Where is it

Tarn-et-Garonne
 

Pretty Self-Catering Gite in Beautiful Tarn-et-Garonne

'La Ville' is situated on a hillside facing the small village of Fauroux, which is between the bastide village of Lauzerte and the larger town of Valence d'Agen.

It offers the visitor total peace and quiet - a real escape from the hustle and bustle of modern living.
La Ville was originally a tiny hamlet, and so there are a cluster of buildings to be enjoyed. Part of the huge grange has been converted into a mixed games room and the old bread oven is still intact.

The owners, Chris and Moira are professional musicians who aspire to establish a lovely music facility at La Ville in the near future. If you enjoy listening to, or indeed making music,  activities to suit different tastes can be happily organised. You can even book  a few lessons if you want to brush-up on your piano, voice, brass or composition skills - these being our particular specialisms!

Each holiday rental however enjoys privacy by not being overlooked, (so you don't have to join in!) and with their own private well-equipped outdoor living spaces.

The property and 12 x 6 metre pool (floodlit for evening swims!), are surrounded by 2 acres of grounds, which are alive with colour for most of the year. There is a parc, (small field) planted with fruit trees, woodland on three sides, a very productive potager, (kitchen garden) badminton court, and grassed areas which serve as an extension to the pool terrace. There is also an amazingly deep well (made totally safe), which is floodlit - yet another rather special feature of La Ville.


There are 360 degree views from the hilltop, which are stunning throughout all seasons, breathtaking sunrises and sunsets being a particular feature; worth getting up for with a cup of coffee, and worth relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of the day!

Holiday Accommodation at La Cave

This beautiful apartment offers the visitor a unique holiday home. Created from an original 'Cave' (combination cool storage) and la place du cochon (the room of the pig!), there is a large double bedroom with vaulted ceiling, a lovely shower room (with another vaulted ceiling)
and an open-plan living/dining room including a kichen area. With the benefit of central heating this is a perfect place for cosy winter breaks. During the long hot summers however, the thickness of the walls means that you can stay beautifully cool whenever you want!
Outside there is a small private terrace and garden area with bbq for al fresco dining, and beautiful sunsets to enjoy. There are even your own fresh herbs to pick to add that extra something to your cooking!

About Fauroux in Tarn-et-Garonne, Midi Pyrenees

La Ville is set outside of a small village, and is surrounded by rolling farmland, with glorious 360 degree views, with the Pyrenees visible when weather conditions are right! 
There is something for everyone in the general area, whether you enjoy historical sites, bastide villages, festivals, local markets, sporting activities or fine dining (with Chateau de l'Hoste and a 2 * Michelin  restaurant within easy reach).

As La Ville is at the end of its own country lane, there is no traffic, other than that of guests! Locally, roads are a pleasure to drive on, with it being perfectly possible not to see another vehicle for many kilometres.
Summers are full of local fetes, where evenings can be spent over a communal meal in a town square for a very reasonable cost, whilst enjoying a wide range of high quality entertainment. For those who enjoy classical music, a number of festivals are within easy reach, where international artists are featured alongside local professionals.

The region has a fabulously sunny climate, with long hot summers and a mild spring and autumn.

See Local guide and map for information on nearby towns and facilities.

How To Get To Fauroux in Tarn-et-Garonne, South West France

Closest airports are Toulouse (served by Easyjet and jet2) and Bergerac (served by Ryanair) , both approximately 1 hour's drive away.
Car hire is strongly recommended in order to get around during your holiday, but a pick-up service can be arranged also.

Guest Reviews Of La Cave

8/28/12

We had a fantastic short break in 'La Cave' - the bedroom was amazing. Moira and Chris were extremely accommodating considering we booked the night before our arrival! Our stay was exactly what we needed, peace and quiet, relaxing by the pool. Thanks for a wonderful holiday.

5/5

La Ville offers total peace and quiet, perfect for a relaxing holiday. If, however, laying by the pool or reading a good book in the shade of a tree is not quite enough, we offer a range of activities to enhance your stay.

There is a games room, with table tennis, snooker/pool table, a dart board and some gym equipment to help keep you fit!

If being indoors doesn't appeal, then you can enjoy badminton or boules in the garden. We also have swings for the children.
