An Expansive Country Home above the Vineyards
This elegant and spacious country house, perched on a hill above the Duras vineyards, sleeps up to 12 guests, making it perfectly suited to extended families or groups of friends. It's large enough to share but also has enough space for everyone to tuck themselves away from time to time – whether it's with a good book on one of the many sofas, or snoozing under a tree in the lavish grounds.
This traditional home has been given an impeccably tasteful refresh, using a soft, warm color palette with strong, clean lines, which highlights the exposed beams and beautiful stone floors of the original structure. What makes it so appealing is the little surprises, from the Acapulco chair tucked into the kids' bedroom to the mustard-colored molded dining chairs, and the works of art by local artists that hang all over the house.
The spacious grounds are perfect for spreading out in and keeping the family busy. Choose from the large, heated saltwater pool with its 12 sun beds, table tennis table, badminton court, croquet space, and formal lawns that are great for throwing a frisbee or picnicking.
This villa for rent in France has six large bedrooms. The two largest on the upper floor have king-sized beds, walk-in closets and their own bathrooms with clawfoot tubs. The other bedrooms are on the middle level; three have king-sized beds and en-suite shower rooms, while the fourth has twins and a bathroom with tub, making it ideal for children.
There is a large well-equipped, modern kitchen and a dining table that extends to sit 12 guests. The main living room, with its feature fireplace and board games, has enough space for the same number. The upstairs landing serves as an additional living room, with a TV and games console, but there are also sofas and bookcases in hidden hallway nooks that offer tempting spaces to curl up in.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Ask about catering and wine supplies, as well as airport transfers.
AROUND
There's plenty to do at this villa for rent in France, but should you decide to venture out, you'll find the Vigiers golf course only 20 minutes away by car. In addition to lovely grounds, it has an award-winning spa and two restaurants, one of which has a Michelin star.
The owners recommend a visit to one of the local brocantes or flea markets, tours of the World Heritage Sites at St Emilion or Bordeaux, a kayak trip down a local river, biking the country roads, wine tasting, a day at Arcachon and the Dune de Pyla (the highest sand dune in Europe), or pulling up a chair in a pavement cafe and watching the world go by.

The Guestbook
See what our community is saying about Joli Fleuron.
We stayed at Joli Fleuron in July with our daughter, husband and 3 young children under 3. This is our second stay, the first being pre-Covid and we were delighted to see the standards at this wonderful property are as high as ever. It is a perfect place to relax and completely safe for children including toddlers. Hugely spacious and well equipped inside, the outside is beautiful with everything you need for a holiday. With Duras with it’s shops, restaurants and markets only 5 minutes drive away, it really is a perfect spot!
We came for the birthday of my mam together the rest of the family. The house is very comfortable and relaxed, we could even use the chimney. We’ve welcomed by Frédéric and its great flower arrangements. We had a fantastic week. The pool was great, lots of space in the house. Petra, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house with us.
Very relaxing and peaceful holiday with our 2 babies in this beautiful maison de maitre ! Great pool, beautiful house, very warm welcome from Frédéric. Great farmer market in Duras…we will come back
We had a great week at Joli Fleuron. The house is huge and very comfortable. The heating was working perfectly but we couldn’t use the pool as it was too cold. Thanks Frédéric to all your attention to little details, we will definitely come back.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful house. The landscape is amazing and the area so peaceful. We came with our baby and it was just perfect and very relaxing. We loved the pool and the terrace.
We really enjoyed our week at Joli Fleuron. The house is decorated and appointed to a high standard with high quality beds, furniture and equipment so it was very comfortable. Quiet and peaceful but within very easy reach of Duras with everything you need. A great location to explore the region with many popular towns close by. Our host Frederick was very helpful and friendly and gave us ideas and suggestions as well as being easy to contact, that made our stay even better. Highly recommended host and property.
