Fantastic Holiday
Fantastic holiday at this property - location is just stunning, M-L and Steph are so welcoming, and always on hand if you need anything - nothing was too much trouble which made it such a great holiday. Views are spectacular, weather was amazing and we were quite happy just being at the gite because it was so nice. Couldn't have asked for better and meant we all had a really wonderful holiday.

The most heavenly holiday home...
It is so hard to know where to start with this magical place, because it is all spectacular! From the wonderful and very kind hosts, Marie-Louise and Steph and their incredibly thoughtful touches providing toys and delicious treats for us all on arrival, to breath taking 360 views of rolling vines and sunflower fields with the violet outline of the Pyrenees on the horizon to the gorgeous interiors! We explored beautiful Gers, but found it hard to tear ourselves away from the amazing dazzling pool, it's view and the many places to sit and relax, but always in style! The house was perfectly cool and we loved cooking with fresh produce on the Plancha enjoying a local wine watching the honey coloured sunsets, with swooping swallows, chirping crickets and sparkling stars appearing. We had such fun at the Lavarden night market but always happy to return to the peace and quiet of this super place and say goodnight to the adorable ponies. I could have stayed forever, I can see why everyone returns it's just so special. Thank you Marie-Louise and Steph for letting us share your piece of heaven, for looking after us and for the fantastic toys! We definitely hope to return.

Amazing Holiday......Again!
This was our second stay at Liet....and it was just as good as the first if not better. Marie-Louise and Steph were there to welcome us when we arrived and were the same lovely, relaxed hosts. The house was immaculately clean, very well furnished and just as we remembered it. The new covered abri was a fantastic addition to the pool area giving plenty of shade and a relaxing poolside lounge area. If you need a break from the sunshine, the house is shady and cool with lots of space to relax, read a book or play games. From a property point of view this is by far the best we have stayed at, hence coming back....and we will be back again next year! If you want to get out and about there are lot's of medieval towns and villages to visit. Almost every day is market day somewhere. Plenty of vineyards with tours and tasters. Magnificent scenery and on a clear day you can see the pyranees mountains in the distance. You can make your stay as busy or as relaxing as you like. Read the guide book Marie-Louise and Steph have put together and follw their advice on where to eat and visit and you won't be disappointed. Can't wait to get back there! Thanks for a great time!

Stunning surroundings and perfect holiday home
Our family had an amazing time at Liet, where you can have the most relaxing holiday or you can choose to be active and explore the beautiful area. The pool is very hard to leave though! Breathtaking views and so quiet. The house is immaculatly clean and tastefully decorated. Being large, it always felt spacious and cool. The owners, Marie-Louise and Steph, really were so helpful and thoughtful. Easy to communicate with, and provided us with lots of info and tips. Our kids really appreciated the floats for the pool, the ping-pong table and the bikes available. They also wanted to take the gorgeous horses home! Would recommend the lake at Castéra-Verduzan, (inflatable assault course, pedalos, etc) 20min drive, market day in Eauze (Thursday) and Nerac (Saturday), and cycle to Flaran Abbey. We were completely astounded by the art collection there; Renoir, Cezanne, Constable and Dali sculptures to name a few. The art room for children is great too. The Carrefour supermarket in Valence-sur-baise was great for fresh food and wine. A huge thank you to Marie-Louise and Steph who truly go the extra mile for guests and have the loveliest home for us to experience. One day we hope to return!

What an idyllic location and lovely hosts. We were a family of 5 adults and there was plenty of room with a bedroom to spare and great outside spaces. So peaceful and beautiful countryside surrounding the house with no real neighbours but no isolated either. We hope to make it back in the near future!

Unforgettable experience
Stunning and an absolute gem. Upon arriving we were struck by the view and serenity of the property. Situated on a hilltop with amazing views from every window and angle. M-L and Steph were absolute amazing hosts who went out of their way to take care of us (not just the property). This area of Gers is beautiful and not too busy, so we enjoyed driving around to all the quant villages to explore in the AM and enjoyed the stunning pool in the PM. Definitely goes down as on the top rentals we have ever had the pleasure of staying!!!

One of the most beautiful settings for a holiday ever
Absolutely stunning location, huge skies, extensive views, cooling breeze, clean pool, many lovely sitting places, plenty of walking and cycling opportunities, as well as plenty of nearby villages for delicious lunches and Gascony wines. Marie-Louise and Steph are the loveliest hosts we have ever encountered, so welcoming and generous. They clearly love this place and put their heart and soul into it. M-L was also absolutely amazing at helping us negotiate all the uncertainty as to whether we’d ever make it with the virus lockdown only just lifting in time. Words can’t really describe how beautiful and wonderful this holiday was- helped by the most stunning stars (and comet!!!) on the last night! We will really miss this little piece of heaven. Thanks so much M-L and Steph.

