In the idyllic Gers countryside, Les Merigoux is a superbly restored farmhouse in an elevated and private setting within four acres of gardens with glorious views. Whether you’re gathering beside the wildflower meadow for a game of boules or lingering by the pool as evening nears, Les Merigoux promises a slow pace of life so typical of Gascony.
Inside, timber-beamed ceilings, soft stone tones and farmhouse textures lend warmth to the open-plan living and dining space, a beautiful room for gathering with family and friends. The kitchen, with its central island and modern appliances, invites leisurely breakfasts and convivial evenings alike, while the separate TV lounge and study (with lovely vistas) offer moments of quiet retreat.
Upstairs, four pretty bedrooms sleep up to 10 guests, including two en-suite shower rooms alongside a spacious family bathroom. We especially love the charming four-poster bedroom that feels like a private hideaway. All four bedrooms feature king or queen-size double beds, two with additional single beds.
Days unfold at your own rhythm. Start with a morning coffee on the side terrace, soak up the surrounding views (with rotating summer sunflowers) or enjoy a few lengths in the private heated pool before gathering for lunch in the shaded dining area. The large games/fitness barn provides entertainment whatever the weather, with table tennis, darts and table football alongside a punch-bag and rowing machine for the energetic. Evenings might be spent under the stars around the fire-pit, the scent of local white garlic and grilled delights drifting through the warm air.
Perfectly placed for exploring Gascony, Les Merigoux lies just 5km from the bastide village of Saint-Clar, where a bakery, weekly market and summer festivals capture the charm of everyday rural French life. Within easy reach are historic Lectoure, Fleurance and Sarrant, as well as vibrant Auch and Agen, each offering a deeper taste of the region’s rich heritage and culinary delights.
For those seeking relaxed sophistication in rural southwest France, Les Merigoux offers the perfect balance of comfort, character and connection in the beautiful Lomagne countryside.
