This gorgeous barn conversion would make a wonderfully romantic retreat for a couple or a small family, nestled into the Lot-et-Garonne countryside with glorious views from the house, the garden and the pool. Lot-et-Garonne offers all the charm of the neighboring Dordogne, but with fewer visitors. Take your time discovering the vineyards, medieval villages and bastide towns that give this region its timeless beauty and character. Maison de la Combe is one of the smartest restorations we’ve come across, carefully preserving its original features and double-height spaces for maximum impact. The décor is tastefully 21st century, turning the two double bedrooms into elegant modern retreats that would look quite at home in a chic little country hotel. There is also the added convenience of a playroom with a small single bed suitable for a child.
Your only near neighbours are the owners, who have a house near to Maison de la Combe, but the pool and grounds remain private to our guests.
