Cute Gite with a Friendly Welcome
Located in the centre of the old village of Autignac, the La Coquillade - Gite is a quaint group of accommodations around a courtyard with central swimming / plunge pool. Parking was on street but safe and our apartment was accessed through a small door off the street and through a covered passageway that we referred to as "the cave". This was a cool spot where you could sit to avoid the extreme summer heat. Although described as a two bedroom apartment, the second "room" was only separated from the walkway by a curtain. The main room featured low swooping ceilings by virtue of being in the roof space. The small kitchen and sitting/dining area was reasonably well equipped for simple cooking, but was a little cramped for four adults.
During our stay in early June, much of southern Europe was suffering from a heat bubble making it incredibly hot (35 - 38C). The pool was a Godsend but evenings were somewhat uncomfortable with only fans for ventilation/cooling. The pool was unavailable after 9 pm so no relief could be had there.
The village had minimal facilities - a shop, a bar/restaurant and a post office within easy walking distance but was pretty in its own right and worth a walk.
Sophie the owner was friendly, helpful and generally on hand with some English spoken - Google Translate is always on hand to help out in an emergency.
