Close your eyes to imagine yourself relaxing in the tranquil and picturesque embrace of South West France's Gers region (Gasogne), fondly known as "French Tuscany". Discover the land of chivalry and d'Artagnan, of smooth Armagnac, of aromatic garlic and of the historical Route of St. Jacques de Compostello.
Indeed, there in the heart of entirely unspoilt rural countryside - dotted with welcoming villages, churches and castles and acres and acres of golden sunflowers - the blend of local culture, gourmand flavours (think rosemary, lavender, thyme), breathtaking scenery, wealth of history and wonderful Mediterranean climate, certainly offers something for just about everyone!
"....a unique experience to revisit again and again...."
Tastefully furnished, an incredibly spacious holiday hideaway, and "decidedly French with an Asian twist", "'Enbosc" (anno 1788), crowns the fields of an ancient village and offers 360' views. Here life slows down as you enjoy the comfort and convenience of modern efficiency, carefully balanced with a desire for quieter and simpler living in a truly unique environment.
The house comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests across six large bedrooms, three of which are ensuite. There are four bathrooms, plus a guest WC, two big living rooms, a dining room and a large eat-in kitchen - the heart of every French home! Outside are three delightful terraces, which adjoin the surrounding lawn, prairie and farmland.Other facilities include a large private swimming pool (17m x 6m), a pétanque court ("jeu de boules"), table tennis and a basketball hoop. The estate has its own private fields and forest, which offer plenty of opportunity for hours for playing, exploring, hiking, jogging and cycling.
More than just an ideal warm (up to 30'C) and sunny Summer holiday destination, Enbosc is also perfectly suited for gueststays during the Winter months, such as Christmas, New Year and Easter gatherings of families and friends, when the house is equipped with floor heating and the snowy ski and snowboarding pistes of the Piau-Englay in the Pyrenees (November - March) are no more than two and a half hours drive away.
With respect for the comfort and safety of all guests, sorry no smoking and no pets.
The extensive restoration and renovation of "Enbosc" and the preservation of its beautiful architecture was carried out by a team of dedicated local craftsmen in 2003. The characteristic French ‘pigionnier’ has since become a point of orientation for the surrounding countryside and villages.
Amongst the surrounding picture-perfect villages you will find - to name just a few - the idyllic hamlets St. Créac and St. Martin, the historical market towns St.Clar (the region's garlic capital), Lectoure and Beaumont de Lomagne, the shopping towns Fleurance and Agen, the music and arts centers Marciac and Vic Fezensac, the cathedral cities Auch and Lourdes, and the international cities Toulouse (closest airport), Bordeaux and Cahors.
