Family home with a pool, 10 minutes from Marmande

The children are at the ping pong table. Someone is lighting the barbecue. You're on the terrace with a glass of Côtes du Marmandais, watching the sun drop behind the oak trees. No one is checking the time. That's Le Beau Pierre — a real family home on 10 private acres in the hills of SW France, made available to a handful of guests each year. Tuck yourself into a bed made with fresh linens, help yourself to kitchen essentials, and relax. The space Welcome to Le Beau Pierre. Imagine this: you’re sitting on the terrace, a glass of Côtes du Marmandais in hand. The children are playing ping pong while the sun slowly sets behind the oak trees. Someone is preparing the barbecue. No one is checking the time. That’s exactly why this house exists. Le Beau Pierre is not an ordinary holiday rental. It’s a true family home, ours, designed to offer what we all seek when we travel: space, calm, beauty, and that rare feeling of finally being able to slow down. The house Exposed stone, generous volumes, natural light. A carefully curated décor blending authenticity with contemporary comfort. Books on the shelves, thoughtfully selected artwork on the walls, games tucked away in cupboards. Everything here has a soul. Four bedrooms accommodate up to ten guests in absolute comfort. A master suite with a double bed and private bathroom, your retreat. A bright double bedroom. The children’s room: four beds in a playful layout they’ll remember for years. A flexible room: two single beds or a 180 cm king size bed, depending on your needs. Just let us know, we’ll take care of it before your arrival. Three full bathrooms and a separate WC. Soft towels, premium toiletries, hairdryers in each adult bedroom. And one simple promise: you will never run out of toilet paper. The kitchen Because people truly cook here, you’ll find everything you need to prepare real meals, not just get by. Gas stove, oven, large refrigerator, coffee machine, sharp knives, olive oil, spices, quality cookware, baking dishes, wine glasses, corkscrew. The pantry is stocked with pasta, rice, lentils, help yourself freely. Prepare a feast. Or just buttered pasta at 11pm after a day by the pool. Both are perfect. Outdoors: 4 hectares all to yourselves Le Beau Pierre sits on four hectares of private land. Meadows, century old trees, and a forest to wander through. Go for a walk, let the children explore, or simply enjoy this increasingly rare luxury: space and silence. The pool awaits, with sun loungers and towels. Right beside it, a summer kitchen for preparing lunch without leaving the sun. Summer afternoons here are exactly as you imagine them. Two terraces: one bathed in light for slow breakfasts, the other shaded for long aperitifs. You’ll pick a favorite, then change your mind. A charcoal barbecue, the only real way to do it. Nothing beats grilling outdoors with the scent of the countryside around you. Private parking for three vehicles. High speed Wi Fi. Washing machine and dryer. For families After years of traveling with our own children, we know what most rentals lack. Here, everything is designed to make life with little ones easy and joyful. You’ll find: a baby cot and high chairs on request, a toy cupboard for all ages, child friendly tableware, pool toys, a swing, a ping pong table, a pétanque set for aperitif time, books, puzzles, and board games for evenings. And that bunk bed room your children will still talk about in ten years. On arrival A welcome basket awaits you: a bottle of our wine and a selection of products from our favorite local artisans. The corkscrew and tote bag are yours to keep, a small reminder of your stay. Christine, our local concierge, will personally welcome you, show you around, and make sure you have everything you need to start relaxing right away. Where you are Le Beau Pierre is nestled in the hills of the Marmandais, in the heart of Lot et Garonne. Vineyards as far as the eye can see, orchards, forests, and everything you need just ten minutes away. What we love here? It’s off the tourist trail. No crowds, no queues.
