Nestled in the serene landscapes of Lot-et-Garonne, Manoir Campagnard is a picturesque villa exuding historic charm with its exquisite interiors and striking pigeonnier. Despite its age, this 18th-century manor has been meticulously restored, revealing contemporary allure within its elegant living spaces and spacious en suite bedrooms.
Since acquiring the property and its gardens in 2019, the owners, avid food enthusiasts themselves, have transformed the manor into a culinary haven. The stunning kitchen, equipped with high-end appliances, sets the stage for gastronomic delights, while the French oak table in the dining room, nestled by the woodburning fire, offers the perfect setting for indulgent regional feasts with loved ones. Wine aficionados will delight in the private cellar, where candlelit tastings of the finest local vintages await, expertly arranged by the owners.
The wood-beamed lounge upstairs beckons for convivial evenings, while the lower floor features a children’s lounge, doubling as a quad en suite bedroom, complete with a Smart TV for leisurely entertainment on the expansive sofa. Across the main and upper levels, the six sumptuous double bedrooms boast king-size beds, luxurious linens, and en suite shower rooms with complimentary toiletries and hairdryers.
Outside, the courtyard exudes idyllic charm with its ample dining areas, al-fresco lounge, and inviting firepit. Alternatively, guests can enjoy meals on the breakfast terrace, overlooking the serene gardens and lush trees. The tranquil ambiance extends to the pétanque court and table tennis area, before guests unwind in the salt-water heated swimming pool, basking in countryside views and the scent of lavender on warm summer days.
Nestled within a hamlet surrounded by rural farmland, Manoir Campagnard offers an authentic experience of French country living in one of the region’s most picturesque locales. Guests can explore the nearby market town of Cancon, renowned for its hazelnuts, or venture south to the banks of the Lot River for water-based activities near Castelmoron and Villeneuve-sur-Lot. In the summer months, opportunities abound for canoeing, kayaking, and other aquatic adventures along the river or nearby lakes.
Discover charming villages such as Monflanquin, Issigeac, and Monpazier, each offering a glimpse into the region’s rich history and culture. Sample prunes steeped in Armagnac in historic Agen, or embark on a scenic wine tour in the vineyards surrounding the enchanting hilltop town of Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
