The small bastide town of Duras with its château, restaurants, cafés and bars is a short drive, and Eymet with its many restaurants, cafés and bars is also a short drive. There are 7 bedrooms in total which can accommodate up to 14 people and is ideal for larger multi-generation families. The main house has 3 bedrooms, the downstairs wing has 2 bedrooms and the separate cottage, which is great for grandparents or those wishing more privacy, has another 2 bedrooms.
It is well located in easy reach of the many tourist attractions. Here you will find peace and tranquility with time to unwind and relax, time to enjoy precious family time.

I would give Bechade 5 out of 5 for everything! Cleanliness, directions, facilities!
The welcome package was a lovely touch!
Thanks again...Penny B
