Comments from tenants:
`We have fallen in love.....thank you, thank you!`
"Oh you lucky, lucky people, what a beautiful house - pool was stunning, stars at night, mist in the valley in the mornings, a little bit of paradise on earth"
"Our only complaint - just not long enough - please may we come again?"
"For the first time ever we have found somewhere we intend to return to ASAP"
"We enjoyed the views even more than before! How have you managed to improve them?"

The main kitchen has just been refitted and is the bright well equipped heart of the house. There is an additional fully equipped kitchen. The house can therefore comfortably accommodate 18 people.
The house is approached via a short drive and large double wooden gates lead into the fabulous traditional inner courtyard. This is a cool, shaded private and very pretty area for hot summer days and also makes an ideal setting for outside dining. A good sized BBQ provides for family cooking.
A paved terrace runs down both lengths of the two main wings of the house, taking advantage of the lovely views. The broad pool terrace, backed by a lovely stone wall and glorious views over the surrounding countryside, gives access to the 12x6m heated pool with corner access steps.

La France profonde! - peaceful, rural setting but just a few minutes drive to the bustling, very-French market town of Laguepie. Here you will find restaurants, a pizzeria, cafes, butcher, two supermarkets, hairdresser, pharmacy, banks, post-office, newsagent, and twice weekly market. Whilst there is no baker in Laguepie the supermarkets and other shops act as 'depots de pain' for local bakeries. There are larger supermarkets in St Antonin Noble Val and La Fouillade and a wide range in Villefranche de Rouergue including Leclerc, Hypermarche, Lidl and Aldi. The railway connects Laguepie to Toulouse and Figeac. Swimming in the river is popular in summer and there are frequent traditional fetes and night markets.
Nearby are the beautiful bastide villages of Najac , set in a stunning location high above the river Aveyron, and Cordes sur Ciel, with breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside. Villefranche de Rouergue with its incomparable Thursday market, centred on the arcaded square is half an hour away. Albi with its famous cathedral and connections to Toulouse-Lautrec should not be missed - a lovely journey. St Antonin Noble Val where the film Charlotte Gray was made is a beautiful medieval town and a fascinating place to explore. Bruniquel and Penne are two nearby villages dominated by their extraordinary chateaux. The rolling hills of the Gaillac vineyards are 30 minutes to the south. This is just a selection from a host of delightful medieval villages, walled towns and landscapes to be explored.
Toulouse or `La Ville Rose ` is the 4th largest city in France with many historically important buildings, art galleries, two splendid cathedrals and museums. At the huge Cite de l'Espace is the Space museum with planetariums and an actual size Ariane 5 rocket.
Most of the villages and towns are visually stunning and offer an abundance of just about every kind of local produce - including wine. Within a short drive there are many vineyards and caves to sample the regional wines, perhaps most notably Gaillac. Some of the regional seasonal village fetes and fairs - often with community meals and fireworks - should not be missed.
The Departements of Tarn et Garonne, Tarn and Aveyron comprise a beautiful and unspoilt region, where the relaxed pace of life can almost take you back in time. It offers rivers (and watersports), gorges, valleys, natural oak forests, rolling hills and architectural materpieces. It is a holiday destination which can please all tastes - cultural, outdoor and gastronomic. (a list of restaurants is available but you will probably discover new ones).
The house is actually situated on the border of the three departements (Tarn-et-Garonne, Tarn and Aveyron) and so is an ideal place to explore the different beauty of all three.
Great canoeing and cycle hire at St Antonin. Swimming in the river at Laguepie and many other locations. Horse riding, canoeing and Zip Wire Adventure Park at Najac. Golf in Albi.
