Book direct with Cathy

  • No middleman, no commission
  • The best rate, no mark-up

Booking platforms add a commission on top of the host’s rate. Booking here, there’s no middleman — so no mark-up.

A haven of peace in the heart of Bordeaux

Located 80 meters from Place de la Victoire and Rue Sainte-Catherine, the major shopping street of the city center, you are at the heart of Bordeaux's lively atmosphere. And as soon as you pass through the door, the house offers you the contrast of a calm and restful place: the living room and bedrooms all overlook the inner courtyard, sheltered from the noise of the city.

Welcome!

Upon your arrival, I welcome you and put at your disposal city maps and means of transport (tram, bus, boat), but also my "good addresses" and some practical tips so that you feel in Bordeaux like a local!

The morning is for gourmet treats! I suggest carefully selected products, local whenever possible, or homemade for a French-style breakfast: fresh bread,  Nanie's jams, homemade pastries, local and natural apple juice, hot drinks at your convenience. Depending on the weather, you will settle in the dining room or be able to enjoy the softness of the landscaped courtyard.

A welcoming interior

From the living room on the ground floor, you have access to the landscaped courtyard, where you can settle in during the good season to quietly enjoy a hot drink and a treat (kettle, coffee pods, tea, herbal tea, cakes, and chocolates at your disposal) or simply relax. As the interior of the house is an entirely non-smoking area, an ashtray is provided in the courtyard.

The entire house is equipped with unlimited WIFI connection.

On the first (Marceline's room) or second (Louise's room) floor, each space has, outside the room on the same landing, its private bathroom and toilet.

Comments

"Vivre à Bordeaux , et à chaque visite, découvrir des lieux insolites, apprendre leur histoire, marcher dans des quartiers anciens ou nouveaux, repérer des détails dans des façades devant lesquelles on est passé très souvent sans les voir …Notre guide sait éveiller notre curiosité et maintenir notre attention tout au long des promenades ."
