About this property

Stunning ancient stone cottage with private pool, set in panoramic lake location

Congratulations, you have clicked onto a terrific hidden gem located in the southern France Lot et Garonne region, well done!!

If you are looking for a beautiful secluded romantic location, situated high up on a set of endless ridges in the Lot and Garonne district with spectacular views including over a lake, a fabulous secluded 10 x 5m pool (for your use only), adjacent to a beautiful ancient stone cottage with many authentic features and presented in tip top condition given its age, then you’re prayers have been answered. I feel totally confident in saying that you will not be disappointed.  It is not called Gite Quietude for nothing; this is calm and tranquility at its best situated on a quiet but working farm with only three other habited properties.

If you are seeking 5 star modern accommodation, party lifestyle and general mayhem please look elsewhere; it goes without saying however that well behaved children and pets are welcome!!
The property features 2 double and 1 triple bedrooms (latter ideal for kids), so sleeps 7 max in main gite. There is also a separate rustic art studio that can sleep 2 (ideal for teenagers etc). There is a games room with pool table, table tennis, table football and there is a badminton court in the garden. Plus there are 5 bikes available to the guests. There are 3 terraces, two facing the pool and one has its own hot water shower, the other is at the front of the house where the BBQ is and is great for morning sun and to take a break from the heat. The lake is lovely for picnics and has big fish (carp), it is not part of the gite property.

Facilities are available 5 mins drive in Levignac-de-Guyenne; shop, bakery etc, another 5 minutes and you can be in Duras with its ancient fort and more extensive facilities. Large towns such as Marmande and Miramont le Guyenne are less than 15 minutes drive; both have supermarkets and a wide variety of retail therapy.

For 2021 there are  new additions; 1) An updated kitchen with new beech worktops 2) A separate dining room off the kitchen / lounge that allows access through to the main gite. Please refer to site plan and floor plan to understand the layouts.

Parfait pour se reposer
Ce gite au milieu des champs est parfait pour se reposer et prendre du temps pour soi. Très bien équipé, une vue magnifique sur la campagne et une piscine agréable. Cet ancien corps de ferme est rénové avec goût et propose même une salle de jeux avec billard d'un grand jardin et d une poolhouse. Nous avons pu nous reposer pendant deux semaines et découvrir les bastides et apprécier les marchés nocturnes Merci

About the host

Hosted by Yuri Tempest-Woods

Host profile image
Hi I am a Chartered engineer living in Farnham Surrey. I also live quite a bit in France as I am 1/4 French although much to my mothers' disgust failed the O level! lol

I also do some property development and have done quite a bit on the gite in last 2 years including: new pergola terrace, doorway to terrace, front entrance white gravel, artist studio, garaging, new mezzanine in barn and ensuite set amongst beams and insulated by hempcrete, new downstairs shower room

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with it on site and so will you (I hope lol). I have not found a nicer more rustic place in such a setting, so many rustic features, views are to die for and there is a lake (with carp) where I have fishing permission although you will need a permit if u want to be totally legal!
If you looking for 5 star this is not it! If you want character in a wonderful environment and private pool this is it!
Note; this is an old property with old features and rustic building effects; it is impossible to remove all spiders / webs etc; bear this in mind when booking!

What makes this property unique

Private 10m x 5m pool with jacuzzi over steps, lake, character stone building with features including colombarge walls, stone sinks, 3 terraces (rear bbq, pergola terrace and pool terrace). Stunning views. Games room with pool table etc. 3 tvs with uk free to view satellite, use of computer / wifi, stunning mezzanine and roll bath ensuite both with star views (there will be a rush to bagsy this room), fig, banana, cherry etc trees, swing, endless extras.
13 mins to Duras, 20 to Eymet, list goes on! Local friendly bar in Levignac (Bistro Marie) (7 mins)
