Property Details

Giulietta is a 17th century cottage on an idyllic chateau Domaine with a large heated pool and a fully equipped health spa. The Domaine de Peyloubere is a beautiful 17th century Gascony estate set in 35 acres of woodland, lakes, gardens and tall trees. Giulietta is one of 5 cottages on the estate and is named after the adored wife of Mario Cavaglieri, the artist who made Peyloubere his home in the early part of the last century. Giulietta is a charming, spacious cottage on two floors and has been completely renovated and re-equipped. It is suitable for up to six people.
The shady walled garden and terrace is ideal for barbecues or private sunbathing and leads through wide french windows into the modern kitchen. Here, the oven, hob, work surface and storage cupboards are housed in a central island unit and a wooden staircase leads up to the first floor. Wide steps lead down from the kitchen into the spacious living room where exposed stone walls, rustic beams and the iron manger are evidence of its previous use. Large french windows look out over the rose garden. There is a WC on the ground floor.
On the first floor there are three spacious bedrooms, two with twin beds and the master bedroom (shown above) with a large 150cm double bed. All have the original polished wooden floors and the master bedroom has an ensuite shower room and external stone stairway and balcony facing the evening sunset. There is a separate bathroom with WC and a useful storage cupboard.
