"We had a heavenly week at Le Caillau. The house is absolutely charming and has the most comfortable feel, the decoration is beautiful with wonderful wallpapers and matching curtains. The grounds are stunning and the pool has a fabulous view, although we were there the first week in June most of us swam in it every day in spite of it not being heated. Kev and Shell were the icing on the cake, they were so helpful with restaurant suggestions, nothing was too much bother and they were just delightful. We hired bicycles and really enjoyed cycling into Nerac along the quiet back roads. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished we had stayed two weeks instead of one! Thank you all."

"Le Caillau was everything Jack promised. It is a charming house in a most wonderful position and had absolutely everything we wanted for our one week family get together. Jack set the whole week up with great attention to detail and, when we were there, Kev and Shell (who look after the property) could not have been kinder or more helpful. Thank you Anglo French Properties. "

"Le Caillau is a small gem in a beautiful part of Aquitaine a short drive away from the ancient town of Nérac. The first impression one receives on getting there is that you have been totally and utterly invited into the owner's home, a home oozing history and stories of adventure! The walls are beautifully wall papered with matching curtains, family portraits, wonderful books… nothing blatantly out of bounds… one feels like a true guest! The week we stayed was hot… 40degrees HOT but the old farm house with its thick walls kept one perfectly cool if escape was needed… equally the crystal clear swimming pool was a magnet that gave a load of relief and fun for the whole family! The house will sleep 4 couples in fabulous bedrooms, more or less with their own bathrooms even if not en suite as such and there is an annex which is perfectly comfortable! One of the greatest assets are the wonderful couple who live nearby Kev and Shell… they look after every need however large or small in the most discreet way… The pool is plainly Kev’s baby… and is a baby that wants for nothing! They offered wonderful advise on where to eat out, find the best Boulanger, places to visit etc etc. in short it was a complete delight."

"Le Caillau is a beautiful house and feels like staying in someone’s home rather than a normal holiday rental. The views from the pool were fabulous and the serenity and sense of calm was very special. Kevin and Michelle were wonderful - very helpful but also discreet so they made sure we knew they were on hand for anything we needed whilst completely respecting our privacy. A very special place! AngloFrench properties made the process of renting extremely easy and their communication was excellent and very speedy!"

"Le Caillau is a very special place, in the most tranquil setting surrounded by beautiful sunflower fields and farmland. Views from the house stretch out over the glorious countryside and the sunsets in the evening were not to be missed. The house itself is welcoming, stylishly decorated and very comfortable; a feeling of ‘home from home’, with spacious bedrooms and bathrooms and very comfortable beds! Outside, there are plenty of places to relax and admire the views and the swimming pool was a big hit in the heat of the July sun. Our holiday was certainly enhanced by the presence of Kev and Shell who, although very discreet, were so friendly and willing to help us to enjoy the area with their knowledgeable recommendations of places to visit and helpful booking of wine tours and tables at restaurants. Helping us to choose the house for our family holiday was made easier by Jack’s knowledge of the property and region and his personal attention to detail throughout. One week at Le Caillau was definitely not long enough….."

"...What can I say about our experience with Anglo French Properties. From our first communication when I emailed Jack and told him our our family wishlist, Jack came back with the perfect property for our family at Le Caillau. A beautiful house in the South West of France, a true home away from home. Kev and Shell who are the most amazing couple live at a little cottage on site and they really do make it like home, they are a wealth of knowledge on the area and are great with kids. We were sad leaving. We stayed for 3 weeks and really took to French life, the pool was a great hit and we spent many days at the pool with its breathtaking views. There are so many beautiful villages all within a short drive, each with breathtaking views, markets and loads to do. Nerac is a couple of minutes from the house with all the amenities you would need, and if you are lucky to be there in July the town hosts amazing night markets where the community come together and just hang out, eat, listen to music and drink wine, all with a back drop of the town. Le Caillau was such a beautiful house, and as an interior designer it was a visual dream, all the beautiful art work, furnishings and collectibles really make you feel like you are in a family home. We really don’t have any negatives, it was a dream holiday, in a dream house, in a dream location being looked after by the dream team Kev and Shell. From the bottom of our hearts thank you all."

