Maison Soleil is in the heart of the Dordogne countryside but close to shops and amenities. Located in a quiet village with local tabac and grocers shop and only 30 mins from St Emilion or historic Bergerac. Also close to many other delightful towns and villages, Castles and Caves. Outside, there are pleasant gardens, a large table and chairs, sunbeds and above ground splash pool plus a BBQ, boules, badminton and outdoor table tennis. Inside, watch a DVD or one of 40+ UK Freeview TV stations or listen to the radio. However, if you want something more energetic, there are 4 bikes (you are surrounded by quiet country lanes) or there is tennis or football pitch just 100mtrs away. Also try canoeing, kayaking or horse riding (all 10 mins away) or try out go-carting or even paint balling in Bergerac. There's lots to do including sampling the many Wine Chateaux of St Emilion and Bordeaux located all around the area. Alternatively, just relax in the garden with a glass of wine and a good book.

Also, to keep the children amused there is badminton, boules, four junior/adult size bicycles, darts and a 15ft circular above ground splash pool (NB only available July to September). The splash pool is only 3ft deep so usually quite warm. All around the house you will find vineyards and open fields with a number of pleasant walks with lots of wildlife and birds to spot as well as horses that like the odd carrot or two.

Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
