THE LOCATION EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS!!

Submitted: July 13, 2010 Stayed: June 2010
The location within such a picturesque village has exceeded our expectations. Wasting countless hours by the pool seemed to be the right thing to do! Countless historical, architectural and country gems within 30 minutes.

Paradise is a small hamlet in the heart of Gascony

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.

I can truly say we found paradise at Le Paradis!!

Submitted: May 7, 2010 Stayed: March 2010
Both the property and the location lived up to expectations - stunning!! The property is spacious and has been finished to a very high specification. Everything was clean and fresh and on reflection there is really nothing we could have asked for that would have enhanced our experience. Fabulous! We wanted a place that provided quiet relaxation without having to give up luxury and I can truly say we found paradise at Le Paradis. The owners Ian and Margaret went out of their way to ensure we wanted for nothing. Especially helpful was Ians suggestions on day trips incorporating beautiful sites and good restaurants. Thanks for a fantastic time and we will be back!

"Review...Extract from 'THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY' 17 Sept 2006
Holidays with children by Katie Holland......'HEY MUM, LET'S GET A TAN AT HALF-TERM'... "Last year, the October half term was a washout - we were flooded out of our place in Ireland and spent the entire time in wellies. Stanley even slept in his. Of course, it was a great adventure for the kids, they loved all that mud and rain and want to do it all over again!...I'm told the weather in Gascony in October is still typically warm and sunny. I've got my eye on Le Paradis, a luxury 12th century village house with private swimming pool and plenty of space for the children to run about in"....

Have just returned from a wonderful week in this beautiful house in a very picturesque and unspoilt part of France. Ian and Margaret (the owners) were so helpful and friendly and the house with its lovely terrace and pool area exceeded our expectations. We really appreciated all the special touches - the welcome pack, beautiful towels in the house and at the pool, good selection of dvds and books and even vases of lavender in the bedrooms. This is the perfect place to relax and unwind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Le Paradis. Thank you so much for a great week.
