Tucked between the villages of Labretonie and Saint-Barthélemy-d'Agenais is a beautifully restored 19th Century French Farmhouse. La Cachette is a 4-bedroomed gîte with the most amazing terrace and beautiful countryside views. Large terrace doors open into a stunning open-plan main room (the Salle) which has a double height beamed ceiling and log-burner filled with sofas, large dining table and perfect for relaxing with the family. Leading off from the main room (the Salle) is another lounge (snug) with log-burner; a kitchen, utility room and breakfast room, all with exposed beams and stone walls. There is a rustic yet contemporary feel throughout the property, which remains cool in the summer sun and is centrally heated for winter. The large terrace also offers a combination of shade and sun for al fresco dining or relaxing under a Merlot vine. Shelves and toy boxes hold treats for the kids and a well-stocked wine rack will keep the adults happy. This perfect family-friendly gîte in one of the most beautiful regions of France is great for a family retreat, as all accommodation is on ground-floor.

Désastreux, à éviter
Les photos publiées sur le site internet ne correspondent pas à l'état reel de la propriété. Flouées et abusées par cette annonce, nous avons été contraintes de quitter les lieux le jour même de notre arrivée.

Très bon week-end
Très bon week-end entre amis, maison en pleine campagne avec un charme fou! Un jardin immense et une superbe piscine. Propriétaire réactif et organisé même en amont du séjour (groupe WhatsApp créé pour faciliter la communication). Idéal pour profiter d'un week-end/semaine entre amis/famille et se ressourcer à la campagne ! Dommage que nous ayons du partir à 10h (pour des raisons de procédures sanitaires liées au COVID-19)

About the host

Hosted by Lin and John Whitehead

Host profile image
We live in Norwich, England and have 2 boys - Archie and Harry - and one girl - Alice, both work full-time and love travelling to France for holidays as it is so easy to jump in the car.

Why they chose this property

We saw this property in August 2015 when staying close by and within a week had decided to take out a French mortgage to buy it! Crazy but true - it's such an amazing house for big groups or extended families, with acres of space and the best views from the terrace. We love it and hope you love it too.

What makes this property unique

The property is totally enclosed and surrounded by lots of garden where the kids can play safely. The terrace is amazing for eating and sitting in the evening watching the pool or reading a book, and we are lucky that an English couple live down the road who manage the property for us, who are a wealth of information on the local area and very helpful.
