'Le Paradis' is indeed a 'heavenly' spot, it has everything we want from a holiday in France.
The house is full of character, beautifully renovated and maintained. The garden and pool are extremely comfortable and wonderfully situated with views of the countryside and the castle...but beware...they are so good, you can't help but idle your time away there every day!!
Lavardens is a very picturesque village with fascinating corners and lovely countryside to stroll in. We felt really lucky to find this 'unspoilt' corner of France last year and couldn't resist coming back this year...It won't be our last visit!!

Paradise is a small hamlet in the heart of Gascony

Submitted: September 26, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Le Paradis.... Paradise is a small hamlet in the heart of Gascony. A home from home to relax in with magnificent views, fabulous heated pool, BBQ area and gardens. For those who can’t leave the 21st century behind there is broadband, but with a Chateau a short walk away and the narrow streets of Lavardens to wonder through, you can’t help but slow your pace and delight in the tranquillity of this ancient place. The surrounding area has much to offer with many small villages to discover the spa town of Castera-Verduzan a 10 minute drive away Auch, the home of D’Aartagnan is 20 minutes. Throughout the area are reminders of times gone by with Roman towers and settlements to visit. For those who wish to sample the delights of the local wines, there is Chateau Monluc where you can sample and purchase the local specialities of Floc and Pousse Rapiere. In addition to all this, the fact that the owner lives in the village is a bonus, particularly for those who may be less confident in speaking French. This takes the stress out of booking restaurants and other activities which require reservations! Yes, Le Paradis is paradise, it is hard to leave such a delightful place, but the memories linger on long after you have returned home, beckoning you to return.....Janette from Yorkshire

Going the extra mile to meet the needs of guests!!

Submitted: September 19, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
This was our 2nd visit and we were not disappointed. Ian and Margaret are excellent hosts who will go the extra mile to meet the needs of guests. A case in point was Ians "construction" of a charcoal BBQ (instead of the gas one) made our stay feel like home (South Africa)!! Thanks to you both....Rudie and Sanel

Relaxed Family Vacation Home

5 of 5
Submitted: September 2, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Perfect for a relaxed family vacation. The pool area and the view from the porch are amazing. The house is comfortable but the room layout could be better explained (three bedrooms sharing one bath on the upper floor). A peaceful village with easy access to many area opportunities like cooking class, hiking, riding, markets and boating. Great local restaurants. The owners were very helpful on arrival without being omnipresent. It will be a vacation our family will always treasure.
