プライベートの川とプールがある家族や友人との休日に最適なスポット

My name is Margarita. I am originally from south west of Russia, the region is most famous for Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014. I traveled and worked in the Middle East, Europe and the UK. I fell in love with Moulin De Marrast in 2003 and since then the cottage has been restored and the Mill is yet to be renovated. Gascogne is my passion. I love this part of France: the people, the food and it's history. We go to our Mill as often as we can to spend time in the nature, cook and swim and go on the river on our kayaks. My family loves staying at the Mill, although often it's a working break, as there's is always something to do, but the peace, climate, food and its tranquility gives us strength to go back to London and face the everyday. Often we are joined by our friends with children. Children adore this property, my daughter comes up with fairy stories as surroundings fire up her imagination. We often take a ferry and drive to the house, there is much freedom and no restriction on luggage this way. It's a unique place for family and friends to enjoy. There is a lot to do on the property and in the neighboring villages. Gastronomy is exquisite and I love cooking all sorts of food, so it's a perfect combination. Family time and harmony is my priority and it's very easy to have both at Moulin de Marrast. We take some day trips to Spain or the Atlantic coast, however, often it's just time for me, my family and friends - precious moments we can't have enough of.

There are only 4 mills like ours in France. It's a monumental landmark on the property but is yet to be restored. The miller's cottage is about 200 years old as well as the Mill, full of traditional features and restored to offer all modern comforts. Both buildings are of a landaise "sponge cake" cladding, which gives the rooms a unique regional touch and character. While being located a couple of kilometres from the nearest village, the house has large private terrain, so it's very quiet, the river is good for fishing, kayaking or just bird watching. The property is also a home to a bird sanctuary. The swimming pool is build as a lagoon so it's shallow at one end and deep at the other-great place to socialise and chill knowing that children can safely splash too. There are several dining areas to enjoy. River side sunsets are pretty spectacular. Villages are very close and all the amenities are nearby. Fantastic place to get away from it all and enjoy nature and a good company. It's a great place for kayaking on the river, fishing, walking and cycling, visiting local markets, going for wine tours and Armagnac distilleries. Our neighbours in the Chateaux de Marrast has listed their beautiful garden and now give tours in May and June for 5 euros per person in the afternoons. Their garden is a must see and is being called The best garden in Aquitaine. A day can be as busy or as lazy as one decides, either way it's a unique place to enjoy.
