Domaine de Sengresse

Thank you so much, Michele and Rob, our caring and thoughtful hosts. We were very well looked after. Sengresse is a luxurious family home in a lovingly renovated petit chateau, stylishly decorated and extremely comfortable and relaxing. The Domaine is a lovely estate, seemingly tucked away in Les Landes countryside in Aquitaine but only a short drive to many activities and attractions, when we wanted to explore. We also enjoyed the local old French villages, full of character almost from a bygone age. The grounds are great for walks and include a swimming pool in the delightful garden. We discovered that Michele was invited to be a member of the Collège Culiniere de France this year, a well deserved honour from our own experience. A further bonus was the most comfortable bed on our entire holiday. Both are seemingly very involved in and committed to the local community, and were really helpful with local knowledge and the wide range of possibilities to enjoy in the area. Very highly recommended.

We spent a week spoilt by Michele and Rob in their old and beautifully furnished home. The house is situated in about 7 acres of stunning garden offering the opportunity to picnic every evening in secluded spots with strategically placed rusticated tables and benches. Daily routines - a few like a very short trip to Mugron and the Carrefour supermarket, and the local shops to buy wines and cheeses - or deciding if it day by the pool is preferred to the lovely beach ar L'Homy - 40 minutes by and easy to drive along quiet roads. Our hosts were brilliant and could not have been more helpful. They deserve their obvious success and we look forward to visiting Michele, Sasha and Rob again very soon - Barbara and Stephen.

Thank you, Rob and Michelle, for giving people the opportunity to spend time in your wonderful idyllic chateau. I arrived tired and left refreshed, i ate like a king but probably drank a little too much! Your eye for detail is everywhere, from the elegance of the decor in every room to the layout of the grounds. Rob, a big thank you for the 'secret' recipe to your salad dressing.. Mine isn't as good as yours but my family have said its way better than anything we've had before. Thank you, I can't recommend Sengresse highly enough - it's fabulous.

I have never visited such a pleasent place in France before. The hospitality is tremendiously good. One feel like being a member of the family. Sengresse is located in very quiet surroundings, so the place is a perfect place to stress off. Surrounded by mais and kiwi fields, one can´t get closer to nature really. Even being in a relatively remote area, one is still close to bigger cities, Mont-de-Marsan and Dax, the sea and Spain is not far away. I can highly recommend a recreation/holiday in these nice sourroundings, not to mention the accommodation, in beautifully renovated rooms with private bath and toilets. There is also the possibility to rent your 'own' house 'La petite Maison', having the swimming pool just outside. There is nothing the hosts won´t do for you, they are very helpful kind. One can even borrow their bbq grill, using the beautiful scenary as ones dining room, cooking ones evening meals. Worth a visit!

Fabulous warm welcome, homely and friendly yet privacy also respected. Best night's sleep I have had for ages- super comfortable bed following a delicious meal of local cuisine. Great personalities as hosts with endless local knowledge to help plan great things to do- whatever the weather. Beautifully charicturful house with many gems of past times to enjoy mulling over. Lovely gardens to stroll around and great pool to while away hours in hot weather.

This is an absolute gem! Sengresse is a stunningly beautiful property that, from the moment you drive up the poplar lined avenue, ensures that any stress or strain will melt away! The main house is elegantly furnished and decorated, with a wonderfully welcoming feel to it. We were in the ‘Little House', which is set across the courtyard and provides a real home from home with self-catering facilities, should you need them. We didn't as the food is absolutely excellent! This can be a problem for us as, being one vegetarian and one carnivore, it is sometimes difficult to please us both, but Michele surpassed our expectations by a long way! Indeed, this leads me on to the point that really sets Sengresse apart and that is the owners who are not only warm and friendly, but incredibly willing to ensure that your stay is everything you might expect and more. You are made to feel very special and that is a real gift! We cannot recommend Sengresse highly enough!

Une maison pleine de charme, de calme et de gentillesse. Merci Michele et Rob de votre accueil si chaleureux. Tout est parfait chez vous.

Michèle et Rob nous ont accueilli avec une grande gentillesse. La maison du xviie s est magnifiquement refaite en conservant l'esprit de cette belle demeure. De magnifiques tableaux, une collection de vaisselle splendide, les chambres sont très confortables. La literie... Aussi bien que dans un palace. Le lieu est calme, reposant, notre petit de 2 ans s'est régalé à courir dans le parc. Le petit dej avec les confitures maison, le gâteau maison et un grand choix de thé, un café excellent... Pain et croisants frais... Une table d'hôtes servie dans une salle enchantée ! La mousse au chocolat, comme je n'en ai jamais mangé ! Nous avons adorés ce lieu. Chaque pièce mérite d'être visitée. Préférez la chambre nommée 'grise' pour sa salle de bain ou la 'buanderie' pour son confort : le tapis vaut le détour, ainsi que les poutres apparentes !

Nous tenions a remercier Michele et Robert pour leur accueil si chalereux, leur gentillesse, leur prevenance. Nous avons passe une nuit dans un cadre a l'image de leur proprietaires, luxe, calme et volupte. A tres bientot.

Ein wunderschoenes Landhaus mit einem grossen Garten. Liebevoll eingerichtete Zimmer und eine sehr persoenliche Atmosphaere. Zum Fruehstueck werden frische Fruechte aus dem Garten und selbstgemachte Marmelade gereicht. Ein entspannter, sehr schoener Aufenthalt.
