Gite Gardes

Gite Gardes is a recently renovated 3 bedroom stone barn with private heated pool set in 3 hectares with beautiful views across the valley to the medieval bastide village of Monflanquin (classified as l'un des plus beaux villages de France). A rural location but within easy access to local shops and services, this is the Ideal holiday base for families or a group of friends to explore the Dordogne, Lot, Garonne and Tarn valleys whatever the time of year.

The accommodation is all on one level and includes 2 king size bedrooms with shared en-suite walk-in (roll-in) shower room and one twin bedroom with wash basin. A double sofa bed is also available for additional guests. The separate family bathroom includes roll top bath with stunning views across the valley to Monflanquin. There is also an additional shower room.

Relax in the spacious and light open plan living area which comfortably accommodates up to 8 people, with sofas and an eight seater dining table. Facilities include UK and French HD TV, Bluray/DVD player, free WIFI access and ipod docking station and CD player.

The living area flows into the spacious and well equipped modern kitchen, with its own breakfast table. Facilities include cooker, microwave, kettle, toaster, coffee maker, dishwasher, washing machine and iron and ironing board.

Large patio doors lead out from the kitchen onto the private and secluded outdoor dining terrace and barbecue area set in a walled garden with ancient bread ovens. The stunning views across the wooded valley make this a wonderful space for relaxing with family and friends.

Three charming stone archways lead out to the private south facing sunbathing area with private heated pool (heated May to October) and games room. There is also a swing set for younger children as well as a badminton net and table football.

The games room also provides secure, lockable and dry storage for bicycles.

Wheelchair access: There is a small step to enter the property, but a ramp suitable for wheelchairs (including motorised) is provided. Inside, the gite is all on one level and the two king size rooms have 80 cm door access and plenty of free space around the beds. These bedrooms share a roll-in shower room (space in the shower area is 100cm x 120cm) and there is a raised toilet. We can provide a plastic seat for the shower if it is appropriate for you.

From the kitchen you can get to the outdoor terrace on one level and through to the pool area. The pool has steps down into the water.

The owners live on site in a separate building, but guests are welcome to explore the nine acres of land which is a mix of woodland, prairie and more formal gardens, for peaceful walks and wildlife spotting.
