About the home

If you are looking for a relaxing holiday, an active holiday or a combination of both in a quiet rural setting close to the amenities of our local town, apartment 'La Garonne' at Aquitaine Gites in France is for you.

The villa is split into three poolside apartments and sits in terraced landscaped gardens with views over the river Lot with the occasional passing riverboat or rower.

The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with several decked areas, some in sun and some in shade. There is plenty of space for the on site activities including badminton, table tennis or boules. The front lawn is bordered by newly planted fruit trees and soft fruits with a mature fig tree in one corner and a help yourself vegetable patch.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Lounge / Diner - very spacious with 3 leather sofas, oak lounge / dining furniture and corner log fireplace.

Bedrooms - all bedrooms can be arranged as either doubles or twins.
Bathrooms - all have a bath with shower, a wash handbasin with mirror and light incorporating shaver point.
The kitchen is newly fitted with a good range of utensils and crockery.

The apartment has several eco-friendly features including 'A' rated white goods in the kitchen, long life low energy light bulbs where possible and reusable shopping bags are provided. We have a full household and garden rainwater recuperation system which is used to keep the lawns green and plants watered through the summer months.

The apartment is on the first floor with easy access.

Further details outdoors:
The apartment has a 12m x 2m veranda accessed via both the lounge and kitchen with spiral stair access to the landscaped gardens.

There is security gate access from the road to the property and both the pool and riverbank are fenced with gated access.

We established a vegetable plot in the 2009 season with our guests being delighted to help themselves to cherry tomatoes, courgettes, cucumbers, red & green peppers and sweetcorn. The variety of vegetables will be increased in 2010. One of the main flower beds has also been planted with soft fruits such as strawberries, gooseberries, blackcurrents, raspberries, blackberries and table grapes.

View over the river Lot

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Lot et Garonne region

Lot et Garonne is a department of the region of Aquitaine in southwest France, just south of the Dordogne.
The Lot valley is one of the most fertile areas in France with vineyards, farms and orchards. The area is responsible for the production of most of the plums used in the region's most famous product, Pruneaux D'Agen. This is essentially dried plums using the same process as for dried apricots.

The climate is ideal ,for sunbathing by the pool, picnics in the grounds and BBQs.

The landscape varies from rolling hills to the fertile valley floors. Running through the valleys are rivers bordered by picturesque Bastide towns, many worth visiting.

The Villeneuve Sur Lot area

Activities within easy reach of Aquitaine Gites in France include the more relaxing fishing, horseriding, golf, hot air ballooning and evening markets with entertainment.

If you feel more energetic why not try canoeing, kayaking, hover boats, cycling, go-karting or the water theme park. If you don't suffer from vertigo try the tree top park with activities for children as young as three. We also have a local tenpin bowling alley with pool tables.

The more adventurous amongst you might like to try microlighting with flights available over the apartments.

Those interested in the local food and wine will not be disappointed. There are a number of local farms which run organised tours and tastings including honey, fruit, nut and goat farms. If the farm is not for you there are numerous markets to stroll around, almost one for every day of the week in peak season.

Our local vineyard is only 5 minutes away with a multi language signposted tour of the vineyard explaining what happens to the vines through the seasons.

There are also several towns and villages of interest in the area including Pujols with its vantage point on top of a hill overlooking the Lot valley. It has several excellent restaurants, shops and an art gallery.

Nerac, which is a little further afield, is worth a visit with Henry IV's chateaux and extensive public park with the river Baise running through it. Why not take a picnic and watch the riverboats pass by. Not far from here you can see where the river gets its other name 'the river of steps' with a long run of locks.
