Experience the Life
of Rural Gascony Elegance
A three word description of Domaine du Pignoulet is “Rural Gascony Elegance” – however Le Pignoulet is so much more than that. It is a retreat in itself, away from the bustle of every day life you will relax the moment you arrive. Le Pignoulet is a large enclosed restored Gascony Farmhouse with a swimming pool and glorious outbuildings and gardens in a rural setting.
THE STORY OF THE HOUSE
Rustic & Restored
The entrance to the house is glorious - with wrought iron gates the pillars of which are guarded by a pair of friendly lions. The sweeping driveway offers plenty of parking and brings you to the front of the house. The painted shutters and masonry give the house a feeling of warmth and grandeur. We have had the joy of watching our children grow up here having holidayed here summer after summer and have made so many happy memories of staying here with friends and family over the last 18 years. James’ parents bought the house in 2000 and fully restored it - we couldn’t let it go and we bought it from them in 2016.
