The Experience

This charming 19th-century farmhouse is set outside a hamlet in the Gers countryside and has a peaceful home-from-home feel and 360-degree views over the undulating countryside. Graeme and Kirsty live in a small cottage on the other side of a large hedge with a separate drive and are available if needed, but otherwise will leave you in peace.

One of the bedrooms (and a bathroom) is downstairs and a further three are upstairs. The well-equipped kitchen has a table and chairs for eight, and French windows leading out onto a sheltered south-facing terrace with shade sail and fully-equipped outdoor kitchen – barbecues out here will be sublime.

The gardens are the real wow factor and Graeme’s pride and joy, with large lawns and plenty of seating areas, some right outside the house or next to the heated saltwater pool.

Reviews

Guests will be assured of a warm welcome in this homely, well-furnished Gascon farmhouse with comfortable bedrooms. A thoroughly relaxing place with an exceptionally lovely garden with fabulous views. You won't want to leave! Or when you do, you will be chilled and reposed.

John, Nantwich

A Puntos is a beautiful house in a truly lovely part of France. Well appointed with comfortable beds and good showers. The kitchen and outdoor kitchen are very well equipped with the outdoor kitchen providing welcome shade. The pool is large and was well used during a hot week. Have to mention Kirstie and Graeme, great hosts who made us really welcome. Their two dogs are delightful. All in all we had a great time. Thank you.


Sarah, Leeds

Puntos is a beautiful house in a wonderfully peaceful rural setting, with incredible views across the countryside to the Pyrénées. Thoughtfully designed to retain its original charm while offering every modern comfort, it is exceptionally well equipped, particularly the kitchen and outdoor kitchen. The shaded outdoor spaces and spectacular pool make the most of the setting. Graeme and Kirsty are wonderful hosts, providing helpful information and being very responsive throughout. We loved the daily visits from their friendly dogs, Murphy and Finlay.


Andy, Southhampton

Superb break at A Puntos! House was better than in the pictures and really everything was thought of. Perfectly clean and organised, all the important things for a villa holiday were present including games for the young (and old) kids, pool inflatables, multiple places to cool beer an outdoor kitchen.I could go on. We were 6 adults and a 5 month old baby and were extremely comfortable, even in the extreme heat thanks to the aircon in bedroom upstairs and the cool rooms of the original building. Loved the stunning scenery, sleepy villages and tranquility of the place. Will go back for sure!


Katherine, Dubai

We had a wonderful multi-generational holiday at Puntos. The house is beautifully equipped and the huge garden, spectacular pool and excellent kitchen made it incredibly easy to relax and spend time together. We particularly appreciated the proper coffee machine and great selection of outdoor games. Graeme and Kirsty were exceptional hosts, helping with recommendations and going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Puntos is a very special place — we really didn’t want to leave. We would love to return and would recommend it without hesitation to families and friends.


Location

The neighbourhood

This is a very rural spot and the house stands alone off a small lane apart from Kirsty and Graeme's cottage next door. Restaurants are about a 15 to 30-minute drive, and the local farmer's market (Saturday mornings) is a 10-minute walk. There are endless opportunities for wonderful walks and cycles in the mountains, pretty villages to explore and markets for buying local produce.

Local points of interest from Graeme Fletcher

  • There three airports within 1.5hrs drive of A Puntos: Lourdes-Tarbes (50 minutes), Pau (75 minutes) and Toulouse (90 minutes).
  • There is a market every day in the Gers and the local markets of Trie Sur Bias and Mirande are especially close. Wander through the bustling markets and fill your shopping basket with fresh local products.
  • The Pyrenees mountains are only an hour away and you can hiking, canyoning, cycling, white water rafting, skiing or even visit one of the spas. Balnea being our personal favourite.
  • At the nearby lake of Castlenau Magnoac, you can hire kayaks, stand up paddles or simply just relax on the white sandy beach. There is also an inflatable assault course.
  • There is a reasonable golf course within 20 minutes of the house with a very nice restaurant.
  • You will need to drive but there are plenty of restaurants in the area to meet all your culinary needs. From the high end Sandikala French fusion restaurant to a local wood fired pizza joint that does takeaway, there is something for everyone.

Introducing

Graeme Fletcher

Graeme and Kirsty are originally from Glasgow and live in the small cottage next door with Murphy the bearded collie in the holiday season. Graeme loves gardening and is a consultant for a digital marketing company in Scotland; Kirsty is a senior director for an NGO. She often travels so Graeme is the contact for guests and waters the garden and cleans the pool early in the morning.
