What our guests say
Fontalbe is a wonderful place to enjoy a holiday spending time with family and friends. There is so much to do in and around the gite, exploring its ground and the local area.
We particularly love hearing about the things our guests have enjoyed doing during your stays. They seem to love Fontalbe as much as we do. Here are some of their reviews.
Beautiful location
“Had a fabulous stay at Fontalbe with my family. Everything was spot on, from the welcome pack to the pool, comfy beds, outdoor space, even a pétanque court, it was excellent all round.
It’s in a beautiful location and you can even walk to some pretty bastide villages right from the doorstep, no car required. Would highly recommend..”

A stunning peaceful place
“Fontalbe is a stunning, peaceful place! We had an amazing family holiday, and the setting was absolutely beautiful. We loved exploring the grounds and lounging by the pool, and eating on the patio and in the bar area was a real treat. There’s plenty to do around the gite, too—great walks, pétanque, table tennis, and of course, the heated swimming pool.
A highlight was the Sunday morning market at Issigeac. Plus, an unforgettable meal at Table de Leo—definitely a must-visit. Made some truly great memories here. Highly recommend!”

Hours of fun and laughter
“A three-generation family holiday has been thoroughly enjoyed here at Fontalbe. Sitting under the wisteria Trees was a favourite spot for breakfast, reading, watercolour painting etc. the pool has been fantastic for six grandchildren who have had hours of fun and laughter, the sun loungers have been well used too. So much wildlife – demoiselles, butterflies, dragonflies, lizards, a toad plus fish and crayfish in the stream.”

Fantastic
“The accommodation was fantastic. Greg, the host was really welcoming and informative. Heated pool was great for the children and adults alike. Local restaurants recommended were good. It would be good if local restaurants and entertainment venues were in the welcome pack, although the host was happy to provide the restaurants. We researched and visited a few local entertainment sites including Lake Pombonne ( a very picturesque lake) and local chateau Bridoire providing lots of children entertainment. Altogether a super family holiday.”

Had a fantastic time
“We have had a fantastic time at Fontalbe. We walked to Beaumont, canoed at Cenac, visited Montpazier and Chateau de Biron. Lots of long lunches at the house and hours of fun in the pool. Many thanks.”

Definitely planning a return trip
“Spent a few days at Fontalbe to kick off summer, and it was amazing. The house and grounds were stunning—a perfect blend of modern interior and traditional farmhouse vibe. Had everything we needed, and the beds were super comfy. Loved cooking in the kitchen and BBQing in the bar area while listening to the river.
The heated pool was just right, even early in the summer. Explored the local bastide towns and markets, which were a blast. The only downside? Needed more time to do everything. Definitely planning a return trip.”
