Vines Villa & Spa, Bordeaux, Aquitaine, France

Le Verger has its own spa room - bubbling hot tub and separate swim spa - imagine a cross between a very small swimming pool and a hot tub - lots of jets, bubbles and lights with a counter current.

2 - 7 night breaks available. Open May to September

Situated in the heart of the Bordeaux vineyards (handy for Bergerac & Bordeaux airports), this large French house offers the ideal venue for your next holiday - be it with extended family, groups of friends, girlie weekend escapes or even a posh weekend hen do.

Originally part of the local château, the property is decorated in a shabby chic style and retains a wealth of original features - high ceilings for the main, beautiful fireplaces with real fires, private grounds and those all-important vineyard views.

The stone alfresco dining terrace overlooks the gardens, pool and vineyards and is just perfect for participating in a wine tasting from one of the local Bordeaux châteaux...or maybe just the indulgence of having a long leisurely lunch.

With its 7 bedrooms and 3 living rooms, there is plenty of space for everyone. The property's clever layout means that the grandparents can hide away in the ground floor bedrooms and living rooms, away from the hustle and bustle of the kitchen and terrace!

Outdoors is a fenced heated private swimming pool with plenty of sunloungers and a hammock. The enormous trampoline helps keep the little ones busy, as do the pedal tractors, sand pit, swings and slide - plus the freedom of acres of gardens to roam around in.
