Thank you so much Paul to welcome us at La Balie for an amazing week-end with my friends and the sunshine 🙂. Thank you for your kindness and your availibility. La Balie is a magic place. This is the third time we’ve been here and it’s always a pleasure. We’ve always been happy with services and the hospitality. Everything is very clean and there is nothing missing for us to be well.

Thank you so much Paul to welcome us at La Balie

What a fantastic place! We arrived as a large group of friends, and everything on offer surpassed expectations. 3 individual properties with plenty of space situated around a courtyard. All bedrooms en-suite and kitchens big enough for cooking, with a lounge in each property to relax. Outside you could put multiple tables together for a group meal in the evening under the stars. The pool area is fantastic, with views across the fields. Additionally the yoga studio is huge and a great area for functions or other large events inside. Only a short drive of 10 mins to the nearest town.

What a fantastic place!

What a wonderful week my husband and I had at La Balie. We stayed in Le Pigeonnier cottage which was just beautiful. Bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and spacious. Everything has been finished to such a high standard both inside the cottages and throughout the grounds. The estate sits in the most peaceful and tranquil area with delightful views from every angle. The pool is fabulous surrounded by flowerbeds and fields. There are numerous beautiful medieval towns and villages to visit and wonderful markets with fresh produce . The country roads lend themselves to peaceful cycling .

What an amazing place. The setting is stunning. The hosts are wonderful and so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. 17 yoga ladies on the most perfect location you could ask for. From the accommodation to the equipment and the cats are the best. The food prepared by Danne was amazing quality with the most beautiful personality. A real treat. Also fab place for anyone looking for a venue for a special occasion.

What an amazing place

I stayed at La Balie as part of a yoga retreat in late September. The setting was perfect: quiet, relaxed and comfortable. The gardens and pool are immaculate. Clean and stylish  accommodation and a wonderful studio for yoga. Our group were lucky to have a wonderful chef, Danne, who created varied and nutritious vegan meals. It was a total joy to stay at this special place. Short excursions to local sites including Monflancon and Villereal were fun and easy as there were no crowds and virtually zero traffic - and it’s less than an hour from the airport at Bergerac. I’ll definitely return!
