Lovely family home set in the heart of Gascogne France

Prices from £695 per Week
SAVOUR THE BEST OF GASCONY The pace is slow, the food sublime, the local’s friendly. There is a beguiling corner of southwest France that politicians refer to as la France profonde; where stressed Parisians dream of buying their holiday homes. The landscape is as unscarred today as when d’Artagnan, one of Alexandre Dumas’ famed musketeers, walked his native land. This is Gascony. The sleepy villages, vineyards, maize and sunflower fields that define the countryside are still free of the crowds of tourists that flock to neighbouring regions. There are no motorways, no power stations or industry, and no well-known tourist honey pots; it has remained a rural backwater, undisturbed by modernity. The region is clearly defined by its hearty food and drink; duck is the culinary king, foie gras has attained reverential status, and Armagnac, cognac’s earthier cousin, is the local digéstif. Life is slow and relaxed and it is little wonder that locals enjoy the longest life expectancy in France. PONTACQ is a recently and tastefully renovated farmhouse offering the opportunity to get off the 'stress merry-go-round' and leave any problems at the gate, to relax in peaceful surroundings. It offers you well equipped, secure and comfortable accommodation. It is in an ideal location from which you can launch your exploration of this beautiful and historic region and begin to discover the hidden secrets of rural France. To savour its amenities, heritage, tradition, cuisine and beauty. PONTACQ has for your exclusive use a new swimming pool and sun terrace with superb country views, shaded and barbeque area located in your own private garden. The pool is to be fitted with a security system that complies with French regulations to help ensure the safety of younger children. A long tree lined entrance drive offers increased security for children. Your holiday home is accessed via a quiet country commune road and there are parkland entrance gardens offering shade, beauty and additional play areas for those warm summer days. The owners who live on the five-acre site but away from the property assure your privacy. They run and maintain their high standards themselves and can be available for those little emergencies should any occur. Help, advice and updated local information is also available. Seclusion, relaxation, peace and quiet comes as standard on Pontacq as you enjoy the pool and gardens, surrounded by the glory of the French countryside. Enjoy the convivial atmosphere of alfresco dining after a rewarding day of enjoying yourself. It’s tough but someone has got to do it!
