A Retreat in the Heart of Gascony

Domaine de Lexis

The Property

Located in the Gers, Armagnac country, South West of France, Lexis houses three buildings on the property. Nothing in the house follows a straight line as the origin of this house dates back to three hundred years and all of the furniture is antique or bespoke. There is one permanent guest on the property; Whitty the cat, who regards herself as being the proprietor of all three dwellings and has the right to every bed. You, naturally have the right to shut her out!

Maison de Gardien

This house is a decorator's delight. Filled with original and unique pieces, it generates a feeling of a time when life was slower and we had more time to linger. Mixing the practical with a collection of sensitively curated furnishings this is more of a home than a holiday house.

Pigeonnier

Thé bijou, boho Pigeonnier is a sensitive conversion from a rustic utility building into a perfect jewel of a cottage. Thought has been put into every detail and this means that beauty has been created while keeping practical details uppermost.

Manoir

The main residence and has 2 guest bedrooms, and is where host, Miv resides. (please enquire directly via email or form)

Lexis is the latest iteration of Miv’s design work, and where she currently calls home.
