Description of holiday b&b in Castillonnes, Aquitaine

Maison de Poitiers is situated on the corner of a medieval square in the 12th century Bastide village of Castillonnes, in the Lot et Garonne. The Lot et Garonne area is famous for its food, wine, history and its unspoilt beautiful countryside.

The Lot et Garonne as been decsribed as
�A blessed little corner of south-west France made up of gently rolling hills, fields of corn and sunflowers, winding roads empty of cars and pretty little towns and villages, where people always have time to talk to you".

We offer guests a choice of five stunning individually designed bedrooms with beautiful furnishings and state of the art bathrooms.

Whether in the intimate dining room or in the privacy of one of our spacious rooms, we invite you to experience something different, with style, charm and a colourful history.

The building started life as a hotel for horse traders in the late 18th century but for the last 40 years or so it has been used as a private family home.

In 1961 the building was featured in the French movie �Tout L'or Du Monde� (All the gold in the world) staring Rene Clair and Bourvil.

The village was also featured in the movie as the director's family also live in the area.

If you want to experience life in an unspoilt yet charming french village then this is the village for you.
