Our house and the area
“Les Caulins,” built in the 18th century, is a classic French country house, once a vineyard and farm. Nestled in the rolling hills of Lot-et-Garonne, it’s ideal for relaxing by the sunny pool or under shady terraces. Guests enjoy wide views, blue skies, and a long, warm season.
There are three spacious bedrooms, including one on the ground floor. Each room is lovingly decorated, blending classic French charm with a boutique hotel feel. All bedrooms have super king-size beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, vintage French furniture, and flat screen TVs. The en-suite bathrooms are large, finished with stone tiles, roomy walk-in showers, and modern boutique details.
A pretty, shady covered terrace provides a relaxing spot to escape the mid-day sun or to enjoy breakfast. From the terrace you enter the heart of the house, le Grande Salon. A generous, terracotta tiled and oak beamed room and as with many old French farmhouses, the centre of the house. A well equipped kitchen with large kitchen dining table. Plenty of cosy seating and a big stone fireplace with wood burning stove large flat screen TV with English channels and Wi-Fi.
Purchased by Emma and John Gilchrist, and drawing on their extensive hospitality experience, they have created a holiday gîte they would love to enjoy themselves. It offers a charmingly French atmosphere, complete relaxation, informative details, delightful rustic touches, and comfortable, affordable luxury with elements that will surprise you.
“It was a simple decision for us. The idea of spending a morning at a local market or sampling wine at a nearby vineyard, followed by an afternoon by the pool and dinner watching the sunset, was a dream we couldn’t resist.
