About this property

Luxury family villa in the heart of Gascony. Large pool & gorgeous view

Your summer holiday rental destination is a complex of two villas and a small chalet, which combined accommodate up to 12 guests (we can add some cods for small kids easily), located in Gascogne, a beautiful area of France. In spring you have a magnificent view of the Pyrenees. The large (11x12 m) endless pool will give you great enjoyment during our warm and sunny summers. The pool has its own large terrace, with deckchairs. Large parasols will give you the choice of shade or sun. Both villas are well furnished with each their individual characteristics. Each villa has their own well located terrace to enjoy your lazy breakfast in the sun or the shade, provided by lovely trees around the villas. The patio at the main villa is the place where to meet for morning coffee. It makes for a diffiult choice, where to enjoy your glass of wine or have the afternoon barbecue. The villas are surrounded by your own private park on the gentle south slope, overlooking the Jazz village of Marciac. Rental rates are for the entire complex combined, so privacy is guaranteed!


Marciac: The town of Marciac is worldwide known for it's annual Jazz Festival, which has drawn Jazz musicians from all over the world to perform here alongside well known names. When there is no Jazz, Marciac is the culinary centre of the Gers region; known for 'Foie Gras' and Armagnac. The vines of the Madiran and St. Mont wines are neighbours to your holiday property.
Only 10 minutes walking from your holiday villas, you will find lovely lake Marciac with walking, dining and watersport facilities.Another 5 minutes more and you are in Marciac centre with its beautiful arcaded walkways, local shops, cafes and restaurants.
At 10 minutes drive you will find the superb 18 holes Golf course Chateau Pallanne and horse riding is at 15 minutes driving ! Both places have a restaurant.
It might be interesting for you to know that you have the possibility to take private lessons in the French language. Your teacher will come to your holiday villa for the lessons.

availability of the property: The two villas of 'Le Vert Coteau' will be rented out together, but are also available for individual use. If this should interest you, please contact the owner directly for availability and rates. Keep in mind however that in this case there might be a family that uses the other villa and also has access to our large pool. A great opportunity to meet new friends. Also in case you are interested in renting the property during the winter or for longer periods it is advisable to contact the owner directly for special rates. Check with the owner for last minute rates/availability. Villas are constructed to be wheelchair friendly, with in the main villa one of the bathrooms specially made to accomodate wheelchairs or elderly guests. We found there seems to be a real demand for such a feature.

The Gers is situated in the heart of Gascony and is also known as the Tuscany of France. The region is one of the most lightly populated areas of France with the purest airquality in Europe. It is delightfully free of traffic, mass tourism, and unspoiled by development.
Far away from the stress and strain of modern living, the Gers is a wonderful place to relax, unwind and enjoy a slower pace of life. The Gersois actualy have the longest lifeexpectation in Europe!
You will find youself surrounded by beautiful undulating landscapes of vibrant sunflower fields, gentle slopes of vines and quaint historical hilltop villages.
The climat in the Gers enjoys long hot summers and short winters that are seldom cold. It has an amazing light, wether a hot sunny afternoon, or a crisp autumnal morning, there is a beautiful warm glow that bathes the land.

The architecture and culture of the Gers is as rich and interesting as its history. There is the beautiful château of Lavardens, the historic abbey of Flaran and the fortified village of Larresingle and Fourcès, all within a short distance of one another ... these are only a few examples of the many places in this area to explore.

The Gers cannot just be lightly touched, it must be lived. Whether you live it through the traditional, local markets in the main towns of Condom, Lectoure, Auch or through the fabulous gastronomic delights on offer in local restaurants, hotels and Chateaux – life here is most definitely good !
If you are looking for an easy pace of life, surrounded by stunning countryside and great climate, the Gers is definitely the place for you.

Location: The location of 'Le Vert Coteau' is absolutely ideal. we are in the center of the Gers. Within one hour you can reach Lourdes at the foothills of the Pyrenees. Also beautiful Pau and Toulouse are within easy reach. It might well be the starting point in your search for your own property in the 'Gers' region. Several of our guests have already done so, and found their own dreamhouse. (References available on request)

What a Beautiful Villa!
We were blown away by this property, endless trees and beauty all around - heaps of space for people to sit and have quiet spaces. The pool was gorgeous - large, cold and with stunning views. Jean Paul, the host, was incredibly friendly and was on hand for any issues. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and will hopefully be returning very soon!

Wonderful
This was exactly what we needed. Relaxation, good facilities, great location and very peaceful. Found we only needed to leave the place just for the supermarket! Marciac is lovely and theres enough within striking distance for days out. Good helpful comms with owners and site manager. Definitely look to return.

