L'Atelier de la Mandille

Some holidays have to be experienced. A Piscine to forget time, a painting studio to rediscover it, a private gallery, a lean-to to do nothing - and all around, walks that smell of the South-West. Sandrine and Eric are warm and welcoming. And if you feel like painting, the studio awaits you - on your own, or accompanied by Sandrine for those who want lessons.

Push open the gate at La Mandille—and you might just find Sandrine painting a new canvas in her studio.
A painter and art therapist, she envisioned this place as a lively, warm, and inspiring space. During your stay, her private gallery and bright studio are open for you to explore at your leisure. And if you feel the urge to create, paint, or simply slow down, she’ll be happy to guide you with warmth and kindness.

This 64 m² holiday cottage accommodates up to 4 people in a charming 20th-century house, where old-world charm meets thoughtfully designed comfort: percale linens, high-end mattresses, bathrobes, a walk-in shower, and fiber-optic internet… Every detail has been chosen to offer you a stay that is as comfortable as it is soothing.
All on one level: Kitchen, living room (converts to a 160-size bed), bedroom: 2 80-size beds that can be joined, bathroom with shower and toilet

As soon as you’ve put down your bags, the private patio becomes the heart of your stay. All rooms open onto this lush green space reserved exclusively for the holiday cottage, featuring a covered pergola, a barbecue, and a Mexican fireplace so you can fully enjoy evenings in the Southwest. Just a few steps away, the fenced-in Piscine and organic garden invite you to relax, while the kids enjoy the play areas.
Committed to a concrete ecological approach, Sandrine and Éric have equipped the property with solar panels featuring battery storage and a pellet-fired heating system. Here, sustainability is simply part of everyday life.
Outdoor space: a 2,000 m² park and swimming pool shared with the owners.

From La Mandille, set out to explore the ramparts of Rieux-Volvestre, the Gascon market in Samatan, the banks of the Garonne, Montbrun-Bocage, or even Martres-Tolosane and its art studios. So many getaways to savor the authentic Southwest, where nature, heritage, and the art of living come together.
