The area
Set in the picturesque rolling
countryside of the Ste. Foy / Bordeaux wine region, Mauberts is a superbly restored stone house which has been finished and furnished to a high standard. Conveniently located approximately 5 minutes by car from
Ste. Foy la Grande, on the Dordogne river – Mauberts is within easy distance of both the heart of the Dordogne valley, with its breathtaking views and its numerous tourist attractions, and in the other direction, the beautiful city of Bordeaux. Just beyond Bordeaux is the fantastic Atlantic coastline, which boasts the highest sand dunes in Europe and some of the best beaches.
Ste. Foy La Grande is a lovely example of a Bastide or Fortified town and boasts an array of excellent restaurants catering for all tastes and pockets. It also hosts a superb bustling and colourful Saturday morning market as well as all the usual amenities; supermarkets, banks etc.
The house itself is set in a peaceful location to the side of a quiet country lane. The front of the house looks onto the swimming pool and open fields and woods beyond. In the immediate surrounding area are acres of vines, trees, rolling fields and sunflowers.
The closest Boulangerie is about 2km.
