The Experience
The house was built in 1803 as a winery for the production of the local deep red Cahors wines and you are surrounded by vineyards, plum orchards and lots of green space so the feel is incredibly peaceful. The walled gardens around the pool have cascading lavender and rosemary beds, and there are sunbathing terraces for a quiet read under a parasol, the cooling pool to slip into, a bar/wine cooler offering local Cahors wines, beers and soft drinks on an honesty system.
Three bedrooms sit in the main house: Malbec with fabulous views down the valley, Merlot and Muscat overlooking the vineyards and gardens; all have terraces, smart bathrooms, desks and Nespresso coffee machines. Breakfast includes seasonal fruits from the garden, freshly baked baguettes, homemade jams, cheeses and charcuterie.
Walk or cycle 2km into splendid, lively Montcuq for numerous cafés, galleries, restaurants, bars and a colourful Sunday market.

Domaine Lapeze is ideally situated in every respect. Its grounds are very beautiful and the views are fine. Its nearest neighbour is a working farm. The setting is rural; yet Lapeze is also within walking distance of lovely Montcuq thus providing the best of both worlds. Esther and Marcel were wonderful, welcoming hosts. They have thought of everything!

After two visits, Domaine Lapeze already feels like a second home to us, where peace, sun, nature & culture go together perfectly. You are warmly welcomed by the friendly, warm and privacy granting host and hostess. You will stay in one of the beautifully furnished rooms of an authentic French wine farm, which the owners have renovated with a lot of love for the building. The house offers a beautiful view of the nearby and cosy village of Montcuq. In addition to the swimming pool, there are also several beautiful authentic villages in the area, with which you can easily fill 2 weeks vacation.

We had an amazing time at Domaine Lapeze! We were enchanted by the stunning views and the spacious gite, tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable, and the surrounding French countryside was breathtaking. The estate offers magnificent vistas overlooking Montcuq and its surroundings. Montcuq itself is a nice French village with charming streets, delightful restaurants and a bustling market. Marcel and Esther, the hosts, are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making sure you feel at home. Domaine Lapeze is the ideal place to relax and unwind. We can't wait to return!

Introducing
Esther & Marcel
Esther and Marcel came from a hectic background in fashion and IT in the Netherlands. They bought the Domaine in 2022 and knew instantly it was the right place for them. Renovations to the property are ongoing and keep them busy but they relish the change of pace and life in rural France. They speak English, French, Dutch and German and are very helpful and friendly.
Stayed for 6 nights and managed to relax completely. Peaceful with stunning views. Took advantage of the pool of course. Esther and Marcel are wonderful. So, lovely hosts, lovely place.
