About this property

3 bedroomed house in beautiful arcaded square

Our house is located in a pretty arcaded square in the beautiful village of Saint-Clar, backing onto the old 14th century town wall. The ground floor is open-plan, leading to a split-level outdoor terrace. It comprises a lounge area (including wi-fi , TV and dvd player) dining area for up to eight and a modern kitchen equipped with hob, microwave, oven, fridge, dishwasher. On the first floor there is a double bedroom, twin bedroom and bathroom. The second double bedroom (the studio) is reached across the terrace. It has an en suite shower, utility area with freezer and washing machine. There is an additional w.c. on the upper terrace level. Underneath the terrace we have a large under-croft area with table tennis table. The capacious south-facing terrace has stunning views across the Arratz valley and beyond to the rolling countryside of the Gers.

Saint-Clar is a lively village, one of the’ Bastide’ towns in south-west France and unique in having two historic arcaded squares. It has all the amenities, including a weekly market, two artisan bakeries, a butcher, chemist, newsagent, a bar, restaurant and 2 pizzerias all within walking distance. An excellent large swimming lake with flumes and restaurant is a 5 minute drive from the house.

The village lies in the heart of the Gascony countryside, with many nearby gourmet restaurants, historic towns, beautiful landscapes – on a clear day you can see the white peaks of the Pyrenees – and good walks. The well-preverved cathedral town of Lectoure, a key location on one of the pilgrim routes (Routes St Jacques) to Santiago de la Compostela, is a short drive away.

Toulouse - 1 hour away, Auch - 40 minutes, Agen – 40 minutes. Andorra and the Pyrenees are not much more than 2 hours away.
Nearest airport - Toulouse. Bergerac, Bordeaux, Carcassonne and Tarbe-Lourdes airports all with easy reach.

Mostly fine but...
The house is nice and well equipped and might deserve 5 * but for a couple of matters: - Stairs: way too steep and narrow. We tried not to use them but once a day, just to go to sleep, and always climbing with great care. I understand it's a really old property and this gives the house some "character" but still... - Main bedroom: bed is too narrow for two adults. This should be easier to fix at a reasonable cost than the stairs. Apart from this, and despite the heat wave, we had a good time and might even return if the bed issue is solved and maybe a pedestal fan is available at the dining-living room to better fight "la canicule". Kudos to Jennie, the local agent, for a fantastic job shipping us home two rings we left there on our departure.

Time in the sun
Absolutely fine. Had everything needed for a holiday. Plenty of towels - useful if only taking hand luggage.

Marvelous!
We had such a lovely stay at this charming home in Saint-Clar! This was our first time in Gascony, and this location was ideal! The town is very traditional, with the traditional qualities we were looking for: charm, legit bastide walls, bakery, butcher, grocer, bar, restaurants (casual but friendly!) and a weekly market. It’s small, however- so nice and quiet, gorgeous views, easy access to the quiet countryside- perfect! Kate and her agent, Christine, we’re both easily available, very, very helpful and responsive. Everything was as promised and we felt comfortable asking for suggestions and advice. Wonderful in every way! Hope to return and would send our friends!

Village et appartement sympathique. Manque barbecue. Mais déception, vaisselle rangée sans être lavée (gras et sale). Tiroirs du congélateur moisis. Bon couchage avec une literie très propre, ainsi que les sanitaires.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Baker

Host profile image
We had been on several great holidays in the past with our family and friends and have been surprised that Gascony is not better known. It is much less touristy than the Dordogne but still with big landscapes of rolling countryside, picturesque villages and wonderful food.
We are both academics, semi-retired, but still working on projects. We have lived in various towns in the UK and are now in Southampton.

Why they chose this property

We were attracted to no. 26 as we liked the idea of being in a bustling village rather than a remote place in the countryside. St Clar itself is close to a variety of airports - also an important consideration for a holiday destination. Although a car is essential to get here, we don’t require it for any of our basic needs - food, newspapers, chemist etc.

What makes this property unique

Each time we come we discover new things. There are big towns nearby –Toulouse, Auch, Agen - for a bit of culture, and no shortage of picturesque villages and towns such as Lectoure, on the famous Route Saint-Jacques. We can enjoy the daily ritual of walking to the baker for our bread for breakfast and start the day on the terrace as the sun rises. We can go for longer walks straight from the house. We converted it for us and our family but wish to let it out when we can’t be here.
