2 Gites with swimming pool

surrounded by a parc of 4 acres

LA BAKENIA, our house, is situated between Bordeaux and Toulouse, just below the Dordogne in the Lot et Garonne department, near the pretty town of Villeneuve sur Lot. It has 2 comfortable cottages and a large swimming pool on a 5¼ acres beautifully landscaped park. Bergerac airport is half an hour away.

We, Kees and Marjo bought this beautiful house in 2017. One of the previous owners was a Bask. In the Basque country, BAKENIA means a place where life is good, people are hospitable and you feel happy.

Department 47, Lot et Garonne, is a beautiful area, with a subtropical climate, slightly hilly and therefore ideal for beautiful cycling and walking tours.

In addition, la Bakénia is less than 2 km from Villeneuve sur Lot, a town with about 25,000 inhabitants with all kinds of amenities, such as large shopping centers, cosy markets, a cinema, museums and even a theater, a small sports airfield and a horse racing track!



Our 2 gites with airconditioning, called "Joini" and "Nissou", are ideal for 2 person families. Possibly there is room for 4 people. Around the large pool of 11 x 5 meters you can relax and use our summer kitchen with BBC. In our large garden you look for the shade and soak yourself away in one of the hammocks. Hiking and cycling maps, which depart from our home, are already waiting for you in an extensive information folder.
