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. However, for those who are either keen sight-seers, or want livelier evenings, La Ville is within easy reach of a number of larger towns (Agen, Moissac, Cahors, Montauban), all of which offer both places of interest to visit as well as great evenings out.
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 and working.
The owners, Chris and Moira are professional musicians who have established a lovely music facility at La Ville alongside the gites. 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 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.
A beautifully appointed Pétanque court has been created, so guests can enjoy playing the traditional French game of boules - yet another activity to help your holiday along!
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!
This beautifully renovated barn comprises 3 bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities. Sleeping arrangements can be further expanded via two bed-settees and/or a baby cot. The gite also enjoys a very spacious, light lounge and a well-equipped family sized kitchen/diner. Just outside the kitchen door is a generous private terrace, with alfresco eating facilities and evening views of glorious sunsets; and all a very short walk to the pool terrace! The barn has been renovated so that it retains a number of original features, which link it to it's origins - the cow barn!
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 however being indoors doesn't appeal, then you can enjoy badminton or boules in the garden. We also have swings for the children.
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, fine dining (with Chateau de l'Hoste and a 2 * Michelin restaurant within easy reach) or lively evenings out.
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.
Markets are a big part of French rural living, and this area is no exception, with a local market somewhere close by, on each day of the week. Shopping, whether it be for local produce or souvenirs, becomes a pleasurable activity, with a stop for coffee and pattiserie in an outdoor cafe essential - just watch the world go by!
Wildlife is in abundance, with sightings of deer, wild boar, red squirrels, and huge numbers of birds of prey being the norm - a bird watchers paradise!
Walking is a pleasure, with beautiful scenery in every direction, rare sightings of cars, and everything from gentle strolls to backpack expeditions possible from the property. Golf courses are within easy reach, and for the more adventurous there is horse riding, white-water canoeing and even a local parachute school and hot-air ballooning. Cycling is a further option, with varying terrains to enjoy; from steep hill climbs to gentle flat rides along canal paths.
There is a good choice of restaurants within a few miles radius, to suit all budgets. Everything from a local pizzeria to gourmet eating at Chateau de L'Hoste.
