The Experience
There are vast views over the vineyards, rolling hills and woodland from both the lodge, a former ‘chai’ (winery), and the cottage. Both have calming, simple interiors in wood and stone with natural paints and organic cotton sheets. Rainwater is harvested and solar panels are on the way. Kitchens are very well equipped, showers are neat-as-a-pin and crystal glasses are provided for tasting the delicious organic and biodynamic wines produced on the estate.
It’s a short walk to Saussignac for a community café and a superb restaurant – collect fresh bread and croissants from Le Fournil de Gardonne, 4km. Enjoy a one hour morning yoga class, cycle along the Grande Randonnée, stroll through the woods and vineyards or enrol on a course and let the owners immerse you in the intricate world of growing, creating and understanding their wine production.
Light the barbecue and settle outdoors on comfy deckchairs to admire the stupendous views, sleep soundly in the peace.

Location
The neighbourhood
Walking and cycling will be sublime in this gentle, peaceful countryside. Saussignac is less than 1km away, Gardonne (4km) has the bakery, shops and a few places to eat including a pizzeria, and Sainte-Foy-la-Grande (11km) has a fabulous farmers' market on Saturday mornings – pick up some local food. The bigger town of Bergerac (18km) is bustling with beauty.
Local points of interest from Caro & Seán Feely
- Read Caro's books - 5 published including the latest Cultivating Change in the hamac under the cool shade of the trees in the park (both houses have also have a small library of great holiday reads)
- Walk to saussignac for lunch enjoying the views, smells and life of our charming local village
- Breakfast on the balcony or terrace taking in the stunning views of the organic vineyards and dreaming about what you are going to do today. Bird watching and deer-spotting are excellent particularly at dawn and dusk
- Drink the wine from the vineyard you're looking at: taste, see, smell and feel the terroir of this magical organic and biodynamic farm
- Walk to Melange restaurant in Saussignac for a delicious dinner then have a romantic moonlit walk home
- Stargaze with the naked eye or take your passion further with the telescope available in the tasting room. Being rural means little light pollution and a fabulous starry dome in the heavens

Introducing
Caro & Seán Feely
Enthusiastic and smiley Caro and Seán (originally from South Africa, and with Irish roots) live here with their dog called Dora and two cats. They bought the vineyard in 2005 to follow their dream of creating great wines on fine terroir, and Caro, who does the meet and greet, has written five books on their experiences. She's happy to ferry guests to and from the station in Gardonne.
A perfect place to immerse yourself in the world of biodynamic wines.
