Description
Private mansion **** from the 18th century. Architectural jewel of 600m2 with private garden not overlooked, a stone's throw from the historic centre of Condom. 6 spacious bedrooms and 5 private bathrooms for 12 to 15 people. A 700m2 rear park protected from view, with a private swimming pool, terraces, a summer dining room in the orangery and a view over the lower town. A stay where charm and refinement are combined in a region where the art of living is a religion.
On the street side, a spectacular staircase opens onto the adjoining parade rooms and welcomes visitors.
On the garden side, the living room, dining room and library, decorated with stylish furniture, paintings and sculptures by the owner, invite you to rest and contemplate.
All the rooms are characterised by spaciousness minimalist decoration and high ceilings, which leave plenty of room for the expression of the Murano glass lightings that you will find in some of them. A billiard room and a Stein Piano are also available in this luxury holiday retreat.
The first double ensuite bedroom on the ground floor is accessible from the living room and has its own access to the garden. The rest of the 5 bedrooms are located on the large 1st floor of this 600m2 building.
On this 1st floor, 3 bedrooms, including a 5-person duplex suite with mezzanine, have their own bathrooms with wc, while 2 other double bedrooms on the street side and garden side share the last bathroom with walk-in shower and bathtub.
Outside, a 700m2 rear park, not overlooked and offering a large panoramic view of the lower town and the Gascon countryside, has been designed as an italian garden with sculptures, a gravelled walkway, a terrace with garden furniture, a fountain in the outside patio and a glass orangery, used as a summer dining room by the light of candles. The 4m x 9m flat-bottomed private swimming pool (1.50m deep), protected by an alarm, is at the centre of this garden.
The most sporty of our travellers will appreciate the PRIVATE ACCESS to the CONDOM TENNIS CLUB all year round (4 minutes away), reserved in the name of the hotel. 8 traditional or soft clay tennis courts, 4 of which are covered, and brand new padel courts with privileged access are available (information on request).
A second garden at the bottom of the ramparts, “Le Verger”, was recently created and designed as a haven of rest in the making, with the appearance of a monastery garden.
A closed garage, on the ground floor of the house, can be used to store a classic car and private parking is available for 5/6 cars near the orchard. This is a much appreciated privilege in the heart of the historic centre, as you never have to look for a parking space during your stay.
The heart of the Hôtel de Mellet is the kitchen. A spacious, cool and friendly room, directly open to the outside patio, equipped with a traditional cooking piano with double ovens, a steam oven, two separate sinks for greater preparation comfort. A refuge where wine lovers can taste the selection of wines specially designed and blended by the owners for the hotel (for sale on site, prices displayed). And a paradise for gourmets who will experience the excellence of a stay in Gascony, between gastronomy, refinement, calm and pleasure!

Local Area
Every morning, it is by walking, in the same cobbled street of the Hôtel de Mellet that the guests must go to get their croissants. Cyril Garnier runs his bakery and pastry shop there. Only then can they enjoy the thousand delights that Gascony has to offer. Gourmets are advised to go (within walking distance) to the bistronomic table of the “La Taulà” nestled in another beautiful historic building and run by Xavier, a very well known chef. You should also not miss the night markets of producers in Nérac and Condom in summer. Or to stroll around the Sunday morning market in Mézin and ask for Cathy’s vegetables, or on Thursday mornings at the superb open-air market in Eauze and pick up your meat at the Cugini butcher’s…
For those who have the joy of discovering the Hôtel de Mellet with their children, the best discovery will undoubtedly be the costumed visit of the medieval siege camp of Larressingle. All the life-size siege weapons can be handled there! Or maybe it’s the one with the stars in August, the month of shooting stars? The skies of Gascony are renowned for their beauty on these nights.
