With two separate dwellings, Balarin provides the perfect accommodation for larger parties with two different groups that wish to holiday together while still being able to enjoy their own privacy.<\/p>\n<p>These two comfortable cottages on the Balarin estate are surrounded by the idyllic countryside of the Gers region, where meadows, vineyards, forests and hillsides, scattered with villages laden with history and character, stretch as far as the eye can see.<\/p>\n<p>The closest town is Montr\u00e9al, a bustling town that\u2019s in love with great food, great wine, compelling art and truly unforgettable festivals. Montr\u00e9al is just five kilometres from Balarin and you\u2019ll never get tired of visiting this characterful French town, though we couldn\u2019t blame you for being a tad reluctant to leave the alluring grounds of Balarin!<\/p>\n<p>These two charming cottages are approximately 12 metres apart. They are situated on a private drive that leads to the chateau. Both Rose and Wisteria have their own terraces but guests can gather as one party and take advantage of the two barbecues and wine and dine at their leisure in the ample parkland that belongs to the estate.<\/p>\n<p>Strolling across the large garden to the property\u2019s private swimming pool is a delight in itself. Being a fenced in pool, adults can have peace of mind that young children playing in the grounds can\u2019t access the pool on their own.<\/p>\n<p>Both cottages are tastefully decorated, combining traditional features and furnishings with a more contemporary style, crafting a cosy, welcoming ambience that you will not want to leave!<\/p>\n<p>Though with the bustling town of Montr\u00e9al and the circular village of Fourc\u00e8s both just five kilometres away, Balarin has plenty of \u2018must see\u2019 municipalities on its doorstep. In fact, five of the \u2018Most Beautiful Villages of France\u2019 can be found in the Gers region, two of which are Montr\u00e9al and Fourc\u00e8s.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>To view photos of the stunning Balarin and to check availability and make a booking, visit the <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vintagetravel.co.uk\/villa_details.cfm?p_id=2535\"><strong><em>property\u2019s webpage here<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vintage Travel is thrilled to add Balarin to our portfolio of properties In South West France.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":7067,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[801],"tags":[1038,802,1039],"class_list":["post-7066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-villas-in-france","tag-balarin","tag-france","tag-gers"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
