Hotel de Mellet. 18th century mansion. An architectural gem of 600m2 in a cobbled street just a stone's throw from the historic centre of Condom. 6 spacious bedrooms and 5 private bathrooms with wc for 12 to 15 people. A park of 700m2 protected from view and looking like an Italian garden with a private swimming pool, terraces, a summer dining room in the orangery and a view over the lower town. A stay where charm and refinement are combined in a region where the art of living is a religion.

THE ACCOMMODATION
A huge spectacular staircase opening on the street side onto the adjoining parade rooms welcomes visitors. On the garden side, the living room, dining room and library, all with their period fireplaces, decorated with period furniture and the owner's paintings and sculptures, invite you to rest and contemplate.

A double bedroom on the ground floor, accessible from the living room, with private bathroom and toilet, has its own entrance to the meticulously tended garden decorated with stone sculptures. The rest of the 5 bedrooms can be discovered through the vast floor of this 600m2 building. The spaces are both spacious and minimalist, leaving plenty of room for the expression of the Murano glass lights that adorn some of them, a passion of the owners. Three bedrooms, including a 5-person duplex suite with mezzanine, also have their own bathrooms with toilets, while two other double bedrooms on the street and garden sides share the last bathroom with Italian shower.

A second garden at the bottom of the ramparts was recently created and designed as a haven of rest in the making, with the appearance of a monastery garden.

A closed garage, on the street side, on the ground floor of the house, can be used to store a classic car and a private outdoor parking space is available for 2 cars near the orchard. This is a much appreciated privilege in the heart of the historic centre, as you never have to look for a parking space during your stay.
