After many years of hopping around various French properties and locations for our vacations,  we found Mazerac. We've never previously returned to a property. This year was our third family visit and, if events allow, we will return again. It's beautifully situated in quiet, peaceful countryside with an amazing view from the front of the house that we never tire of. Nearby Puylaroque has all of the amenities you need, including a fantastic boulangerie with excellent espresso for those early morning breakfast runs. The house is welcoming and relaxed, offering everything you'd need for a contented holiday.  Bedrooms are comfortable and well-appointed, and downstairs is an open plan area of kitchen, dining room, inglenook and reading snug that leads into a covered patio area where we ate the vast majority of our meals.   The kitchen, in conjunction with the utility room, sequestered in a separate room across from the house, has every amenity you could wish for, including a very efficient fridge and freezer (the joys of cold beer and sauvignon blanc!). There are numerous games, books, toys, bicycles and other distractions to be enjoyed should you find yourself in need, although we find that the fantastic pool was all we required. It's salt water, luscious and a luxurious way to pass the time.  I could ramble on, but I won't. Is Mazerac worth renting for your holiday?. Unequivocally yes, but just try not to book it when we want to go.....
