La Maison du Queyran

In the heart of southwestern France, between Bordeaux and Toulouse, in a restored old farmhouse, the "La Maison du Queyran" holiday cottage offers a rejuvenating getaway on the edge of the Landes Forest. Just a stone’s throw from the village of Villefranche-du-Queyran, a 13th-century bastide nestled in the Ourbise Valley—a small river where you can engage in trout fishing. Semi-detached house next to the owners’ home, the holiday cottage offers complete privacy and independence with its own private entrance, two covered terraces (15 and 20 m²), its own parking, and a large, enclosed wooded garden of 1,000 m². On the ground floor: a fully equipped kitchen with a dining area, a large living room with a TV and a wood-burning stove (wood included for a one-week rental; additional charges apply for longer stays), and Bedroom 1 (1x 160-cm bed) with an en suite bathroom and a separate toilet. Upstairs: 2 bedrooms, each with a 160-bed and a 90-bed, a shower room, and a separate toilet. Beds made. Bath linens available as an option; a dryer is available at the owner’s home upon request. Ceiling fans in all 3 bedrooms and the living room.
Two covered terraces with furniture, a barbecue, and a plancha grill. Free Wi-Fi. Private Piscine (8x4m, depth 1.50m), with an alarm, lounge chairs, and a beach umbrella; open from June through September. The rich diversity of the “Côteaux et Landes de Gascogne” region offers a blend of culture, gastronomy, relaxation, and recreation: night markets with entertainment and tastings, the vineyards of Buzet and Marmandais, historic sites including various bastides, the royal city of Nérac, the Rembrandt of Mas d’Agenais, the Canal des Deux Mers and river tourism, Casteljaloux—a spa town with its thermal recreation center, Lake Clarens (Swimming, fishing, water sports…), equestrian center, 18-hole Golf course, tree-top adventure course, the Casino, the Olympic-size Piscine (3 pools)—not to mention the “So Vélo” greenway bike path connecting Marmande to Pindères, the Garorock Festival in Marmande, “Fous de Garonne,” and the journalism festival in Couthures-sur-Garonne
