Lagazaille (AND.47)

Lagazaille is a 5-bedroomed villa, sleeping 8 (+ baby), on the edge of the village of Castelmoron-sur-Lot (Lot-et-Garonne), 4km NW of Le-Temple-sur-Lot, 18km W of Villeneuve-sur-Lot, 36km SE of Marmande, and 32km NNW of Agen (Michelin map 524). VFB is delighted to have featured this property since 2006. Saturday arrival.

A modern villa built in traditional style, this splendid property sits in its own immaculate gardens among a scattering of similar-styled properties, on the outskirts of a bustling village, typical of this delightful region. Exposed beams, open fireplace and wooden floors upstairs and in all bedrooms add character to the otherwise modern interior, pleasantly furnished and immaculately kept by the owners who live here out of season. Outdoor living is particularly well-catered for, with more than 2000m² of largely lawned gardens providing plenty of space for relaxation and play. Fixed barbecue, table-tennis and a private swimming pool round off the excellent facilities here, while a covered terrace at the side of the house provides a shady respite for the less energetic! Within walking distance, the delightful village of Castelmoron-sur-Lot, well reputed for its popular Wednesday market. In the area within easy driving distance there are stunning villages and towns to be explored along the River Lot; le Temple sur Lot itself, Clairac with its 17th-century abbey, and Musee du Train for children. Local delicacies of foie gras and prunes can be enjoyed at countless local producteurs. Further afield, the vineyards of Bordeaux are close enough for a day trip. An impeccable property with excellent outdoor living, with the benefits of a thriving village on the doorstep.

Accommodation: Ground floor: kitchen, living/dining room, 3 double-bedded rooms, bathroom, separate wc. First floor: 2 double-bedded rooms, shower room, wc, cot. This property is particularly suited to indoor and out-of-season living due to a higher than average level of comfort.
