L'Ancienne Écurie du Château Lezian

A beautifully restored luxury château retreat in the heart of the Madiran vineyards.

Welcome to L'Ancienne Écurie du Château Lezian, an exceptional holiday home nestled within a 10 hectare peaceful private estate in the beautiful Hautes-Pyrénées of South West France. Surrounded by vineyards, rolling countryside, grazing meadows and woodland, this beautifully restored former château stable offers the perfect setting for families and friends seeking luxury, tranquillity and authentic French charm.

Following an extensive three-year restoration, every part of the property has been thoughtfully renovated to combine traditional character with modern comfort, creating an elegant countryside retreat where lasting memories are made.

Luxury Accommodation:

The house comfortably accommodates 10 to 12 guests across five beautifully appointed bedrooms.

Each bedroom has been individually designed with French antique furniture, luxurious cotton linens, premium mattresses and its own stylish travertine en-suite shower room. One family bedroom also includes bunk beds, making it ideal for children, while one bathroom features a bath suitable for babies and young children.

Air conditioning throughout the property ensures complete comfort during the warmer summer months.

The spacious, fully equipped kitchen includes a Smeg five-burner gas hob, double oven and everything needed to prepare relaxed family meals or elegant dinners. A separate utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer provides every convenience for longer stays.

Outdoor Living at its Finest:

Life at Château Lezian is designed to be enjoyed outdoors.

The centrepiece is the magnificent 10 × 5 metre private swimming pool, protected by a retractable dome cover so swimming can be enjoyed whatever the weather.

Our fully equipped summer kitchen makes outdoor entertaining effortless, featuring:

• Argentinian barbecue grill
• Traditional pizza oven
• Paella burner
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Bar with seating

Gather around the large outdoor dining table, comfortably seating 10–12 guests, for leisurely breakfasts, long lunches and unforgettable evenings beneath the stars.

As the sun sets, enjoy films in the outdoor poolside cinema with a glass of local Madiran wine.

Guests can also enjoy:

• Table tennis
• Pétanque
• Archery
• Bicycles for exploring the surrounding countryside

The nearby village is only a five-minute walk away and offers a brand-new tennis court, pharmacy, bar/café and local shop for necessities, all easily reached on foot or by bicycle.

A Peaceful Estate:

L'Ancienne Écurie du Château Lezian is set within a peaceful 10-hectare private estate, including approximately one acre of beautifully landscaped gardens surrounding the accommodation. Beyond the gardens lie peaceful grazing meadows for our horses and ponies, mature woodland and beautiful countryside.

One of the property's most charming features is our friendly horses and ponies. Guests are warmly invited to visit the stable yard, meet them, stroke them and enjoy grooming them. Children especially love spending time with the animals and watching them grazing peacefully in the surrounding fields, often visible from the windows of the house.

Please note that horse riding is not offered.

Discover the Madiran Wine Region:

Located beside the celebrated Madiran wine region, Château Lezian is perfectly positioned for discovering one of South West France's best-kept secrets.

We are delighted to recommend and arrange visits to local vineyards, where guests can enjoy wine tastings and meet passionate winemakers producing exceptional Madiran and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh wines.

The surrounding countryside also offers wonderful walking, cycling, traditional French markets, flea markets (vide-greniers), historic villages and excellent local restaurants celebrating the rich gastronomy of South West France.

The Pyrenees are within easy reach for unforgettable day trips, while the historic city of Pau, Lourdes and many picturesque villages make ideal excursions.

Thoughtful Hospitality:

From the moment you arrive, we aim to make your stay effortless and memorable.

Every booking includes a generous welcome hamper featuring seasonal fruit, local produce and regional wines.

During your stay we are delighted to offer:

• Morning bakery collection service
• Wine tasting recommendations and bookings

Perfect for Every Occasion:

Whether you're planning a multi-generational family holiday, celebrating a special birthday, enjoying a reunion with friends or simply escaping the pace of everyday life, L'Ancienne Écurie du Château Lezian offers a unique blend of history, luxury and authentic French hospitality.

Spend your mornings watching horses grazing peacefully beyond the gardens. Explore vineyards and local markets during the day. Return for an afternoon beside the pool before gathering in the summer kitchen to prepare dinner together. As darkness falls, raise a glass beneath the stars before settling into the outdoor cinema for a memorable evening with family and friends.

These are the moments that become treasured memories.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to L'Ancienne Écurie du Château Lezian and sharing this very special corner of southwest France with you.

About the host

Hosted by Angela Thompson

Host profile image
In 2015 I moved with my husband and two young daughters to the South of France to begin a new adventure. We travelled from our previous home in North Yorkshire in a huge borrowed horse box, driven by my husband with our beloved horses, ponies and dog aboard! The learning curve was steep but we don't regret the move one bit.

Why they chose this property

Initially, we rented a property with land for the horses and ponies, in fact the only property I could find to rent in this region that had suitable land for horses, so you could say fate had a real hand in our destination. However, we absolutely fell in love with the region so our search for a permanent home was kept to within a tight radius of where we were already renting. Our choice was again rather narrowed by the desire to find a property to accommodate all our horses and ponies, as well as being near a community and schools for our girls. Both my husband and I love historic and characterful houses so this property had everything we could wish for.
