Açıklama İngilizceSurrounded by the glorious landscapes of Gascony and with everything you could wish for in a holiday home, historic Maison des Pelerins is all about enjoying the slow pace of life that this captivating region is so famous for.

The history of this former farmhouse is fascinating – still referred to as ‘the monastery’ by locals, it was once thought to be a place for pilgrims to sleep on their way to Santiago de Compostela. Some original features from this period remain even though it was transformed into a farmhouse in the seventeenth century. Nowadays, it’s an exceptional holiday home which has been renovated and restored in the most beautiful way.

The heart of the home is no doubt the spacious kitchen-diner, brilliantly equipped with two dishwashers, an Aga, American fridge-freezer as well as its smart kitchen island and even a snug with sofas and Smart TV with Sky TV. The living spaces are also superb such as the elegant sitting room and fireplace, the charming dining area with its wood-beamed ceiling or the library with doors leading out to the courtyard.

Upstairs, find five beautiful bedrooms, each one with its own personality and en suite bathroom. Outside in the courtyard is an annexe leading to a large sixth en suite bedroom with a Superking bed and its own lounge area as well as the seventh bedroom in an enchanting pigeonnier with a romantic king size bedroom and pretty downstairs bathroom.
Opposite, the games room annexe is a spacious area for playing pool or table tennis whilst outside the tennis court is perfect for the most active of guests. A large swimming pool, boules set as well as a Sonos music system are some of the features that make this maison such a fantastic place to stay.

Enjoy your morning coffee and pastries looking out towards the Gascony countryside, whilst the courtyard is one of the lovely spots you can choose for al-fresco meals with family and friends. When in season, pick apples, pears, plums and figs from the orchard or find a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the mesmerising sunset in the evening.

It’s a 10-minute drive to the nearest boulangerie, shop and restaurant or head a little further to the historic and characterful market towns of Fleurance and Lectoure. The three well-known French ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, Larressingle, Fourcès and Montréal, are also nearby for wonderful days out or head to Auch, the capital of Gascony, to be inspired by its cathedral and historic setting.

As you walk, cycle or simply drive through the stunning scenery of this alluring region, you will no doubt be following the footsteps of Comte d'Artagnan, always enjoying Gascony’s exceptional cuisine and admiring its extraordinary beauty.
