We stayed here for six nights . We had intended to stay for three nights but went back for another three as we liked it so much. It is a beautifully recently restored property.

The rooms are excellently appointed with views of the surrounding vineyards There is a well equipped common kitchen area which you can use to prepare food-handy for a long lunch.

Evening Food is available on a table d'hote basis where you can sample christine's excellent cooking and sample local wines and cognacs courtesy of Jean-Luc.The standard of food was excellent and very good value. Home made croissants for breakfast have no match!!

You can be as busy or lazy as you like. We found the outdoor heated pool a lovely spot to head for in the afternoons having visited/walked/cycled around the surrouding vineyards and woods.If you want a warm genuine welcome a beautiful relaxing property and good food -look no further

I have just returned from two wonderful weeks at Le Relais de Saint Preuil. Our group included my wife and two small children and my wife's parents. The three bedroom apartment (Le Coche) was a perfect match for the size of our party. We gave the in-laws the master bedroom with en-suite and then our family used the other two bedrooms and family bathroom. The quality of the apartment is very high and the owners have done an excellent job at fitting out the apartment to a very luxurious standard. The setting was great and we spent most of our two weeks outside in the sunshine playing with the children - the sandpit, slide, swings and play area are perfect for young children. We also used the BBQ many evenings cooking up fine local produce we bought from the local markets. The owners are extremely helpful, friendly and cook an awesome 3-course dinner, including wines and cognac from local producers. We also took advantage of the sauna, fitness room, tennis court and the grounds. There are outstanding restaurants (recommended, booked and arranged by the owners) in the local area. It was a totally relaxing holiday. I would thoroughly recommend the apartment for a family with young children wanting to relax, but with many opportunities to be as active as you want to.

Stayed at one of the 3 gites in Le Relais from 5th-12th August 2006. We cannot recommend it highly enough. The property has been beautifully refurbished to a very high standard and is in the most peaceful setting amongst the vines. Each room was tastefully presented with high quality furnishings and fittings, with pool towels and nice toiletries. Each room also had the benefit of broadband (ADSL) access.
There are in total 3 gites and 5 guest rooms, but all are part of the same building.
The owners are delightful and nothing is too much trouble. They also speak very good English! They were happy to recommend excellent local restaurants. L'Auberge at St Meme nearby was superb and reasonably priced.
There is a large swimming pool which we had pretty much to ourselves during the whole week. There is a tennis court, table tennis, small children's play area and barbecue (none of which ever seemed to be used)
The owners also cooked a beautiful dinner in the courtyard or on the terrace if you prefer.
The only negative was that the gite Le Coche, where we stayed, was on the first floor (if you are American, I mean the second floor!) and therefore, unlike the other two gites, did not have it's own terrace, although we simply sat by the pool in the evening (by ourselves)
An absolute delight.
