Louille is a splendid 18^th century stone farmhouse, set in extensive grounds on an elevated site, and is surrounded by 150 acres of undulating countryside with open views over the rural landscape below. It has been totally renovated and restored in the last year to a luxurious standard and offers superb accommodation for large family groups in an idyllic setting.  It is located on the borders of the Lot and the Lot et Garonne, near the tiny village of Thezac.  Tournon d’Agenais (3km) is one of the oldest bastide villages in the region and has a range of local shops, restaurants and amenities.  The local vineyard – Vin de Tsar – is within walking distance, and is well worth a visit.  The nearest airports are Bergerac (50 minutes) and Toulouse  (80 minutes).  Nearest main towns: Fumel, Villeneuve-sur-Lot and Cahors – 10, 25 and 35 minutes.

The main house and  pigeonnier, open barn with Summer kitchen, games barn and pool area have all been sympathetically refurbished to a very high standard, including many eco-features (e.g. solar panels, rainwater harvesting, double-glazed windows, energy-saving lighting). The grounds have recently been landscaped, and include an orchard and a new 12 x 6m pool with surrounding terracing and lawns. The accommodation consists of 8 double bedrooms, which can be arranged as double or twin bedrooms, and there are facilities for additional beds if required.
