Lovingly Restored 18th-Century Grange for 6

Isabelle & John, a French/American couple, and their two teenagers, welcome you to Quissac Haut, their lovingly-restored 18th century farmstead on a 5-acre estate in the heart of southwest France—a region famous for good living and culinary excellence. We offer two independent lodgings: The Colombier, an independent restored grange of 100m2 with a private terrace for up to 6 people; and the Alcove, a 50m2 studio apartment for two to four people located in the ground floor of our family home. Your lodgings in the Colombier: You’ll feel at home in your 3-bedroom, 2-bath, artistically restored and fully-equipped independent home with 30m2 private terrace In your spacious, fully-equipped kitchen you will find everything you need to cook the delicious local food You can also enjoy the shared, shaded, outdoor summer kitchen (our preferred spot for an early evening aperitif!); for the adventurous there is a Mexican-style brasero grill for barbecues (charcoal provided) Feel free to bathe in our beautiful infinity-edge pool (shared with other guests and our family), which overlooks rolling hills and an 15th-century chateau For laundry, your gîte is equipped with a washer/dryer (no extra fee) Coming in the spring or fall? There is a cast iron stove and free firewood in case it gets chilly You’ll be deep in the countryside, far from the hustle and bustle—but you’ll have Wifi. We are very sorry, for security issues, we can't host young children under 12, yet. Also, the configuration of the house and its surrendings make access difficult for people with reduced mobility. We love animals, and have cats and a very friendly golden retriever, but except in rare cases we can’t accept dogs. Feel free to write us with queries about exceptions. So much to discover in this historic rural area, world famous for its gastronomy (this is the home of foie gras, magret de canard and many other classic French delights), fine wines (Bordeaux, Cahors and Bergerac regions are nearby), stunning castles and medieval villages. Supermarkets are nearby, but so are charming farmers markets brimming with locally grown produce and regional delicacies as well as restaurants from simple cafes and bistros to Michelin-starred fine dining. The area is culturally vibrant, with an array of concerts, festivals, flea markets, museums and other attractions. Your stay can be as active or laid-back as you’d like; John and Isabelle are your onsite guides available for recommendations, directions, reservations, etc.
