history
“Loubs” is a late 16th century Presbytery, situated just at the edge of Loubes-Bernac, a little village of about 400 inhabitants.
Over several centuries, our house was the home of monks and priests who played an important role in the community. Music was taught in the presbyter and the barn was used as a theatre. Locals still remember quite vividly the good times they had there.
Since we purchased the Presbyter we have upgraded it to a modern, elegant house. The very large rooms with the 3,8 m high ceilings give a sense of space that not every holiday home can offer.
The pool sits right in front of the house, and together with the covered outside dining area, becomes very much the heart of the house during summertime. From the terrace you can enjoy marvellous views and admire the splendour of Chateau de Theobon.
We are very excited that you consider spending time in our home. We already know that you will enjoy Loubs!
