 thecottage 2 bedroom cottage with accommodation over two floors. Set on the side of a hill on the edge of a charming hilltop village and overlooking the vineyards sloping down to the Dordogne valley. The ancient medieval town of St. Emilion is just visible in the far distance. Situated about 45 minutes each way from Bordeaux to the west and Bergerac to the east, it provides an ideal base for those who like wine-tasting, visiting the many places of interest in the region or just lapping up the sunshine and the view from the terraces and the garden. Pujols is a very small, charming village set on a hilltop amongst vineyards overlooking the Dordogne valley. There is a boulangerie (open until 12 pm), an epicerie supplying most everyday needs and an excellent small restaurant for lunches. On the outskirts of the village is another very good restaurant. It has a classic French square shaded by trees, a tiny and very old church and part of a Henry II castle. The 100 years war (much later) was ended in nearby Castillon-la-Bataille - and the French celebrate it every year with mock battles! Castillon, 10 minutes away, has supermarkets, banks, pharmacie, restaurants and has a market one day a week. Of course, St Emilion, 20 minutes away, has many excellent restaurants. Apart from the wine tasting and vineyards, for the sporty there are tennis courts in the village a short walk from the house; canoeing and cycling nearby; and several golf courses not far away. There are golf courses to the west (about 40 minutes drive) at Teynac and Cameyrac, to the south at Langon (45 minutes)and for the expert golfers there are the Medoc courses just north of Bordeaux (50 minutes) and Chateau des Vigiers to the east near Sainte-Foy (35 minutes). |
