Bright and Breezy Holiday House with Large Garden, Pool and Private Yoga Studio - Las Laubios Reviews

Highly recommended
This is a splendid house on the edge of a small town Sauveterre la Lemance and on a quiet road which continues through softly wooded roads. The house hides the fact that behind the frontage is a child safe large garden; big enough to play badminton or play football. A large fenced off wildlife pond has fish and other wildlife such as damselflies. The pond is fed by a small stream with tall rustling plants runs alongside the house. Then to top it all there is a good sized swimming pool, spacious seating area and a gazebo to shelter from the sun. When the evening draws in it's an ideal place to sip gin and tonic, or whatever might be your tipple. The house itself is spacious, with the light pouring in. It is very well equipped, the kitchen having enough of everything you would need, the laundry room, the dining room close enough not to lose contact with each other and the sitting room which is large and comfortable. Did I mention the balcony overlooking the garden and pool, an added bonus. The area is close to places of interest such as the prehistoric sites, chateaux and gardens. There a some delightfully pretty Medieval towns nearby too, such as the Bastide town of Monflanquin. We spent 4 years holidaying at Las Laubios no found both Sam and Alun to be very helpful, hospitable and unintrusive hosts Would we recommend Las Laubios; we most certainly would.

The perfect family getaway
Las Laubios is the perfect getaway for families. Samantha will warmly welcome you and offer all the help you need to have a wonderful and relaxing holiday. The house is beautifully presented and offers all the home comforts that you could wish for. The pool is great for swimmers and non-swimmers alike. The garden and grounds offer hours of exploring for teenagers and preteens. And finally, the balcony overlooking the garden, stream and pool is the perfect sunny spot for taking it all in (and is close to the fridge for the occasional top-up)! Highly recommended.

Amazing visit, beautiful yoga studio and home! We highly recommend Las Laubios in the south of France! It's a good time for self reflection and growth. Well Done Sam & Alun!

A visit to Yoga Loft Retreat will invigorate your mind, body and soul. From the gorgeous accommodations and amenities to the superior hospitality Sam provides to her guests, this Retreat has been nothing short of a regal experience. Book a Yoga class! Sam's knowledge and expertise of this discipline combined with her ability to make a newbie feel comfortable had me hooked after just one class. From the dream inducing beds, luxurious lodgings, availability of electric bike rentals and beautifully groomed grounds to the very private yet convenient location, this is the place to vacation.

We had a wonderful week here in this beautiful house. It was well equipped and very comfortable. The grounds are a very attractive and offer many places to relax as well as to enjoy a swim in the heated pool. Nearby are a variety of interesting places to visit too. We felt totally spoiled and thank Sam for making us feel so welcome.

Wonderful relaxing holiday in beautiful Southwest France. The property is super comfortable and well-equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. The pool is in a gorgeous setting with lots of room around it to lounge and socialise. Fantastic place!

Highly recommend this property!!
Loved so many things: the decor, the spacious pool/yard, the choice of indoor & outdoor dining tables, the sitting area by the kitchen so you can socialize while you're cooking, the friendly helpful management, the walking path across the street to take morning walks through the woods, and the peaceful surroundings!! It was exactly what I needed and highly recommend it :)

Stunning house in stunning setting!
This wonderful house was just perfect for our 40th wedding anniversary celebration with our 3 sons, their wives and our 3 grandchildren (two teenagers and a 3 year old.) i.e. 10 adults in total. Las Laubios is beautifully situated in an extremely tranquil area yet only 1 mile away from the village of Sauveterre La Lemance. The setting of the house, overlooking gardens , a large pond and the pool, is stunning., This large old property has plenty of character, being built of local stone, and has been modernised throughout. It is the home of the owners, Sam and Alun, who made us most welcome and they could not have been more helpful throughout our stay. Our teenagers were very happy to occupy the 2 bedroom apartment at the lower level where they were completely self contained with their own well equipped kitchen, bathroom and lounge. The main house, on the two upper floors, is also very well equipped with everything a large group would want. We had several big dinner parties and the kitchen facilities were more than adequate. Similarly the laundry facilities on the lower floor coped with all our needs. Being a large group we made good use of the extensive grounds where there is shade and plenty of space for ball games etc. . Everyone really enjoyed the swimming pool which is a good size, regularly maintained by the owners, and the thermal cover maintained the heat very effectively. As we had a toddler with us the pool alarm was very reassuring. Breakfast on the large south facing balcony was an excellent start to the day and there are numerous other locations around the house and in the garden where there are tables and chairs for dining or just relaxing, including a gazebo which overlooks the pool. With temperatures in the 30’s (August) we made good use of the loungers in the garden and around the pool. This is an excellent location for sightseeing and there is plenty to see and do without travelling too far. We brought bikes with us and much enjoyed cycling along the quiet roads. The early morning ride to the village baker was a popular trip.

We had a great week with friends, the property is magnificent, the very large garden with swimming pool and shaded areas, the deckchairs, the poufs enchanted us every day!! The rooms are very beautiful and well insulated. The living rooms are very nice and well decorated. Nothing is missing to spend a magical week! Sam is also very available and friendly. We highly recommend this little paradise!

If you're thinking about staying here, just do it!
This home and setting were perfect for our family reunion. The weather was very hot when we arrived, so the pool was welcome relief, and the house was set up perfectly so that everyone in our extended family had space and privacy. Sam was a perfect host, and had thought of everything. She was available at all times, but was very discreet about leaving us to enjoy our family time together. If we could have stayed longer, we'd still be there.
