feeling. Hammocks also available. A 5km jog? Fine and take into account an ascent of about 70 meters and the same descent. You can feel it.
Eating out: a bit of everything. We ate from a hamburger menu by the water, pizza burrata at Mentalo to a delicious 3-course dinner at Jan and Ruud, known from By by Belgium. Enjoyed it very much and especially the latter. A visit to Rocamadour is recommended, about 1.5 hours away.
Canoeing is very good there. Sandwiches, éclairs, tartalette, croissants etc. available at the local bakery.
The owners have made something great of it.
We booked 1 week of rest and that was more than worth it.

(08-2024) Dear Lydia,
We had a wonderful week with our family in Lesgrabous! The house is fully equipped and the garden and pool are fantastic. Tasteful interior and wonderfully thick towels. Breakfast, lunch, drinks and dinner on the terrace under the grape vines made it complete. Lots to see and do in the area. Walking to the village is doable but not the most pleasant way in the summer with regard to insects as the road mostly runs through the forest.
The contact with the owner of the house was pleasant and went well. There was a quick response and the problem regarding the water pressure in the showers was immediately resolved. We will definitely come back. What a wonderful holiday we had. Booked through FranceVilla for the second time but certainly not the last. Thanks!”
I will also send some photos!
Kind regards,
Pleuni

(07-2022) Hi Lydia,
Our holiday week in the Dordogne went well. Good weather, beautiful surroundings and a truly beautiful holiday home. Thank you for the pleasant and correct handling of our holiday accommodation. We enjoyed it in every way. Perhaps a single point for improvement, such as a mat on the tile floor in the bathroom downstairs (wet / slippery for seniors). I will email you some photos via Wetransfer.
Greetings,
Dick

(08-2020) Dear Lydia,
We had a wonderful holiday in villa Les Grabous. It is a beautiful house in a super nice and quiet spot. Upstairs you have 3 bedrooms. You reach the tower room through another bedroom. The weather was very warm and upstairs it was also very warm and it cooled little, so an air conditioning would have been nice. (Note from FranceVilla: we ask the owners to install fans in any case). The pool was also lovely and well maintained. And in the evening you could enjoy the deer that walked by. There is much to do in the area such as visiting castles or caves, in short, a great holiday.
My compliments to you for the information we have received about the Corona and our holiday. Thank you for that.
Regards,
Auke and Mirella
