Le Gite - Chez Alex: Beautifully converted stone barn w/swimming pool.

A Relaxing Barn Retreat in the Lot-et-Garonne

Welcome to our beautifully converted barn, nestled among the rolling hills and peaceful countryside of the Lot-et-Garonne in southwest France.

Created as a place to slow down, switch off and enjoy the simple pleasures of French country life, our holiday home combines the character and charm of a traditional barn with the comfort and convenience you’d expect from a modern holiday stay.

Inside, you’ll find a comfortable and welcoming space designed with relaxation in mind. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals during your stay, whether that’s a quick breakfast before heading out to explore, a leisurely lunch using fresh local produce, or dinner enjoyed together after a day in the sunshine.

We know that a good night’s sleep is an important part of any holiday, so we’ve invested in new hybrid mattresses to provide a comfortable and supportive night’s sleep. We supply all the linens (100% cotton), towels, toiletries and basic kitchen needs - such as oil, basic spices, coffee, tea... so you don't have to worry about travelling with excess baggage!

TV is also connected to UK channels (terrestrial) if you're inclined or just log onto one of your streaming apps and watch your favorite show on the 55" screen!

Outside, the property shares a courtyard and swimming pool, providing plenty of space to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The pool is perfect for cooling off on warm summer days, while the courtyard offers somewhere to sit, enjoy a morning coffee, read a book or relax with a glass of wine in the evening.

The setting is all about enjoying the slower pace of life. Surrounded by the rolling landscapes of the Lot-et-Garonne, you’ll find yourself immersed in the peaceful French countryside, while still being within easy reach of charming villages, local markets, cafés, restaurants, wineries and much more.

This is an area where there is plenty to discover. Take a drive through the countryside, wander around a food market, visit one of the region’s historic towns or stop for a long lunch at a village restaurant. Food, wine, sunshine and the relaxed French way of life are all part of the experience.

And if exploring isn’t on your agenda, that’s perfectly fine too.

One of the great pleasures of staying here is simply having the time and space to do very little. Start the day slowly with coffee in the courtyard, spend the afternoon beside the pool, prepare dinner in the kitchen and watch the evening settle over the countryside.

Our holiday home is not about unnecessary luxury or formality. It is about simple comfort, relaxation and feeling at home while experiencing everything that makes southwest France such a special place to visit.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful escape, a base for exploring the region, or simply somewhere to disconnect from everyday life, we hope you’ll find everything you need here.

Come for the countryside, the sunshine and the French way of life. Stay for the peace, comfort and chance to slow down.
