Gorgeous Family-Friendly Villa in Southwest France - Sleeps up to 10

Welcome to Le Beau Pierre

Picture this: you’re on the terrace with a glass of Côtes du Marmandais. The kids are playing ping-pong, the sun is slipping behind the oak trees, and someone is lighting the barbecue. Nobody is watching the clock.

Le Beau Pierre isn’t an ordinary vacation rental. It’s our family home, and we designed it to give you what we all look for when we travel: space, calm, beauty, and the rare feeling of truly settling in.

The house has exposed stone, generous rooms and lots of natural light, so it feels authentic but comfortable. The way the light moves through the house is truly magical. There are books on the shelves, art we love on the walls and games in the cupboards. Everything here has a soul and a point of view.

Four bedrooms sleep up to 10 in comfort:

+ Primary suite with a double bed and private bathroom, your retreat
+ Bright double bedroom
+ Kids’ bunk room with four beds they’ll remember for years
+ Flexible room with two singles or one king (180 cm). Tell us which you’d like and we’ll set it up before you arrive.

There are three full bathrooms plus a separate toilet, with fluffy towels, quality toiletries and a hairdryer in every adult bedroom. And our promise: you’ll never run out of toilet paper.

THE KITCHEN

We really cook here, so you’ll find everything you need for proper meals: gas stove, oven, large fridge, coffee machine, sharp knives, quality pans, baking dishes, wine glasses and a corkscrew. The pantry has olive oil, spices, pasta, rice and lentils, so help yourself. Cook a feast, or just make buttered pasta at 11 p.m. after a long day by the pool. Both are perfect.

OUTSIDE: 4 PRIVATE HECTARES (ABOUT 10 ACRES)

Meadows, hundred-year-old trees and woods to wander in. Let the kids explore, go for a walk, or simply enjoy something that has become a real luxury: space and silence.

+ Swimming pool with loungers and towels
+ Summer kitchen beside the pool, so you can make lunch without leaving the sun
+ Two terraces: a sunny one for lazy breakfasts and a shady one for long aperitifs (you’ll pick a favorite, then change your mind)
+ Charcoal barbecue, the only real way to grill
+ Wood-burning pizza oven
+ Private parking for 3 cars
+ High-speed Wi-Fi, washer and dryer

FOR FAMILIES

After years of traveling with our own kids, we know what most rentals are missing. Here, life with little ones is easy:

+ Crib and high chairs on request
+ Toy cupboard for all ages and kid-friendly dishes
+ Pool toys, a swing, a ping-pong table and a pétanque set
+ Books, puzzles and board games for the evenings

And then there’s the bunk room they’ll still be talking about in ten years.

YOUR ARRIVAL

A welcome basket will be waiting with a bottle of our wine and treats from our favorite local artisans. The corkscrew and tote bag are yours to keep. Christine, our local concierge, will greet you in person, show you around and make sure you have everything you need to start relaxing right away.

A FINAL WORD

Le Beau Pierre grew from a simple belief: a vacation home should have a soul. We hope you’ll feel the life in these walls, the care behind every detail and the warmth of a place made with love.

Slow down. Explore. Eat well. Sleep deeply. Let kids be kids. And if you need anything, we’re only a message away.