Seclusion - Yes, overlooking the valley and walk to lake and town
It is an amazing location, well positioned not too far from Marciac. You as hosts, and Jean Paul Dadema, your brother, are perfect and make the renters sojourns hassle free and relaxing. Jean Paul is welcoming, and professional in explaining all the key aspects and led us from La Peniche to the house on arrival which is secluded in a lovely forested area overlooking the valley, away from the bustle of Marciac. With no neighbours around it is perfect for solitude and gives freedom to roam and enjoy. Oh, and La Peniche is 300 metres away and a great, unusual restaurant, reasonably priced… to include fois gras. Thanks to the cleaning lady, Pierrette and Celine too who were equally timely and efficient at the end and when needed ad hoc. Celine is excellent at BBQ (she did a duck on one of the 3 BBQs you have) and also cooking local French cuisine on another day. The ladies are reasonably priced and we had fun talking to them. The property fulfilled more than what we expected. You provided all baby things including a high chair and cot, and the modern kitchen has good equipment, clean and well maintained. It felt “home from home”; so well decorated. The two villas are full of art and sculptures! A marvellous treat for art lovers …. Even the floor tiles and decorative wall tiles were luxury, and your well-tended garden with so many flowers and trees. We would class it at the luxury end that we normally rent. The property is fully accessible and Jean Paul sought to fulfil any need. The focal point is your 2 tier and massive swimming pool and Jean Paul’s attendance on ensuring a clean and well treated pool at 28/ 30°C. The pool at waist height is so perfect for young swimmers under supervision. We used it morning, and afternoon! The veranda and the 2 paillotes are excellent for sitting outside eating and evening drinks, watching the sunset . And, we could continue in our praises. For the adults and the toddler and child, restaurants are not far (approx.. 300m walking straight down in 3 minutes or by car) and the town is small and void of loud noise. My son and his wife loved the walking and walking…. There are just lots of things to do in the area. The 2 self-contained villas and the chalet compares in the same league as luxury housing in lovely spots of France. We spend a lot of time in great places in Mauritius, Naples, Nice, Crete and Cyprus, Jard sur Mer. We will add this as yet another great hideaway. The property is mostly good for wheelchair

Le vert Coteau, everything we had hoped for!
We were a family of 12 and the accommodation was perfect, each group having its own space of which there was plenty. Both inside and out the property was in excellent condition and very well equipped all round. The swimming pool is fabulous both in size and setting and proximity to Marciac being within walking distance is a big plus. Due to the property's setting privacy was complete and with views of the Pyranees, even in the summer, really made our holiday. Thanks to Jean Paul for local information and a warm welcome. We hope to visit Le vert Coteau again in the not too distant future. Thankyou.

Best place for families, great accessability !
This is the third time our family has spent our summer holidays at this place. We have been here for 3 and 4 weeks at a time and have always been two families travelling together. 11-12 people in all from 10 to 60 years old. Everybody in every age loves this place and from year to year the facilities has been developed and is just getting better and better. One of our three daughters is sitting in a wheelchair, but has accessability everywhere with even a special designed toilet and bathroom for wheelchair users. There are indoor an several outdoor places to enjoy the meals and even an outdoor kitchen and grill in a nice patio by the pool. The pool is great and bigger than usual with a fantastic view over the area around Marciac. One of the nicest things is that the place is lying on high ground, in walking distance to Mariciac, but quite isolated from noice and insight. You feel that you have a large space for yourself, surrounded by garden and forest, but close to everything. Marciac offers nice restaurants, several bakeries (mmm) and cafe's, and is really a nice and quite place. It has a marked in the square once a week and of course the Jazz festival which we enjoyed this year in august. This was really one of the best festivals we've been to. Even if you don't enjoy jazz, you can enjoy the life, all different kind of music, a lot of nice places to sit down and enjoy different food and drinks. We spent a lot of time just walking around. For those who anjoy som sports in the morning there is a lot of different hiking and jogging paths, both in the forest with nice shadow and around the lake at the bottom of the hill. We were jogging/walking every morning through forest, wineyards and around the lake. The area has everything you want, and the distance to the Pyrinees is just a hours drive away. A must is to take the car and go to Pic Du Midi. You can make it a "roundtrip" by the Col du Tourmalet which is one of the hardest routes in Tour De France. Its a lot to expierience of views, caves and small nice cities. You can also go rafting and climbing trees in this area, we spent a day just climbing trees with the kids. (Acro Parc, Saint Lary) It's not really much more to say, you will have to go to this place several times to really discover all the qualities, so we really recommend that you do...we surtenly will !

About the host

Working for one of Europes biggest Tourist organisations and tour operators, we think we have a fair idea about what our guests desire for their well earned vacation when they decide to come to us.

Why they chose this property

Fell in love with it when we first saw it in 1999. In the worst time of the year, January. If you like a new property in winter without the beauties of the summer foliage and the warmth of the Southern French summer, it must be good. And it was..... We feel totaly at home there, in winter with the big fireplace as well as the summer with out outdoor kitchen and gorgeous pool.
We originaly were looking for something closer to the coast, but this place proved to be so much better. The space, the feeling of safety, you don't feel anymore in the big tourist centers. The friendlyness of the local population and the peace and quiet we find here in our hectic lifes. Why are we renting out our place? Well. due to our work in tourism, we are occupied when others have their holidays. It was a pity to let the place and the pool go unused during our beautiful summers. This is why our guests benefit from this beautiful villa in Gascony.

What makes this property unique

When you sit in our cool livingroom in summer with the arched windowdoors wide open and see the Pyrenees in the background. Or have your afternoon tea in the outdoor cuisine close to the pool. Two images that make me feel totally at home. The newly constructed patio with fireplace is great to enjoy at night, or for a comfortable breakfast with the family. The outdoor kitchen is perfect for an afternoon barbecue and offers plenty seats for all of you to enjoy dinner there.
We added a small fitnessroom with large windows. You might not want to think about fitness during your vacation. But if you need it, it's there....... The small chalet we recently added is great to accomodate 2 even 4 of our younger guests. a bit more privacy and even your own terrace if you want some peace and quiet. The terrace is build in such a way, it gives the impression of a treehut.
