About this property

Charming farmhouse with private pool in secluded location.

“Girou” is a lovely stone farmhouse with pool in a calm, secluded and peaceful setting surrounded by plum orchards, making it an ideal holiday home for families with children or a group of adults. Check-in/check-out for 2022 bookings is on Saturdays (Fridays for 2023 bookings) and the minimum stay is 7 days.

The house has been completely renovated yet retains its character with original beams and tiled floors. It is a 'home from home' with everything you will need for a comfortable stay.

The 206 m2 (2,217 sq. ft) interior accommodation comprises 3 public rooms, 4 bedrooms (two with en suite), dining kitchen, two additional bath/ shower rooms, and a utility room.

The exterior plot of 8,000 m2 includes two large equipped terraces (one covered) at either end of the house which are perfect for relaxing and unwinding whilst sampling the local food and wines.

There is also a 10m x 5m private swimming pool which is open from May to September. The pool is 2 metres deep at the deep end and 1 metre deep at the shallow end. It is surrounded by a tasteful and robust wrought iron fence for optimum safety and bordered on two sides by an attractive hedge. The remainder of the plot comprises lawns and a plum orchard.

The farmhouse is located on the edge of the village of Monteton, 5 minutes from Allemans du Dropt with its shops and restaurants. The Bastide town of Eymet is 14km with Duras, Lauzun and several other picturesque towns and villages within a similar radius. The popular tourist town of Bergerac is 40km and Bordeaux, voted by Lonely Planet as the best city in France to travel to, is only 100km. The house is ideally situated for exploring the beautiful Dordogne and Lot et Garonne “departements” and the wider Aquitaine region.

Activities within easy reach include:

o Sampling the produce at one of the many local day and night markets.
o Eating in one of the excellent local restaurants (with prices to suit all budgets).
o Exploring the numerous walking, hiking and cycling routes.
o River and lake fishing.
o Kayaking and canoeing on the Dordogne and Dropt rivers.
o Playing golf at one of several nearby courses.
o Tennis.
o Horse riding.
o The Walibi theme park near Agen.
o Wine tasting.
o Visiting chateaux.
o Day trip to the caves and grottos of the Dordogne valley.

Beautiful House in a beautiful location
We stayed here in August and it was just perfect! The location,the house absolutely everything. The owners were extremely helpful from check in right until we checked out. The house was spotless and impeccably presented. The surrounding area was idyllic and we will definitely be coming back. I cannot recommend this property enough

Fabulous house in lovely peaceful location
A perfect holiday house for 9 people in a beautiful and quiet location. The house is spacious and well equipped. The pool and outside seating areas were brilliant, especially the covered area at one end of the property. The best place to sit, enjoying a meal while watching the sunset. Very attentive hosts and housekeeper who were always on hand if needed. The local village Monteton has an evening market in a Tuesday which was great fun with lots of delicious food and wine on offer. We had a wonderful holiday here and wouldn’t hesitate in going back. .

We stayed for a week as an extended family (grandparents, parents and 2 children age 11 and 6) in July 2024 and just didn't want to leave! Amazingly well equipped, wonderful, peaceful location, beautiful renovation and grounds. Utterly faultless and would love to return!

Everything you could wish for and more
Girou is a very special place and is highly deserving of its top reviews. It is in a beautifully tranquil location, yet close to amenities. The house was extremely clean and very well equipped - especially the kitchen. We particularly loved that there were so many eating spaces, such that you could eat outside at all times and enjoy or avoid the sun to suit needs. The lovely housekeeper was very responsive to any questions we had. We unreservedly recommend this farmhouse and hope to visit again.

Relaxing rural French stay
Lovely two week stay in this large rural property, large enough for two families with teens to stay and have plenty of space. All mod cons and everything we needed for a relaxing stay, especially the pool n large covered veranda area, to enjoy the sunshine and shade equally. Beds n bedding very comfortable. So many beautiful villages n towns to visit in area, day and night markets. We all thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our stay.

Just Fabulous
Having just returned from two wonderful weeks Girou, all I can say is wow. Not only is the location very beautiful and peaceful, but the Villa had absolutely everything a family of 5 could ask for (including good internet for the kids). Its very well equipped and truly a home from home and Neils communications from start to finish were excellent. The world is a very big place and there are many places to see, but we will certainly return here in the future.

Stop looking ! Book this property now!
We’re just back from two fantastic weeks and I can’t say enough good things about the house, location and our holiday. Arrangements were perfect, Neil gave clear instructions, and the drive from the airport was stress free because we knew exactly where we were going. House was ideal for our three teenage boys- they loved the pool. We loved sitting in the covered area and enjoying the fantastic view. A perfect base for day trips, five minutes to the local village for breads each morning, and a totally relaxing holiday. I would go back tomorrow.

A Fantastic Place to Stay
This was supposed to be a full family and extended family trip to celebrate my 60th. After much searching we settled on Moneton.. From the start the comms were excellent. Unfortunately I was unable to travel and spent my birthday being operated on so I gave Neil my son’s details and he took the lead for the now group of 5. He reports it was a beautiful old farm house with so much charm and character. The weather was unbelievable so they spent a great deal of time in the large pool with regular morning walks to the bakers and their incredible pastries. The words of my fussy 16 yr old! They had a few meals out at the recommended restaurants and again all enjoyed it, plus of course they used the BBQ. But maybe not as much as I had been there to do it! Overall they enjoyed the place so much they are trying to get me to book it for next year. I am seriously considering it but maybe when I am out of the neurosurgery hospital!,Thanks Neil sorry I didn’t get there

Beautiful property in a wonderful area
We spent 7 days enjoying glorious weather, great food and pretty local villages and markets. The interior and exterior were even prettier than the photos suggested and the property had everything we could want. Neil and Jane automatically provided plenty of information in advance which meant everything went smoothly. We were disappointed to find the restaurant in Monteton closed during our stay but really enjoyed a 4 course lunch in nearby Allemans sur Dropt for around €29. We would definitely recommend, and although we didn’t have any little ones with us, it would be a lovely place for young families.
