Welcome

A friendly, spacious and elegant 18th century house in a lovely hilltop village in the Gers. The house has 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms (3 en suite) and 7 W.Cs., with plenty of space for eating, reading and playing. The pretty garden and the pool are designed for relaxing and enjoying the outdoors in private, but with all the convenience and fun of a French village on your doorstep.

We had such a wonderful week at Miradoux and thank you for making it possible. It was a perfect place to spend with friends, adults and children alike.

I can see why you fell for the house, lots of space but cosy as well, with all its original features. We loved being in the village and the children enjoyed doing the breakfast run and endless trips to the very well stocked Casino usually to buy sweets. Because the weather was not warm enough to lie by the pool, we played masses of tennis, every day both courts were full. All the locals were incredibly friendly. We introduced the girls to petanque, looked round Chateau de Gramont, walked, played masses of card games. We celebrated 2 birthdays and 1 wedding anniversary while we there, so we went out to the restaurant in Bardigues, which was particularly good. Lovely position, delicious food, exceptional service and we were made, particularly the children, very welcome. Madame who cleans for you was splendid, so friendly and helpful.'

We loved the house, it was so spacious and well equipped. Even with 17 of us we never felt on top of each other. My daughter and family loved having the gite to escape to.

And the kids loved the pool, of course. Weather was kind and we usually managed to eat outside on the terrace. It is not an area of France that we know but we liked the peace and quiet and loved the countryside, the sunflowers and the small villages. And we appreciated having the small shops within walking distance when we ran out of milk or bread! Many thanks once again for a wonderful family holiday in your lovely villa.
