E-mail Print
"Le Figuier" (The Fig Tree) offers good value self-catering accommodation with shared swimming pool. Located in the medieval village of Larressingle - a quiet corner of Gascony in south west France, yet only 5 minutes by car from the market town of Condom.

Le Figuier - Cottage #2Created from the former stone barn with exposed stone walls and ceiling beams throughout, Le Figuier offers comfortable holiday accommodation for 4-5 people. It can also be booked with Le Tilleul for large groups of up to 13 people.

On the fully-tiled ground floor, the cosy dining kitchen is fully equipped for up to 5 people. A washing machine is provided in the integral garage. Off the kitchen is a huge newly fitted all-white shower-room. To the other side of the kitchen, a passageway leads to a small bedroom with bunk bed and a built-in vanity unit.

A magnificent oak staircase with terracotta tiled treads leads upstairs from the kitchen. The large attic bedroom has shuttered windows facing north, south and west and is furnished with a large double bed, and a single bed. There is a sitting area set around a stone fireplace (with wood-burner insert) with two comfy armchairs and a sofa. A TV with integral radio, and satellite connection is provided. In addition a DVD player is available.

Le Figuier - raised garden levelTo one side of the house is a large private garden and patio with wrought-iron furniture and brick-built barbecue. The garden slopes gently and is mainly grass, lined with a variety of fruit trees, and offers plenty of space for relaxing in the sun or for a game of badminton or boules, or perhaps a snooze under the shade of the fabulous fig tree after an alfresco lunch.

Not shown in the photos is a graceful wooden pergola that provides shade over the patio. There is also a brick barbecue station.

Two cars can be parked at the top of the garden.

On the other side of the house a glazed door opens onto the courtyard area and the salt-water swimming pool, shared with residents of Le Tilleul. The pool is a constant depth of around 1.7m, with steps across the full width at one end. It is 8m x 4m, and the pool area is fully paved with warm terracotta tiles, and has ample space at one end for sunbathing on the teak sun-loungers. Pets are welcome (max. 2), but please refer to the terms of letting for full details.