Fantasic Property
A beautiful house and a beautiful location. We stayed for 2 weeks with our 5 children and we all loved the house, pool and the amazing scenery. The house was really well equipped with everything we needed. The owners seemed to go the extra mile to make our stay as comfortable as possible, even providing a welcome hamper (including wine!) There were lots of outdoor games, bikes and even a ping pong table in the stables to keep everyone entertained and of course the pool with the stunning views was well used. Marie-Louise and Steph couldn't do enough to help and even managed to get hold of a smaller bike for our youngest so he could go cycling with his Dad. They were on hand to recommend places to eat or to visit. The scenery is stunning and the weather was great too. The children really enjoyed the lake at Castera Verduzan and the water park at Gondrin. Later we went further afield to St Jean De Luz and St Sebastian in Spain (about 2.5 hrs drive) Both have beautiful beaches. We had an amazing, relaxing holiday and would highly recommend this property. We would definitely go back.

This has to be the best holiday rental we have had, as this is a well loved family home rather than just a holiday let. It’s fully equipped with everything you could need, has wonderful views and Marie Louise and Steph are very welcoming and helpful. We loved it so much we have bought a house nearby!

From the sublime to the more sublime
From the moment of our arrival until our sorrowful departure we have enjoyed our stay at this wonderful and carefully lovingly decorated luxurious property in a most beautiful area of southern of France. We knew nothing of the charms of de Gers but by day 1 with the warm welcome of the hosts and the amazing anentities and info book we felt like we would have happily stayed and explored and relaxed there for the entire summer. Before departure upon making our reservation we were fascinated by reading others descriptions in their reviews on this site of the swallows scooping up water and navigating carefully one after another over the swimming pool and were delighted to witness it close up most days while relaxing next to the pool. As well as enjoying a single deer who ventured close by in the evening and the birds that cane to feed at the feeder hanging in The tree outside the kitchen window. We loved exploring as far afield as the routes des lac in the Pyrenees as well as close to home taking picture after picture of the sunflower fields just coming into bloom near masencombe We can’t think of anything we would want to add to a holiday. It was wonderful We are thrilled to discover the delights of cooking with an Eno la plancha and I particularly enjoyed preparing the fish and vegetables and fresh herbs / lemons we had carefully bought in the markets especially Eauze market in your most marvellous kitchen, accompanied by glasses of rose bought locally and van Morrison singing (which was in the hosts CD collection) for evening meals outside as the sun started to gently go down. We almost want to keep our enjoyment to ourselves now that we are home because we intend to go back and wouldn’t want the house to be unavailable because it’s oversubscribed. Thank you to wonderful hosts Marie-Louise and Steph for your thoughtful attention to every detail and friendliness. We loved making friends with your two lovely horses and miss everything about being in Liet.

Beautiful house in a lovely relaxing countryside location
We enjoyed our wonderful family holiday in a truly beautiful area of the Gers during September 2018. We arrived late in the day to a very warm welcome from Marie-Louise and Steph, we also appreciated their generous welcome basket in the Kitchen. Liet is situated in a very peaceful elevated location with 360 degree views around the rolling countryside, you can see the village of Masencome with its chateau and church in the near distance and the Pyrenees on the far horizon. The house was very well equipped for our family, and all the rooms were comfortable, well furnished and beautifully decorated in a French style with great attention to detail in all rooms. In addition, you have views from every room. Marie-Louise and Steph take great care of their home, the large gardens and pool are very well maintained and we also enjoyed fruit from the trees every day during our stay. Another highlight for us was the outdoor facilities: There were badminton rackets, ping pong, table tennis and swing ball. We particularly enjoyed the bikes, cycled every morning for an hour around the countryside. We also enjoyed relaxing in the garden by the pool watching the wildlife and beautiful sunrise and sunsets. We have been visiting our family in the Gers since they moved out to France in 2005, and have stayed in many gites. Liet is the best house we have ever stayed, and has truly has everything to make a perfect family holiday. We also picked Liet because of the ground floor mobility access, my Mum so enjoyed her bedroom and shower room on the level ground floor. We hope to return in the future. Thank you very much.

