Cottage in beautiful restored farmhouse, countryside. Pool, kitchen pro...

Hugues and Babette offered us a beautiful experience that we will never forget. Their children and grandchildren were staying with them and just made our experience even more special. Our house was as described, impeccably clean and had everything we needed. Even if there was something missing they did their upmost to provide it for us. We loved the area heading off each day to visit a new town either for coffee, provisions or sightseeing. This area is made so special because the tourists are few and the genuine French countryside is yours to experience and enjoy. It is stunning ! Thank you Hugues and Babette…we arrived as guests and left as friends xx

If you’re looking for good accommodation in a quiet location and a lovely landscape setting, this place is for you. We stayed for two weeks in late-September and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with very friendly but discreet hosts.

An absolute gem amidst beautiful countryside. Hugues and Babeth are wonderful hosts and made us so welcome, they also saved the day when our flight was cancelled and we needed to extend our stay. We are looking forward to a return visit!

Cadre idyllique pour se ressourcer et se reposer. La propriété est équipée de tout ce qu'il faut pour se ressourcer et déconnecter. La décoration et les aménagements sont realisés avec un très bon goût. Tout est pratique et fonctionnel autant que charmant. Bref pour un séjour au vert, je commande sans modération. Les hôtes sont charmants.

Nous avons passé 2 bonnes semaines avec en prime un temps excellent et chaud pour un mois de Septembre. La région regorge de nombreuses ressources pour tous les goûts ( visites, architectures, gastronomie, etc..) La maison est bien située au calme. La piscine est appréciable par ces temps caniculaires ! Merci aux propriétaires pour leur accueil, leur gentillesse et leurs bons conseils pour découvrir les richesses de la région .

We spent close to a week in this charming gîte and loved every minute of our stay. It is deep in the Gers countryside yet a convenient and very enjoyable drive to all of the highlights of the region. From the large metropolis of Auch to the tiny ancient village of La Romieu, every major site is conveniently located. After a long day of visiting these charming towns, and enjoying the wonderful local cuisine, it is a delight to return to this tranquil restored farmhouse. The gîte is very comfortably appointed, with two spacious bedrooms, a dining area, large living room, bar, and professional kitchen. In addition there are lovely outdoor decks to enjoy a light dinner of locally-sourced foie gras, poulet, saucisson, cheeses, and wines. Hughes and Babeth are wonderfully gracious hosts who made us feel very welcome. We have traveled a lot in France, for over 50 years, but we have rarely (if ever) enjoyed a region or a local rental as much as we did at l'Encenat. We recommend it very highly, and we also look forward to our next visit to this wonderful and calm region of France.
