About This Villa

On summer evenings, gaze out towards the landscapes of the Lot-et-Garonne as the colours of the sky transform and the swimming pool glistens below, accompanied by good food from nearby markets and local wine.

Rosée Du Matin enjoys a beautiful setting close to the riverside village of Castelmoron-sur-Lot. The owners purchased a derelict farmhouse more than twenty years ago and have taken so much care in its restoration. They live in the main house next door which they also run as a small B&B whilst the former barn, Rosée Du Matin, is now a welcoming 5-bedroom villa with its own private pool and glorious countryside vistas.

It's a lovely gîte whether you are a group of friends or family with four double bedrooms (including one on the ground floor with a four-poster bed) and a twin, each with a modern en suite bathroom with an Italian walk-in shower. The living-dining and kitchen space is all open plan allowing for sociable time together, perhaps making the most of the Smart TV (bring your Disney+ password!).

That said, it’s far preferable to relax beneath the pergolas with a glass of chilled wine in hand looking out to the scenery around you. The heated swimming pool is reached via steps, passing the newly planted herbs, and there is such a great sense of space around you. Children can enjoy the owner’s play area with a slide, swing and climbing frame. There is also access to the shared sauna and hot tub for the adults. Feed the friendly goats, look out for the sheep and geese and collect eggs from the resident hens.

Pass orchards, farmland, woodland, summer sunflowers and little streams leading to beautiful rivers as you explore the area. The Lot River is just 6km away at Castelmoron-sur-Lot where there is a summer beach and canoeing/kayaking opportunities. Sainte-Livrade-sur-Lot and Villeneuve-sur-Lot are also worthy of a visit. All three places host delightful weekly market showcasing some of the delicious produce from the region from tomatoes, strawberries, plums and prunes to goat’s cheese, foie gras and bœuf blond d’Aquitaine.

Further afield, head north towards the bastide towns of the Dordogne or take a boat ride from Bergerac. To the south, the handsome historic town of Agen is a wonderful day out or venture to the picture-perfect villages of the Gers with Larressingle, Fourcès and Montréal just over an hour away.
