Lovely house and property with beautiful gardens and pool
We had a good welcome and lots of information up front. The property is very private, which suited us well. Gorgeous gardens with mature trees and flowers. The outdoor furniture is very nice and a nice place to sit in the afternoon and enjoy the gardens. Lots of places to explore. The pool is excellent. We spent alot of time in here. The house is very comfortable, good lounges, chairs to sit at, nice beds, plenty of bathrooms. The house is well -equipped, good for cooking and eating meals in. It's rural, so quiet but close enough to good attractions and places to eat. Enjoyed our stay, highly recommended.

Très beau séjour
Très belle propriété. De veilles pierres dans un confort moderne, dans un parc très agréable. Les matériaux de rénovation sont très bien choisis. la maison est tra bien équipée (barbecue, grande piscine, salon de jardin, cuisine et salles de bains très confortables) Nous avons pu rayonner depuis la maison, dans toute la région avec d'agréables surprises, comme la ville de FOIX, vraiment charmante le jour de marché. Tout était parfait. Merci pour ce séjour.

About the host

Hosted by Lance Shaw

Host profile image
We are a British and Chinese couple who lived in Switzerland for ten years. We moved to France in 2017. To remember our time in Switzerland we decided to transport an olive tree that we had on the terrace. We sent it by post and it survived. This is a picture of us just before we planted the tree in the garden at Le Rastel. Hopefully it will flourish in its new home.

Why they chose this property

We looked at over 1000 properties on the web and narrowed the search down to ten. We looked in both the Lanquedoc and Bordeaux regions. We fell in love with this property the moment we drove down the driveway and into the parkland, before we even entered the house.

What makes this property unique

Perfect location, tranquil without being isolated.
Centuries old managed parkland.
Parkland contains a manicured garden and a area of fruit trees and a potager
Fruit is available to the tenants according to the season.
