    The chateu is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by huge, old garden with a swimming pool. The owners are lovely and helpful, and they make best breakfast with their own jams, honey, yoghurt… I loved renting the bikes - the paths around are decent,...

Company information

Warm and easy hospitality Xavier, Vanessa and her mother Chantal are pleased to accommodate you to enjoy their homes and Region. Both aeronautical engineers, we are employees of aerospace companies located in the area of Bordeaux. Chantal, retired after having been a nurse for decades, fulfills a dream of 30 years: accommodate hosts! Our horses thrive in the paddocks surrounding the home: Vae Victis, Dédale, and our Shetland pony, Bounty, who will delight your children.

Property information

The estate takes its name from one of its first owners, Sire Gaston de l'Isle, Gascon knight. But the old castle of the 12th century is no more than a memory belonging to history, the place is now occupied by an elegant residence built in 1763. You will be welcomed by Xavier and Vanessa, young couple of engineers in aeronautics , and by Vanessa's mom, Chantal. Here, we love horses, so riders looking for a charming shelter with their horses will be welcome, especially since between the Landes forest and sandy paths they will find paradise (for children, there is Bounty Longmead, the shetland pony) ! But the riders will not be the only ones to find their Eden, because the heated swimming pool with generous dimensions, the landscaped garden and the wooded park of 6 hectares will be the joy of all ! The rooms, classic and inviting to taste the delicacy, combine space and high-end services. Bedding and towels of major brands ensure perfect comfort, as are the bathrooms, very contemporary. A small lounge with library, board games, television, DVD, Nespresso coffee and herbal teas completes the whole. In the morning, we start around a gourmet organic breakfast before embarking on a busy day between visiting the Médoc wineries, walking or cycling, swimming in the ocean, swings in the golf courses around ...
