Restored Périgord farmhouse, absolute peace and quiet, private swimming pool (Wallbox on site)

To celebrate a significant birthday I booked Christian’s restored farmhouse complex near Fumel for my extended family and some friends (12 of us in total). There are 3 bedrooms in the large farmhouse, another 2 in the neighbouring gite, and one more newly refurbished room in the house opposite, perfect for my parents with a walk-in shower. All the spaces are very well presented, inside and out. The shared spaces are large and comfortable, and the kitchen has all the facilities you could need, with ample storage. We loved the technology too, especially the speaker system that meant we could have music outside during our evening meals on the veranda. The pool was clean, not too cold and very well used! The views are amazing and the property is incredibly peaceful, but only 5 minutes away from Fumel/Montayral with all the restaurants and shops. Perfect location also for exploring the local area, with great chateaux and beautiful villages nearby. Christian did a great job making us feel welcome and answering any questions we had. I only wish my French language ability was a bit better, but we managed to communicate well in any case! We will always have lots of great memories from our stay, and I would highly recommend Pouzatel to anybody.

Christian could not have done better to make sure our stay was memorable. We were a party of 10 and the main house, the gite and the loft. It allowed for separate space but loads of time to get together in the main house and pool to enjoy the weather and the the wine! We could not have wanted for anything else with the exception of a few less wasps! Would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you Christian

We had a fantastic time here, which was a well needed break that exceeded our expectations. Christian and his wife were amazing hosts, who were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. They went above and behind to ensure we had a comfortable and memorable holiday. The house was equipped to a very high standard and was extremely clean. The outside space was well thought out with brilliant sound system, BBQ and comfortable outside seating to enjoy al fresco dining and to top it a beautiful countryside view! A supermarket and amenities were also within easy reach. We would not hesitate to recommend this property! Thank you again for a truly amazing holiday!

Our group had a lovely stay at Pouzatel in September 2019. There were 9 of us in total (4 parents and 5 young adults), and the main house and cottage gave us plenty of space to make ourselves at home. Both properties are very well equipped, especially the main house, with its spacious, hi-tech kitchen, beautiful dining room, etc. The 2 sets of parents chose to sleep in the cottage as they were the only en-suite bedrooms. A little less glamorous than the rooms in the main house, but we were perfectly comfortable. The pool was wonderful and it was great that there were other activities on-site to keep everyone happy, e.g. table tennis, a pétanque court and a pool/billiard table. The icing on the cake was the quiet, rural location, so it was peaceful and ‘away-from-it-all’, although we were only a short drive from shops and supermarkets in Fumel. Well worth a visit is the Chateau in Bonaguil where we had a terrific guided tour in English. A bit further afield are Puy L’Eveque, Cahors and Rocamadour… all very pictureque towns to visit with great restaurants and brasseries. Christian and Nicole are friendly and hospitable and their 3 dogs are adorable. Our only complaint was that the English version of the Homeaway website failed to inform us of some rather important information prior to our booking. At the time of writing, they are still listing bedlinen and towels as ‘provided’ and, on closer inspection, now I can see in small-print, in French (after the reviews, the location map and the calendar), a tiny mention of ‘departure cleaning’ and linen hire, plus details of a €1500 security deposit. None of us had any idea of this at the time of booking, and it created considerable stress and embarrassment during the final few days before we began our journey to France. Christian did show us evidence that the information was clear on the French equivalent of the listing, but Homeaway really need to provide clarity on this for English-speaking visitors. Thankfully, Christian was very gracious and kind about the situation and the issue did not spoil our holiday. He allowed us the option of cleaning the house before we left and, as there were 9 of us, we could each take a share. We would like to send thanks to Christian and Nicole for being lovely hosts and we will happily recommend a stay at Pouzatel.

Stayed here for 10 days in August/September time and absolutely loved it. Fantastic property and great host. Any issues we messaged the host and he helped immediately and was always there if we needed any advice (e.g. local area and great places to eat). The house was separated into two properties but the main part of the house was more than big enough for the 16 of us. Heated pool was great as well and the views from the property were amazing. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a bit of peace and quiet with beautiful surroundings. Thank you Christian!
