Our grounds and the region

Full garden view

The location

 

We are located half way between the pretty Bastide villages of Issigeac and Eymet along the beautiful Dropt valley. We are at the end of a long pine tree-lined drive. 

Amenities

 

The nearest town with boulangerie, supermarket and petrol station is Castillonnès. It is a 10 minute drive from the gîte.

 

We provide a full information guide in the property.

 

The grounds and pool

The gîte is located within the grounds of our Art-Deco house overlooking the river Dropt valley. The gîte is within an enormous old dairy barn, giving covered private parking. The terrace opens out across the swimming pool and far-reaching views. 

 

The infinity swimming pool is private to you. Its has a beautiful paved sun deck with loungers, umbrellas and a pretty gazebo with table and chairs. The pool is 15m x 6m with an infinity view across the valley.

 

We are blessed with spectacular, south-facing views and sunsets. We have 200 year old cedars-of-Lebanon trees. We have a small orchard and when ripe you can pick the fruit.

We have a second barn that used to be a prune drying space. It now includes ping-pong, table football and boules. 

 

We live in the main property and have 33 acres of private grounds giving a perfect sense of tranquility. We are on-hand to give you plenty of advice on activities and restaurants.

 

We have a sizeable koi carp pond that is viewable to our guests.