"...Le Caillau is a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of London life; surrounded by beautiful open countryside, forests and sunflower fields. The garden and pool area are a particular plus with far reaching views and mature trees. The house is cool during the day and very comfortable with the authentic lived-in feel of a much loved-family holiday home - floral fabric wall-paper and shades of Nina Cambell without the fussiness.The guardians, Kevin and Michelle, are charming and could not have been more helpful. I couldn’t recommend Le Caillau more highly."

"...My family and I were looking for a special place for a family holiday for what would be the first time we would all spend a week together since before lockdown. After looking at several different options we settled on Le Caillau and it was the best choice we could have made. Set in glorious countryside and surrounded by farmland and sunflower fields the views are stunning and we all loved the total tranquility. The house is beautiful and worked brilliantly for our three generational family. A major highlight was being so beautifully looked after by the caretakers Michelle and Kevin who live in the grounds. They were always on hand if we needed them to answer any queries or give us advice about local activities. As well as lazing round the beautiful pool we enjoyed a boat ride down the river, a bicycle ride beside the river under a shady canopy of trees with a cafe along the route, an excellent adventure playground for the children, kayaking, visiting some of the local restaurants, one within walking distance across the fields, exploring local villages and going to the markets. We would definitely return and cannot recommend it highly enough."

"...We stayed at Le Caillau for a week in August 2019 and we couldn’t have been happier. It was a lovely drive up to a wonderful looking house, however the really beautiful thing about it was the view at the front of the house, you felt free, private and very peaceful. The swimming pool was charming, the view from there was as if you were the only people existing. If you like the countryside and you enjoy being in someone's home and not a plain tomb of a rental this is the house for you. We ate lunch by the side of the house in the shade and dinner in the evenings at the front overlooking the garden and fields, the housekeeping couple were incredibly helpful, they did more hours for us to leave us free and were incredibly accommodating with every request. The area itself is lovely, we went down the river in Nerac, there was a simple sports site 5 minutes away with a fantastic zip wire through the trees for children, lots of markets every day in different towns, and I am sure great restaurants although we never tried them. The 3 main bedrooms were huge with lovely bathrooms and the house had a really happy lived in and loved feel to it."

"...We had a terrific holiday at Le Caillau in June. We are not France specialists but this area has a wonderfully relaxed feel and the house is a delight, sitting beautifully in its own extended grounds. The swimming pool was very popular, with stunning views and the whole holiday was extremely relaxing and easy. Kevin and Michelle could not have been more accommodating and friendly. Jack and his team were very attentive in advance so it wasn't a surprise that all went smoothly. Thoroughly recommended all round!"

"...Le Caillau is the most charming and child friendly country house. Obviously a much loved family retreat, it is elegant and expansive inside and out, all open fires, books and welcoming sofas, and pleasingly ornate bedrooms. Outside there is plenty of room to roam barefoot through the trees, with open views of the Garonne countryside and a secluded pool across the grass. Quiet and rural without being totally remote, we were all utterly enchanted with it"

"...We have now begun our slow drive home after the most fabulous holiday at Le Caillau and we wanted to thank you for all you have done to bring it all together. The house was exactly as we expected from your description and it was so ‘familiar’ in many ways, taking us both back to fond memories of childhood holidays, with endless space and ease. Michelle and Kevin were, as you had predicted, an absolute delight, managing to be hugely discrete while being wonderfully friendly. We really enjoyed getting to know them over the fortnight we were there, and they really helped make our stay at Le Caillau very memorable. It was our first time in that part of France and we loved Nerac and the area. Above all, we will remember our time at Le Caillau for the extraordinary peace and quiet, which is not easily matched elsewhere. Thank you again! "
