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 gates to La Mandille - and you just might catch Sandrine painting a new canvas in her studio. A painter and art therapist, she has imagined this place as a lively, warm and inspiring space. During your stay, her private gallery and light-filled studio are open to you. And if you feel the urge to create, paint or simply slow down, she can accompany you with simplicity and kindness. This 64 m² Holiday cottage accommodates up to 4 people in a 20th-century house of character, where old-world charm meets carefully thought-out comfort: percale linen, top-of-the-range mattresses, bathrobes, Italian shower, fiber... every detail has been chosen to offer you a stay as comfortable as it is soothing. As soon as you put down your suitcases, the private patio becomes the heart of your stay. All the rooms open onto this green space entirely reserved for the Holiday cottage, with covered lean-to, barbecue and Mexican fireplace to make the most of South-Western evenings. A few steps away, the enclosed 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 site with solar panels with battery storage and pellet heating. From La Mandille, you can explore the ramparts of Rieux-Volvestre, the Gascon Market of Samatan, the banks of the Garonne, Montbrun-Bocage and the art workshops of Martres-Tolosane. These are just some of the escapades you can enjoy in the authentic South-West of France, where nature, heritage and the art of living come together.
