Where is it

Lot-et-Garonne
 

A comfortable gite with three en-suite bedrooms and 2 pools (1 heated)

Au Compte is an appealing hilltop hamlet of just 5 houses, on the borders of the Dordogne and the Lot et Garonne with wonderful views stretching over 20 kms. The surrounding area comprises gently rolling hills covered with vineyards and fields of bright yellow sunflowers.  There are several marked footpaths accessed from the house.

The Grange has three bedrooms, two en-suite showers and a family bathroom - a large living room with American kitchen - outside dining area etc.

The large swimming pool area is set well away from the gîte in the furthermost part of the garden.  There are 2 pools (8mx4m) both with security alarms and over 100m2 of sunbathing terrace, surrounded by trees, fields and lawns.  One pool, being shallow, is particularly suitable for young children.  The other is heated with solar panels.

The 2-acre garden of lawns, mature shrubs and woodland trees, is full of wildlife – glow-worms, stick insects, praying mantis, hedgehogs, nightingales, squirrels etc.  A pair of binoculars is really useful for watching the birds of prey.  Nearest village, Loubès-Bernac, the highest in the Lot et Garonne, has a bar/restaurant, excellent village store and post office and is 3 minutes in the car or a gentle 25-minute walk. Bordeaux 70 kms, St Emilion, 47 kms, Bergerac, 20 kms, Duras 15kms

At Easter and during May, June and September, the accommodation can be available midweek to take advantage of the low cost flights from UK airports including Stansted, Southampton, Exeter, Birmingham and Bristol, to Bergerac just 20 minutes away. June and September are wonderful months with hot (29°C), sunny days when the pool temperature is at least 24°C.
