Solo Retreat - Exceptional Hospitality Design Flair I recently had the pleasure of staying several nights at the top-floor suite in this guest house, Place Gambetta, Penne d'Agenais Genevieve, a gracious woman, with a genuine smile, greeted me with open arms despite my early arrival. True grace is observed when you disrupt someone’s routine and they remain genuinely accommodating. The top floor is a gem. Bathed in light, the suite boasts two rooms overlooking the main square and three floor-to-ceiling windows, including a Velux in the stairwell. Even if it was rainy and dark you would still enjoy this suite - just to discover the many versatile intriguing lighting fixtures… (I did). In France, rooms are generally small. Not here. The spaciousness, combined with Genevieve's impeccable design touch, made it a haven of comfort and elegance. One detail that truly stood out to me, and this may be a personal preference, were the six full pillows on the bed. How many times have I stayed in "luxury" hotels only to find a lack of pillows? Genevieve pays exquisite attention to detail and seems to know what guests need before they even have to ask. Shall I say more?

La machine à café ne fonctionne pas

We spent 2 nights at la maison sur la place in July and and a wonderful experience. The owner, Genevieve, is the most charming, kind and helpful person. Nothing was too much trouble as she offered suggestions of where to visit in the area and booked restaurants for us. The breakfast she serves is exceptional. The property is also amazing, the room we had (suite really) was enormous, beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. Definitely good value. The location is also great in an historic old town with many artisan shops and excellent restaurants.

Our fabulous hostess made us feel incredibly welcome. She gave excellent advice on where to eat, and what to do/visit. We were unlucky with the weather but that made the experience all the more special because the interiors are so calming and comfortable that we were quite happy. The breakfast was the best if I have eaten in a hotel establishment.

It was a very special place to stay. Genevieve was an exceptional host and has done an incredible job with every detail of the house. She made sure we had everything we needed and was always kind about checking in with us. Her breakfast was a highlight, with freshly baked croissants that could be smelled throughout. The location is great, with some great nearby restaurants and a brasserie. We felt very lucky to pick this location while we visited the area for a wedding and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet getaway. We will miss Genevieve!

Nothing. It was great.

Everything! This guest house is an absolute gem. Genevieve is the most wonderful host - she was generous, kind and welcoming. The room was so spacious, beautifully decorated and clean. And the breakfast was honestly the best we’ve ever had, the homemade pear crumble was especially delicious. The location was also great, in the centre of Penne d’Agenais which is a beautiful village with some great restaurants.

Nothing! It was perfect.

Maison sur la place is a special place. The location is excellent on a square in a very old town that sits atop a hill. The house is beautiful as are all the rooms. It is tastefully designed creating spaces that are comfortable and spacious. Our hostess was lovely. Breakfast was as good as it gets. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you.

Genevieve is a truly wonderful host - so helpful, friendly and she makes a delicious breakfast every morning. The house is absolutely stunning - the room we had at the top is a really large and liveable space. You have a key to come and go as you please - even if coming back very late from a wedding! We had such a fantastic stay and would love to return if we are back in the area.

We were pleasantly surprised by the fabulous decor. The breakfast was the best we have had in a long time, beautifully presented, high quality and lots to choose from 😊 The bed was very comfortable. Our host was very accommodating, attentive and helpful with everything we needed. We would recommend this place to anyone that appreciates art and a warm personal welcome.

It was a pity that we had to leave... :)

The breakfast was superb with such a wide variety of items on offer, many of them homemade by Genevieve herself. The breakfast was served outside in the courtyard which made it all the more special

There was not anything that could be improved upon.

It was breathtakingly beautiful. So tasteful and artistically decorated. The breakfast was a feast, exquisitely delicate and with lots of surprising homemade dishes eg/ the grilled apricots on rosemary!

Everything was perfect.. nothing to dislike
