Les Bruhasses

Toulouse, Gers & Vallée du Tarn


This turreted 1750 building 5km south of Condom once hosted an Armagnac producer, and has since been converted into a comfortable family-run guesthouse with plenty of period detail. Local gastronomy is a passion for the owners, who prepare meals on-site and source wines from barely 20 minutes down the road (dinner €35). They also rent two charming self-catering gîtes with air-con.
