Ampeils is set in Gers, France in the midst of the tranquil Armagnac vineyards and fields of sunflowers and rolling hills and on a clear day the Pyrenees mountains can be seen from the garden and terrace. It is an ideal location to visit the nearby bastide towns and villages, particularly Larresingle and the Roman Villa at Serviac. There are a number of the resting places to visit on the pilgrimage route to Compostela, the nearest being just a few kilometres at the Abbey de Flaran. The nearby spectacular Chateau de Cassaigne is full of history and of course you can sample and buy the wonderful Armagnac.
Ampeils is an old stone wine maker's house that has been recently renovated. On the first floor, 3 double bedrooms, one of which has a vaulted ceiling.
An upstairs corridor gives views through the French windows over the garden and vineyards.
The large garden is partly laid to lawn but the remainder is being left natural. A small orchard has recently been planted to the side of the house and at the end of the garden you will find the vineyards where the grapes are grown for the Armagnac.
The nearby river Baise has boat trips from Condom where you can spot kingfishers and spend the day on the river. Come and stay in Ampeils and visit this beautiful part of France which is full of history and nature.
