About this house rental
Rich in unspoilt nature and centuries-old history, the Darricau estate extends over several dozen hectares of wooded parkland and meadows around the manor house of an empire general.
Come and enjoy a peaceful break between the Atlantic beaches, the Landes forest and the poetic banks of the Etang d'Aureilhan, which runs alongside our park.
There's a horse-riding centre on the estate and a network of cycle paths nearby.
Take your camera or binoculars with you to observe the wildlife that lives here in safety, away from the hunters.
Three large gîtes await you, luxuriously appointed in 18th-century or Art Deco style.
La Prairie aux Chevaux
The 140m2 gîte offers four bedrooms, with 3 shower rooms (capacity 12 people) and one bedroom with walk-in shower accessible to people with reduced mobility. A vast lounge/dining room/open-plan kitchen, with a usable antique fireplace, offers a wide view over the meadow where the horses from the neighbouring riding school graze daily.A private garden provides complete peace and quiet.
A warm welcome awaits you on arrival, and a member of the estate staff will be on hand to help you during your stay.
Regular cleaning will be provided on arrival, during your stay and on departure. For your convenience, this cleaning is not an optional extra.
The supply of linen (sheets, towels, tea towels, bath mats) is included in our service.

It is not often one gets the chance to stay on the estate of a Chateau. The care takers looked after us perfectly and faultlessly. I would love to return one day and highly recommend this to others seeking a quiet unprentious stay.

This quiet, spacious gîte is located in the former stable of an old French manorhouse, between the corrals of a riding school and a huge lakeside park. For lovers of rural French countryside the place is ideal. The only downside is an intermittent odor from the Mimizan papermill several miles away; we noticed it on two days of our one-week stay. Mimizan plage and the ocean are just 8 km away and easy to reach by car. Kitchen and bathrooms are modern and well equipped, the dining and living room is huge, with an impressive row of eight (!) windows looking out onto the prairie and park - my personal highlight. The bedrooms are a bit small but otherwise OK. The property manager lives nearby and will come whenever needed. She is very helpful and friendly. In summary, it was a wonderful week in a great location.

We enjoyed our holiday in this spacious house very much. There is plenty of room for eight people, ten guests might find the three bathrooms not well placed (two of them are en-suite with two bedrooms). The kitchen is well equipped, also for many guests. Wifi is available in the main part of the house, however one bedroom is somewhat separated and coverage is not well there. The house (it might be a former barn) is situated in a complex of buildings with a tiny castle in the center and surrounded by meadows and horse barnes. We liked the seclusion of the place, nevertheless there is a supermarket and a bakery within walking distance. Further supermarkets can be reached by car in a few minutes. It takes about 15 minutes by car to get to the stunning beaches of the Atlantic Ocean which allow separateness even in the peak season in August. Surfers like the waves there. There is also a lake within walking distance where one can swim or do some water sports.
Whenever we required some help, our host Emanuelle was on the spot immediately.
