Farmhouse with Private Pool and Fenced 1 Acre Garden

My partner and I, plus our two dogs, stayed for a month at Bel Air in August 2022. We loved every minute of it and would recommend. The house is charming, the area is splendid and we really felt right away at home. The kitchen has everything you need and there are plenty of linens. Communication with Emma and with the caretaker Andy were good leading up to and during Gascony is not typically touristy in terms of SW France but we didn't run out of things to do for the month.. Maybe a well kept secret of France! A few specifics: - the pictures do not do this place justice and should be updated asap! - the village has very little infrastructure in and of itself but it's well based in the region. You can get to all sorts of neat places within 20-40 minutes. Vineyards, shops, restaurants, etc. Car is required - the 4th bathroom wasn't really usable as already occupied by some large spiders and accessible through the garden only. I would treat this as a 1 full, two half baths - I worked for roughly 50% of the month from there and Wifi is strong enough to carry out Zoom calls, etc. It may be worth putting in an extender to get better coverage upstairs and outside. I think if trying to work from the upper floor, it may not have been as smooth

Lots of space both inside and out - very well equipped kitchen too, and the stunning views from the lovely pool are second to none. Super garden with plenty of wildlife to spot on the doorstep then in the neighbouring fields and woods. Enjoyed wonderful walks straight from the house. So many charming villages and towns to visit too including Eauze, Lupiac, Aignan all within a short car journey. Castillon Debats is a lovely village - though there is definitely more traffic on the main road than an occasional tractor going by. Found the shower in the family bathroom not great for tall-ish adults but the one in the laundry really good, and plenty of hot water. For a relaxing uncomplicated holiday, the Gers is perfect!

Nous sommes partis pour nous réunir en famille à 10 personnes. C'était conforme à nos attentes et cette impression très agréable de se retrouver sans une maison de famille. La maison vaste et la piscine avec une vue exceptionnelle nous ont tous permis de trouver chacun notre place..

Nous avons passés les 3 semaines de confinement en télétravail avec nos enfants chez Emma et Simon. Les propriétaires et Andy (qui s'occupe de la maison) se sont pliés en 4 pour ouvrir la maison en urgence et préparer notre arrivée malgré la saison (installation du wifi, mise à disposition de radiateur, lavage de la maison, remise à plat du jardin...et surtout mise en route de la piscine!). Nous avons pu télétravailler à 2 pendant que nos enfants jouaient toutes la journée dans le jardin! La maison est propice et équipe de tout ce qu'il faut pour passer d'agréables moments en famille et propice à la détente (BBQ, pingpong, baby foot, cheminé, hamac,....) La vue est sublime à différents endroits de la maison. D'un point de vuse purement pratique : la literie est confortable, la cuisine très bien équipé; seule la salle de bain est un peu petite à l'étage. En conclusion : des hôtes adorables et aux petits soins pour vous accueillir et faire en sorte que votre halte soit la plus agréable et réussie possible ! Merci encore à Andy pour sa gentillesse et tout son travail dans la maison On espère à très vite !

Other than to sleep, we spent most of our time outside, either in the shade of the spreading chestnut tree on the terrace or in the beautiful pool with stunning views of the rolling countryside towards the Pyrenees. We totally relaxed into the French pace of life, punctuated by the church bells and farmers travelling by. To the reviewer who complained about a tractor - you are in the country, what do you expect!! The beds were comfortable, although the double bed was hysterically creaky. Overall the house was charming and the kitchen was the best we have experienced in a holiday home. It had everything you could possibly need. Not all of the garden was accessible as brambles and the bamboo had taken over during the Covid shutdown when there was optimum growing weather. There was some very tantalising figs that we could not reach but there was various spots around the garden that provided a great outlook over the countryside. Our only gripe was that the walk down to the pool was steep and difficult for those of us that are less able. However, the pool was always worth the effort. Finally, great location for visits to markets, brocantes, vineyards and places of interest and pretty villages. We would stay again.

Grande et Belle maison de famille dans un cadre verdoyant, ombragé et absolument charmant. La maison est fraiche à souhait. C'est reposant pour les nuits chaudes. Une grande table devant sur la terrasse permet de prendre ses repas à l'ombre du marronnier. La piscine est en contrebas de la maison, plus sécuritaire, très bonne exposition, clôturée et offrant une vue magnifique sur la vallée et les Pyrénées au loin. Les marches pour descendre dans la piscine sont un atout pour les petits. Des transats et des parasols pour se protéger du soleil ardent. C'est comme chez soi. Chacun a trouvé sa place dans cette grande maison et nous avons apprécié ce séjour dans un endroit que nous ne connaissions pas. Armagnac. Foie gras et patrie de d'Artagnan à découvrir pour les grandes familles.
