Gite With Pool And Superb Views Over Countryside

We (myself, hubby, 10yo & 5yo) have just returned from an amazing 10 days at Au Sabate. The Gite is very nicely decorated with all the facilities and equipment you could possibly need. Every window has a beautiful view of the countryside and there is a very peaceful feel to it all, there's also enough space that a family of 4 are not treading on each others toes all week!!

The grounds are amazing too with lots of garden & woodland for strolling around, we were even visited by a baby deer on our last day. The swimming pool was the highlight though, you can see it from patio and it's a great size. We used it daily to cool down after being out in the baking sunshine and the children practically lived in it!

Jean is a wonderful host making sure we had everything we needed and giving us some great advice about how to make the most of our stay in Gers. My 5yo put it perfectly by saying he's not sure what he's missing more - the pool or Jean (high praise indeed).

Gers has something for everyone it's such a peaceful area with rolling fields full of sunflowers and hardly a car on the road, there's great food and wine all around you too. It's also good for exploring and my family especially loved visits to Larressingle & Fources. We also found great children's playgrounds at Castelnau-Sur-L'Auvignon and a little further a field at Castelnau-d'Auzan. There are well stocked supermarkets just down the road in Condom which also has a great Cathedral to look round. For day trips you can reach places like Bordeaux (we loved splashing in Le Miroir d'eau), Biarritz (a surfers paradise) and even Spain within 2-3 hours. It really is a great central location for a wide range of holiday types.

In short "would we recommend?" Absolutely, "would we go back?" In a heartbeat :)

A very well presented and equipped gite in a stunning location in the Gers. The owner Jean was so helpful and welcoming. Several towns such as La Romieu and Condom within easy driving distance are well worth a visit. We would recommend Au Sabate to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable holiday.

My wife and I have travelled to many parts of France and for the past few years have visited the Gers because it is so unspoilt and the countryside delightful. We found this property on the website and what a find! It is in a beautiful setting, the accommodation cannot be faulted with all you could wish for in terms of facilities. There is a lovely terrace and a really beautifully maintained swimming pool. It also has Jean the owner. She is delightful and ensures you have all you require without being intrusive.We loved it & can't wait to return to this perfect holiday location.

We travel to a different part of France each year and this is the best Gite we have had so far. Some promise so much but don't deliver where I would say this one delivers more than you are expecting.

We have two teenage children, the Gite is spacious for 4 and very well laid out. It was wonderfully clean when we arrived and everything we needed was available. The bedrooms are a generous size and there is plenty of space to relax inside and out in the evening.

If I'm honest I think its better than the website makes out and don't let the competitive price put you off, its fantastic value for money and could easily complete with others listed that charge several hundred a week more.

The grounds are large and would be great for younger children to play in and with no near neighbours its wonderfully quiet. The pool is to die for and literally a stones throw from your living room french doors. The pool is kept spotlessly clean with its own robot that cleans the floor and there are nets if you need to extract the odd insect. There are 4 quality sun beds with cushions and a separate seating area with soft seats, a table and a sun shade right next to the pool.

Whilst the gite is next to the main house it is really attached, more just linked. Jean is the owner and host and gave a very warm welcome and was always on hand to provide any local knowledge or answer any questions.

We haven't to date ever returned to a Gite for the second time as we like to explore new area's however this might be the first ! It certainly comes highly recommended by ourselves and would suit either a family of 3/4 or a couple simply wanting to escape

Thank you Jean for making it such a special holiday and

We have been travelling in France for 3 months now and this Gite has been the favourite for all of the family. It is spacious, recently renovated and equipped with everything you could need. The beds and lounge furniture are comfortable (which we are finding is not that common in France) and in great condition. The pool is fabulous and gardens very extensive. There is plenty of space in the huge garden for children to run around and not worry about making a bit of noise. The owner is very welcoming, friendly and helpful and pointed out sights and activities which we enjoyed. The kids particularly enjoyed the horse-riding school 3 km away. I enjoyed many great walks around the countryside on little used roads and tracks using maps from the Tourist Office as well as discovering my own routes. The gite is only a short walk from the GR65 pilgrimage track to Compostela.