Perfect House in Perfect Surroundings!
Liet is really something very special. As you drive into the courtyard, you are taken aback by the beautiful views. The view to Mansencome, showing the chateau and church on the horizon, with the fields and vineyards in front of the house, take your breath away every time you see it – be it from the pool, from the kitchen window or (my favourite) from sitting on the outdoor sofa, peering at it under the plane tree. The other views from the house are not too shabby either! Liet is extremely well furnished and is kept in spotless condition. Everything is of good quality, well cared for and very comfortable. The kitchen has absolutely everything that you may need. The gardens and grounds are gorgeous. We spotted hares in the garden, and one morning, there were deer in the field in front of the pool. I particularly enjoyed the visits from the swallows in the evening, swooping down onto the pool to scoop up the odd floundering insect. It was also nice to see sparrows here; for some reason they are a rare sight in my garden in England these days. In the house book, there is a map showing 5 driving/cycling routes, all starting from Condom. We visited one each day. They are well worth a visit, as they take you to lots of beautiful places, many that you would not just ‘come across’ as they are hidden in small lanes and villages. We really enjoyed the pool as it was the same depth for its whole length and a very good depth, shoulder height on someone 5ft 7in. Marie-Louise and Steph came to tend the pool and gardens but always made sure to let us know when they were coming to ensure our privacy. They have really made Liet a very special place and are close by if you need any help. They also left a very generous welcome basket that was much appreciated!

The most wonderful house in a very lovely area! Terrific vacation.
Liet is so very comfortable. All rooms are furnished with care. The kitchen is well equipped. We loved cooking in it and on the large gas bbq. The bedrooms and bathrooms are sumptuous. And the terraces take in the lovely views of the Gascogne countryside with an occasional peek at the Pyrenees. Best are the charming hosts Marie-Louise and Steph who made us feel so very welcome and who have taken such care of Liet and it’s gardens and the pool.

Travel weary, jaded Londoners we arrived. Joyous, restored and plump we left.
What Marie-Louise and Steph offer in their beautiful home is the sort of holiday one dreams about. With its magnificent views from its commanding position there is a calm that takes over. The frantic pace of life seems far away as you awake to the sound of bird song and sunshine pouring in (unless you use the shutters of course). Days spent by the pool soon had us restored to sanity. With the far reaching vista it was hard to read a book, one found oneself gazing and smiling just with the joy of it all. The house, pool, grounds, terraces etc are beautiful. Marie-Louise and Steph have an eye for stylish detail. It is, after all their home, nothing has been forgotten here and I defy anyone who would say differently. This was everything a good holiday should be. Liet has been meticulously well thought out, they have worked, and indeed work constantly to ensure that not a thing is missing, making a good holiday home into a first rate one. I urge anyone thinking of booking to do so, you will not be disappointed. We are certainly returning as soon as we can. Our grateful thanks to you both for making our holiday the best. xxx

Fantastic Holiday - We'll definitely be back!
The pictures give the impression of something amazing but the reality is even better. The views are incredible, especially if you catch the sunflower fields at the right time of year. The pool was easily large anough for us all to splash around in and it was just so peaceful and tranquil. Each day we'd play a game to see how many cars we'd see come up the lane in a whole day. Our record was 6 cars in 1 day! At night, without any light polution from neighboring villages or towns you get the most incredible view of the stars. The house was very large and spacious. The furnishings were chic and to a high standard retaining all the charm of the building overall. The kitchen was huge and really well fitted out which made eating in a pleasure rather than a chore. This felt more like a home than a rental accommadation and very easy to relax in. There are planty of medieval villages to visit within a 30 minute drive. Likewise there are plenty of markets in some of the larger villages and towns as well. Vineyards abound with plenty of tasting (degustation) opportunities. Must see villages are Fources, Larressingle and Montreal. I could go on and on about all the good stuff. There was nothing negative! Many Thanks to Marie-Louise and Steph for making us so welcome. We arrived really late due to flight delays and the car hire company taking an age to hand over the vehicle and they were really kind in waiting for us. They were always on hand if we had any questions or needed advice on where to visit. Thanks you both so much for sharing Liet with us. Don, Sharon, Megan, Ava & cara.

Our stay at Liet, Mansencome July 2017 a 5 star Holiday House in every respect. - Chris & Nicola
We choose to stay at Liet because we wanted quality,tranquility and exceptional views in a private location. This house surpassed all our expectations. It's really like staying in your own five star hotel. The views across the rolling countryside are incredible. We were extremely comfortable and made to feel very welcome by Marie-Louise and Steph who met us upon our arrival and showed us the workings of the house and explained its history.The welcome pack full of goodies was a nice surprise .The quality of the furnishings are impressive and the house is dressed and co-ordinated to a very high standard. There is a great feeling of space and freedom at Liet with everything needed to make your holiday memorable catered for. We look forward to returning next year.
