We had a wonderful time at L'Ancienne Distillerie. The gite was very pretty, really spacious and equipped with anything you could possibly need. With a lovely swimming pool, wonderful games room, barbeque areas, gardens to sunbathe, picnic and play in, bikes to borrow and plenty of safe roads through the vineyards to use them on, this is a brilliant place...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at L'Ancienne Distillerie. It was just as the 'photos had led us to believe-and more. The space behind the gites is impressive.

I stayed at L'Ancienne Distillerie with family and friends for 2 weeks this summer. We were lucky enough to stay in two of the giltes (Remy Martin for the 8 of us and then Martell when our friends went home) and both were fantastic. The gites are well laid out, nicely decorated and well furnished. The grounds including the large... More
