About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

In the heart of the Landes forest, traditional half-timbered gîte, 4pers.

This half-timbered sheepfold, completely rebuilt in 2008 with the support of the Parc Naturel Régional des Landes de Gascogne, will seduce you with its authenticity and calm. On a large airial (park), surrounded by oaks and pines with large unfenced spaces, the gîte has 2 bedrooms, a living room-kitchen, a bathroom, a toilet and a large covered terrace with garden furniture.

Set in beautiful surroundings, the gîte is built with traditional materials, including oak and pine beams, half-timbering with a mixture of lime and wood shavings, and old tiles.

The property also houses a recently-opened chambre d'hôtes and the family's Gironde stone house.

Situated 100 meters from a road with little traffic, it is isolated from it by the oak and pine forest and will provide you with peace and quiet.

Situated 54 km from the Atlantic Ocean, you can enjoy walks in the forest, along the banks of the Leyre river, visits to châteaux, nearby vineyards (Sauternes, Bordeaux) and the Ecomusée de Marquèze.

The neighboring village of Sore, 5km away, has a heated swimming pool, and the Hostens lake, with its activities and pedal boats, is around 15km away. Canoeing down the Leyre is also a must.

Beautiful Argelouse gite
We had a great time in this gite despite the weather not cooperating. Cecille and her son Pierre are wonderful. Location is second to none. The description on Vrbo should mention that towels and bed linen are not included in the price.

Belle immersion dans le pays landais
Au coeur des pins des Landes, cette “grange landaise” parfaitement rénovée et tout confort, nous a apporté un pur bonheur tout au long du séjour. Proche (10mn) du beau lac d’Hosrens offrant baignade, randonnée et diverses activités , on peut rejoindre en ligne directe les plages du littoral atlantique et notamment Biscarosse et ses belles vagues. Le calme,la paix, et “l’air des pins, appporte à ce séjour toutes les satisfactions possibles.
