Mascarisle 

We booked this property through Booking.com. There are two things to say initially. Firstly, many people who reviewed the property mentioned the nice breakfast. When completing the internet booking the top of the booking page says, ‘Reserve your bed and breakfast stay’. Perhaps we didn’t read the information carefully enough but breakfast is not included nor are the local taxes. Breakfast and taxes for the three days we stayed came to 41 euros. However, you don’t have to have the breakfast. There is a boulangerie a few yards down the road and an enormous E Leclerc supermarket about 10 minutes’ walk away or 2 minutes by car. Secondly, the mezzanine bedroom area is a bit tight for space and headroom. If you are tall you might find this space a bit awkward. Having said this my wife and I had a lovely stay and would certainly consider going back. The lady who runs the property is delightful and couldn’t be more helpful. She had prepared a useful folder with places to eat and visit and also provided us with a map. Although compact the property is well designed and has nearly everything you need for a short stay. There is a two zone induction hob, sink, microwave, toaster, fridge and kettle. There are all the pots, pans, utensils, crockery, cutlery, etc. that you need. There is a sofa, TV and music centre. There is also a table for two people. The shower room is spacious and contains the toilet and sink. Outside there is decking, chairs, a pleasant garden and a lovely pool. The situation is ideal as it is near enough to the centre of Libourne for you to be able to easily walk there but far enough out to make it peaceful and quiet. There are electronic gates protecting the property. If we return to this area of France in the future we would certainly consider returning to this property.
