About this house rental
"Bel Air' is an unassuming typical 18th century colombage farm house, lovingly restored as a family home. A house with a happy welcoming ambiance, it is on the edge of Castillon Debats, one of highest villages in the Gers. The house is set on a ridge with one acre of completely fenced garden - it enjoys spectacular uninterrupted south views across farmland to the Pyrenees. Life centres round the large paved terrace off the newly refitted (2019) kitchen shaded by a big chestnut tree, with a small fenced pond, swings & BBQ or sunbathing at the pool area with breathtaking views to the south. The 10x5 pool is fully fenced and has plenty of sun loungers, umbrellas and various pool toys.

My partner and I, plus our two dogs, stayed for a month at Bel Air in August 2022. We loved every minute of it and would recommend. The house is charming, the area is splendid and we really felt right away at home. The kitchen has everything you need and there are plenty of linens. Communication with Emma and with the caretaker Andy were good leading up to and during
Gascony is not typically touristy in terms of SW France but we didn't run out of things to do for the month.. Maybe a well kept secret of France!
A few specifics:
- the pictures do not do this place justice and should be updated asap!
- the village has very little infrastructure in and of itself but it's well based in the region. You can get to all sorts of neat places within 20-40 minutes. Vineyards, shops, restaurants, etc. Car is required
- the 4th bathroom wasn't really usable as already occupied by some large spiders and accessible through the garden only. I would treat this as a 1 full, two half baths
- I worked for roughly 50% of the month from there and Wifi is strong enough to carry out Zoom calls, etc. It may be worth putting in an extender to get better coverage upstairs and outside. I think if trying to work from the upper floor, it may not have been as smooth
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2022
Lots of space both inside and out - very well equipped kitchen too, and the stunning views from the lovely pool are second to none. Super garden with plenty of wildlife to spot on the doorstep & then in the neighbouring fields and woods. Enjoyed wonderful walks straight from the house. So many charming villages and towns to visit too including Eauze, Lupiac, Aignan all within a short car journey. Castillon Debats is a lovely village - though there is definitely more traffic on the main road than an occasional tractor going by. Found the shower in the family bathroom not great for tall-ish adults but the one in the laundry really good, and plenty of hot water. For a relaxing uncomplicated holiday, the Gers is perfect!

Nous avons passé 2 semaines très agréables en famille dans cette maison pleine de charme. Les extérieurs sont magnifiques et la piscine exposée au soleil toute la journée. Un grand merci à Andy pour son accueil et sa gentillesse.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2018
Pour un séjour au calme: raté : la maison est tout au bord de la route sur laquelle passent, dès 07h00 du matin tracteurs, camions, voitures.
La literie d'une chambre (bleue) a changer dès le moindre mouvement nous déclenchons multiples grincements. Préciser que la TV est uniquement en langue anglaise.
Andy a été très réactif pour solutionner deux petits problèmes d'intendance.
