Maison De La Felicite

About this property

Maison de la Félicité is a beautifully restored Bordelais home in the heart of Savignac-de-l’Isle, a small Gironde village surrounded by Bordeaux vineyards. Step inside and discover a space where elegant character meets thoughtful design, from the soft-toned interiors to the polished finishes throughout.

Inside, the house has been styled to a high standard. A contemporary farmhouse kitchen, complete with central island and French doors, sits beside inviting living areas designed for comfort. Sink into the soft embrace of the main lounge, curl up in the separate TV room or gather over long, slow lunches that drift into evening beneath the shade of the covered terrace beside the swimming pool.

Upstairs, four well-appointed air-conditioned bedrooms sleep up to 8 guests with three doubles and one twin bedroom. One features an en suite alongside two family bath/shower rooms, ensuring space for all.

Outside, the garden and swimming pool are incredibly charming. Enjoy coffee and croissants on the breakfast table as the garden comes to life, then retreat to the poolside loungers with a good book in hand. Gather for long lunches by the pizza oven on the shaded terrace, then cook up a feast for evening al-fresco meals accompanied by good local wine – the outdoor dining and lounge area is atmospherically lit up at night.

The village itself offers fresh croissants each morning, a local bar-tabac and a tennis court. Within a five-minute drive, Galgon and Saint-Denis-de-Pile offer a good range of amenities (and a train station), while the riverside town of Libourne brings vibrant markets, excellent restaurants and leisurely boat trips on the Dordogne.

And then there’s the wine. Saint-Émilion, just 20 minutes by car, offers a spectacular immersion into one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions, its cobbled lanes and medieval architecture steeped in heritage. Bordeaux, a 45-minute drive or train ride away, dazzles with its culture, cuisine and charisma. Don’t forget the neighbouring wine appellations of Pomerol and Fronsac as well. Both have wonderful wine and chateaux to explore.

Maison de la Félicité invites you to experience the best of Gironde and its world-famous wine in both comfort and style.

Located in the heart of Savignac-de-l’Isle, a small Gironde village surrounded by Bordeaux vineyards, Maison de la Félicité offers a superb base for exploring south-west France’s wine country, close to both Saint-Émilion (18km) and the city of Bordeaux (43km). The village itself exudes rural charm, with its tennis court, local bar-tabac and the daily delight of fresh croissants just a short stroll from your door.

Just a five-minute drive brings you to nearby Galgon (3km) or Saint-Denis-de-Pile (4.5km), both offering useful amenities such as bakeries, supermarkets, restaurants and local cafés. For broader services and a touch more buzz, the riverside town of Libourne (16km) awaits. Set beside the Dordogne, Libourne is renowned for its vibrant market, excellent restaurants and even leisurely boat trips along the river, making it a wonderful place to spend the day.

The wider region is, of course, a wine-lover’s dream. The surrounding landscape is dotted with vineyards, offering ample opportunity for tastings and château visits. Most notable is the unesco-listed town of Saint-Émilion (18km) – a spectacular destination famous not only for its prestigious wines but also for its medieval lanes, monolithic church and panoramic views over the vine-covered hills.

For a day of city culture, make time to visit Bordeaux (43km), one of France’s most elegant cities. Whether you drive or hop on a direct train, you’ll be rewarded with stunning classical architecture, world-class museums and a buzzing culinary scene. It’s a city that effortlessly blends heritage with modernity, and a true highlight of the region.

With village life on your doorstep and world-famous wine towns just a short drive away, Maison de la Félicité places you in the perfect spot to enjoy good wine, food and culture in southwestern France.
