Le Hibou @ Le Prielle is a large rural 3 bedrooms gite

What an amazing holiday we had. The gite was wonderful, well appointed and the pool was just beautiful. Paulette and Simon could not have been better hosts, nothing was too much trouble. They showed the children where to collect eggs and where to feed the pigs. The freedom our children enjoyed was so great for them. Truly the best holiday we’ve had, and we hope to be back again soon!

I was a little concerned about how our family would cope with staying in this rural location having stayed on campsites close to towns and with lots of shared amenities previously. However within minutes of arriving our boys (9 and 12 years) were running around loving the freedom of all the space, the various different garden games available and playing in the pool. The gites were well laid out around a courtyard with plenty of indoor and outdoor space a world away from the cramped caravan/lodges we have stayed in before. Paulette and Simon were welcoming and were incredibly encouraging - asking the boys if they had tried the fruit from the trees in the orchard, found the den in the woods, letting them feed chickens, pigs & piglets, and telling them when the best time was to look for chicken eggs. Paulette suggested some places to visit that we all might enjoy and was quick to respond to questions we had or sort out a few things that we needed. I can't imaging a more accommodating owner. Our holiday was finished off with the offer of a night-time swim for the boys and a glass of wine (or two) for the adults. Oh and in case you are worried, we had wi-fi access in our gite for times when we all needed to catch up with the outside world!

We arrived on a motorbike, in bright sunlight, through the vineyard and into the historic courtyard, edged by a mature garden with tall trees - a romantic setting. Our gite was comfortable and spacious, with doors opening up to enjoy the outdoor space. We could not have asked for more, perfect for a family gathering and at the same time easy to find a spot to retreat and relax too. We highly recommend this magical property.

Lovely, well maintained gites in a beautiful courtyard. Great gardens for kids adventures and a super pool. All topped off with wonderful hosts. Thanks Simon and Paulette, we will be back!

This VRBO was one of my favorite stops on our trip through Europe this Winter. The accommodations were clean and well appointed, and a great value for the price. Lots of activities on the grounds for kids to play, and surrounded by picturesque vineyards and friendly people.

A wonderful holiday. Very friendly and accommodating hosts and a charming and spacious restored property. Top quality swimming pool and many other activities for the family. Plenty to see and do within driving distance. An extremely peaceful and relaxing holiday.

Another fabulous holiday with Simon and Paulette! Our family of 2 adults and 4 children (12,9,6 and 3yrs old) spent another glorious 3 week holiday in Le Prielle this summer (August 2015). Beautifully peaceful - or as peaceful as it gets with 4 children! - in an idyllic location. On our arrival late in the evening we were met by Paulette who suggested the kids go straight to the pool with her, needless to say they didn’t need to be asked twice. The weather was lovely which gave us the opportunity to relax in the garden, wander through the orchard and over-feed the tolerant hens. Lots of out-door games for the kids including a newly built wooden house which was a great thrill – well done Simon! Hours of fun on the swings not to mention the very many afternoons spent in the pool. We were a little more adventurous this year and took several day trips – there is an endless list of places to see. As always Simon and Paulette go well beyond the call of duty to make a holiday here a really special one. We will definitely be back! Gormlaith

Great holiday, beautiful location - so peaceful & quiet. Pools were fantastic, a really family friendly place with plenty of things for the kids to do at the play areas & with the rugby posts.. Wine & food spot on. Hosts even drove us to & from restaurant & around a couple of chai's so we could do some quality wine tasting!! Rebooked for summer 2016 as we left - looking forward to it already!

Booked a gite for my daughter and family as we have a house nearby. Beautiful location very peaceful with good quality facilities. Owners are very accommodating. Good sized pool with paddling pool for toddlers. Would definitely recommend if you would like to get away from it all for a few days.

We had a wonderful stay at Le Prielle. Upon arriving after a long journey in an Austin Healey, we were greated by Paulette with a lovely cup of tea in the kitchen. After we had rested from our journey, we were shown to our accomadation. The gite was clean and contained all that was needed for a comfortable stay. We had pre ordered food for the fridge as well as a meal to be served in our gite during the evening. The meal was delicious and the fridge was well stocked as pre arranged. Paulette and Simon were gracious hosts and were always there when we needed them. I had a problem with a tooth and Paulette arranged a dental appointment with her dentist the next day. We had safe parking for the Austin Healey and felt free to do any work on the car at any time. The location was great for visiting many interesting villages, restuarants and vineyards. The swimming pool was well kept and there was internet connection. We were invited to watch Simon and Paulette's son play rugby which was exciting, almost as good as American football. We hope to revisit with our family in the future. I think anyone reading this will know that we certainly recommend Le Prielle
