The house
In the beautiful Lot-et-Garonne just south of the Dordogne, 2 holiday homes hidden in the greenery. Ideal for holidays with several families (up to 16 p). There is plenty of space to do things together and yet there is also enough privacy for everyone. In the summer months of July and August, the houses are only rented together! Outside the months of July and August, either 'maison d'Isabel' or the whole with the 2 holiday homes is rented out, guaranteeing complete privacy.
The prices mentioned here are for the rental of the whole domain, with the 2 houses. For the rental of only maison d'Isabel outside the high season: contact us or consult gites-lamoulinal.eu
The houses are located in a 1.7-hectare estate, completely surrounded by greenery, and yet only a few km from a village (Castillonnès) with a supermarket, shops, cafés, restaurants,... On the estate, young and old can have fun in the large swimming pool, on the volleyball court, at the ping-pong or pool table, the petanque court, the football pitch or on the swing, or ... with a book or the ipad under a tree. From 2025, the pool will be heated (ideal in the run-up to the season (spring) and in autumn).
The pool house, built in 2023, with a large lounge area, a fridge and an outdoor kitchen near the pool, invites you to enjoy delicious aperitif moments together! Extra large terrace with enough furniture to eat together near the outdoor kitchen. There is also a herb garden with fresh herbs near the outdoor kitchen.
A game of petanque is also no problem with the newly built petanque court. In the barn next to the petanque court, entertainment continues at the pool table. Something for everyone!
NEW: charging station for electric cars on site
NEW: carport for 2 cars, plenty of parking space on the property and close to the houses

Reviews
Peter Degadt from Deinze,
La Moulinal is een prachtsite, en ideaal voor een (grote) familie van 3 generaties. De uitbreidingen en vernieuwingen zijn een schot in de roos. Mooi en functioneel, met gebruik van duurzame materialen , en dan een zwembad, voldoende groot voor waterpret van joelende kinderen (en volwassenen). Achter dit alles zit een doordachte aanpak, dat voel je. Ook de streek is fantastisch. Een authentiek stukje Frankrijk.
Comment from Isabel Lootens
Bedankt Peter, het was een plezier jullie te mogen verwelkomen in La Moulinal!
Famille Marc from Andernos les Bains,
Le gîte est magnifique, spacieux, (chacun peut trouver son espace), fonctionnel, très belle qualité des équipements. Tout le confort est au rendez-vous. On s’y sent comme chez soi.
L’environnement est calme, la nature est présente et belle. La piscine, le billard, le terrain de boules, le ping pong ont été bien appréciés sans oublier les apéros dans le pool house.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille (14 personnes) , tous heureux de nous retrouver pour un anniversaire.
Merci la Moulinal , nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir 🤣Comment from Isabel Lootens
Merci beaucoup pour ces gentils mots! Nous vous acceuillerons de nouveau avec grand plaisir!
Familie Daneels from Itegem,
We hebben enorm genoten van ons weekje in La Moulinal! Hoewel het reeds mid september was, konden we nog dagelijks genieten van aangenaam zwembadweer. De vakantiewoning was pico bello in orde. Vooral de nieuwe lounge meubelen in de poolhouse en de petanque waren erg in trek bij de studerende jeugd. Als ouders hebben we vooral genoten van de wandelingen en fietstochten (met gehuurde elektrische fietsen) in het heuvelachtige landschap.
Restaurants, food & wine
In this region, they know the art of good food. No wonder with the variety of local products: tomatoes from Marmande, prunes from Agen, wines, 'foie gras', strawberries, melons,... You can find them on the numerous local markets in the region, where it is lovely to linger, or you can taste them in a local restaurant or during a visit to a farm.
We highly recommend the cosy night markets (Villeréal, Monflanquin,...), where you choose a nice plate at one of the stalls, buy a bottle of wine and take a seat at one of the long tables to enjoy the food together with local people and other tourists, while a band provides the necessary musical entertainment. Super cosy, delicious and very democratic prices!
Activities
It is blissful to relax in or around the large, south-west-oriented swimming pool (6m*12m) with roman steps. The pool is secured with a shutter. This swimming pool is exclusively available to the guests of both gîtes. There are plenty of sun loungers and the terrace and lawn around the pool offer plenty of space. You can also fully relax in the pool house with lounge area and fantastic views of the pool and green surroundings and there is even an outdoor kitchen. The pool and pool house are illuminated, creating a moody atmosphere and perhaps tempting you to take a night dive on balmy summer evenings. After swimming, the pool can also be covered with an automatic shutter.
Furthermore, there is a spacious football pitch with goal, a volleyball net, a swing and a ping-pong table set up under cover, which many of our guests enjoy using. Since 2023, there is also an area for petanque and a games room with a pool table (l'atelier).
The region is a fantastic holiday destination. There is the varied and rolling landscape, with vineyards, orchards, forests and sunflower fields, which is why this region is also called 'Little Tuscany'. Moreover, its historical heritage is particularly rich and well-preserved over the centuries. Recommendations include the castle of Monbazillac, the abbey of Cadouin, and the medieval villages nearby such as Castillonnès (4km), Issigeac (10km), Monflanquin (15km), Villerèal (14km) and Monpazier (25km). The magnificent castles of Biron and Bonaguil are also worth a visit.
On foot, on horseback or by bike ... plenty of marked trails to explore this beautiful sun-drenched region. Teenagers will love canoeing or kayaking down the Vézère or Dordogne rivers. Golf enthusiasts are also well catered for: one of the best golf courses in SW France is less than 15km away. In Castillonnès, at ~5km, you can play tennis (information at the tourist office).
The estate is very quiet, surrounded by meadows and nature. Yet the nearest village, Castillonnès, is only 4km away. In Castillonnès there is a supermarket, and several bakers, butchers, restaurants, pharmacists, doctors and a weekly market on Tuesdays.
In the holiday homes there is an extensive documentation folder available to our holidaymakers, with tourist and practical info.
It is possible to rent bicycles. Your bicycles are delivered and collected free of charge from your holiday home (adult bicycles, children's bicycles, bicycle helmets, child seats, etc.).
