Maison du Cluzeau

Wake to birdsong, enjoy vistas of rolling hillsides with white orchard blossom in spring and sunflowers later – welcome to the Lot-et-Garonne. The living area is spacious with plenty of seating round the dining table, on sumptuous sofas or at the kitchen bar where you can chat and help whoever is cooking. You’ll also find English and French telly, DVDs, books, games and bluetooth speakers.

The lounge opens out onto the poolside terraces with a covered area for al fresco meals in the shade and a peaceful reading corner. Cool off in the pool or wander the pretty gardens to help yourselves to fruit in season or visit the potager for herbs and tomatoes for your supper. The pool has wide decking for sunbathing or an evening drink under a parasol and you’ll also find an ice machine, barbecue and pizza oven.

The owners can arrange a private chef, yoga, pilates or massage and there are horses you can say hello to or learn to ride.
