Maison Valentine is a large, spacious and stylishly renovated 18th Century Maison de Maitre built in the Napoleonic era. The house is beautifully proportioned with high ceilings and wide hallways and is decorated to a very high standard with a contemporary but classic feel.
There is a private, heated Romanesque swimming pool, an enclosed garden with large terrace and al fresco eating area.
Tastefully decorated and elegantly proportioned, the house boasts wide hallways and high ceilings, though visitors can feel cosy relaxing in the beamed sitting room, complete with HD TV and freeview system. A large modern kitchen and dining area spans one side of the ground floor. The living room, utility room and toilet are located on the other side.
Up the winding wooden staircase, the two main bedrooms are very large and airy with high ceilings, although the more cottage feel of the back bedroom, which overlooks the garden, is a particular favourite with our children and many of our house guests. All bedrooms are fitted with en suite bathrooms.
Notes on bedrooms:
- Bedroom 1: Super king bed plus large single bed, walk-in dressing room.
- Bedroom 2: double bed and single sofabed.
- Bedroom 3: double bed.
All bedrooms have feather duvets and pillows and mattress protectors. Extra blankets and bedding are available.
The front of the house overlooks the historic church in the centre of the medieval village of Castet-Arrouy.
Located in a peaceful and rural setting, the house is on the old walking route of Chemin de Santiago de Compostela which passes directly in front of the house. The surrounding area is known as 'the Tuscany of France' for its miles of rolling landscapes which in the Summer are awash with sunflowers. 10 minutes from the N21 motorway it is served by 4 airports, the nearest being Toulouse (an hour away), but Bordeaux, Bergerac and Carcasonne are all under two hours drive.
Ten minutes from neighbouring Lectoure, and 35 minutes to the Armagnac capital, Condom, as well as the busy market town of Fleurance, the house is in the heart of Gascony, rightly famous for its fantastic local produce and vineyards. There are markets in the local area nearly every day of the week. The oldest inhabited region of Europe, this area also boasts the most chateaux of anywhere in the country and a wealth of cultural heritage. But the area around Lectoure is particularly favoured by hikers and walkers for its outstanding natural beauty. Near to the house is a swimming lake for days when you want a change from the pool.

La Maison Valentine is a beautiful house with a peaceful and relaxing feel; lovely rooms with good facilities. The house immediately felt like a home and was equipped to a high standard. The garden/ pool area is private and very pretty, providing a tranquil space in which to relax and enjoy long meals. The village is lovely and the location of the property excellent for visiting the many beautiful sights within the area.

We had a extremely pleasant holiday in this very special house. Everything was as promised on the web site. The house was special, but what really made our holiday was the beauty of the village, the breath taking scenery of this area of France, the kindness of the people and the many beautiful old towns and villages. We were met on arrival; we had a contact in the village should we need any assistance and we had pleasant weather. What more can we ask for?

I have only wonderful things to say about Maison Valentine. Myself and my family spent one of the most relaxing weeks I have had in many years there. the house itself is beautiful. It rests in a sleepy village in one of my favourite regions of France. There is a little restaurant literally a stones throw from the front door. A great place for a relaxing lunch, or dinner after a day by the pool, it's owners were friendly, and very welcoming. If you are looking for a place to relax, unwind in beautiful surroundings this is the place for you. We plan to return, so I guess you can't get any better recommendation than that!!! Enjoy!!! Thank You Will and Sukie for sharing your wonderful home. See you again soon!!!!

Maison Valentine is set in a most idyllic part of rural France. It's in a beautiful location with stunning scenery of rolling hills on its approach. The house, garden and pool are magical and set in a traditional French village with a cafe/restaurant and exquisite church. With an hour and 1/2 flight and then an hours drive from Toulouse it's amazingly easy to get to from London. We had a fabulous time buying food from the market in Fleurance, cooking and then sitting around the pool in the warm evenings and emerged after a week thoroughly relaxed. Loved it, thank you so much, hopefully we will return.
