    LUXURY 13th CENTURY, MEDIEVAL VILLAGE BARN CONVERSION (Sleeps up to 4 people)

    Located in the heart of the medieval hilltop village of Lavardens, this tastefully converted barn dates back to the 13th century and enjoys wonderful views across the rooftops to the countryside beyond.
    Lavardens is a small listed village of c114 inhabitants with a general store, a restaurant, a bar/brasserie and a military-style château which features exhibitions most of the year - ALL WITHIN 50 METRES OF THE PROPERTY!
    At Castera Verduzan (9km) there are tennis courts, bike hire, horse riding, a leisure lake with a beach where one can, swim, fish and wind-surf. A thermal spa and casino can also be found here. The area enjoys many music festivals : a Country & Western Festival in Mirande (40 km), Tempo Latino in Vic-Fezensac ( 18km) and Jazz in Marciac (50 km), it also enjoys many village fêtes and night markets in the summer (5 in Lavardens), with day markets in most of the villages and towns nearby. The beautiful town of Auch with its impressive Cathedral and very good restaurants is just 15km away. There are several good 18 hole golf courses in Auch (15km), Eauze (41km) and Fleurance (15km).
    House Interior
    Entry to the property is via a pretty lane tucked away in the centre of the village. Off the ground floor hallway are two beautifully decorated bedrooms, a bathroom featuring a large, walk-in shower and a separate WC.

    A circular staircase leads up to an open plan first floor which contains spacious living and dining areas ‘AND’ the most wonderful views over the village rooftops of the rolling Gers countryside. Adjacent is a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and yet more views.
    House Exterior
    From the entrance hall, an exterior stone staircase leads down to a most spectacular, yet very private, courtyard. This area, enclosed by stone walls of the 13th century is ideal to capture the sunlight of the day and the atmosphere created by the setting and the bedecked up-lighting of the evening.

    Warning : house not suitable for young children ( staircases and beds with no safety gates)

    Beautiful place to stay, so Special!
    Everything we needed to be comfortable was included for our 7 day stay. We were able to cook meals in the fully equipped kitchen, do laundry, and sit inside or outdoor to eat meals. The Gite has been furnished tastefully and has two levels plus the lower terrace. Feeding the fish in the fountain pond on the terrace was our favorite thing to do besides touring the countryside villages. Our hosts were helpful and informed us of nearby supermarket/grocery locations. We hope to stay here again!

    La Buse Bleue - A Relaxing Holiday
    La Buse Bleue is an excellent gite in the heart of Lavardens. The property has been tastefully renovated and has many modern facilities, in particular the kitchen and shower room. Having the bedrooms downstairs is a practical innovation, especially during hot weather. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Wonderful stay in a beautiful town
    The new renovation of Didier’s and Laure’s historic town home is done tastefully and authentic to the village. Amenities were excellent and our stay was very comfortable. A cozy courtyard with fish pond. Beautiful countryside with small towns to explore. Day hikes are everywhere.

    Perfect place for a holiday
    This property is delightful, we were welcomed by Laure and Didier who showed us how everything worked. They live nearby and were really helpful. The two bedrooms and shower room were immaculately decorated, clean and comfortable. The patio is private and all the chairs and beds clean and neat, ready to use. The fish pond is an added interest, I counted 24 fish! The living area was open plan and spacious which we liked, with views out over the rooftops and countryside, with the windows open it felt like we were in the open air. Everything we needed for cooking was available. It is a small kitchen but all the equipment was of high quality so we could make interesting meals with local ingredients. It was lovely to be so close to the historic castle, not to be missed, with a restaurant next door. The cafe and small shop in the village was also fun to visit. Although we stayed for three days, we could have spent a lot longer in Lavardens. I recommend this property for a relaxing and quiet break, with a big thank you to Laure and Didier.
