Your charming, artistic hosts spent years resuscitating the elegant 200-year-old Gascon house, doing it all themselves, with love and taste. Gorgeous floors and fireplaces have been preserved, subtle personal touches added and the result is utterly relaxing. Antony is a keen vegetarian cook, a sculptor and a musician; Camilla went from theatre design to interior design. But it’s more than personality. Bedrooms have big new beds, armchairs, paintings and new walk-in showers, communal rooms have a myriad of beautiful things. Outside are quiet places, a pool and boules, croquet, badminton and ping-pong, and lovely Gascony to explore.
On arrival at Lexis after a somewhat tiring journey, with our two young children, we were treated like long lost friends by Anthony and Camilla who promptly invited us to sit with them for a beer and some snacks...now what more could we need...oh yes a dip in their beautiful pool. Lexis is a magical place and we felt instantly at home. Each room is beautifully decorated, very personal and full of interest. Really comfy beds, fresh flowers and the next morning the most delicious breakfast with homemade jams and fresh fruits and pastries. And a doubIe bass lesson! Only wish we had stayed longer.
