Traditional Farmhouse with Stunning Exclusive-Use Pool & Spectacular Views
'A little bit of paradise on earth...'
Magnificent hill-top farmhouse - wonderful 12x6m pool with spectacular views amongst gardens of lavender and roses. Generous south facing terraces and a magical internal courtyard with external staircase - a lovely place to eat. Close to all facilities.
Can be let as one property for 14 people (Les Rochers) but if half is taken (Les Platanes or Les Pruniers), the other half will remain empty, so providing exclusive use of pool and gardens.
Price outside school holidays reduced, much depending on numbers - for example £550 for two people, £650 for four people etc - exclusive use of house, pool, gardens.
Possibility of: - cold meal ready on arrival, birthday cake, special occasion meal, babysitting services, lift from airport or station...or any other way we can help.
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?"
Also recommended by Alistair Sawday 'Special Places to Stay'` ....`a magnificent place...`
The property can comfortably accommodate 8 but should you wish, a second wing can be opened to increase numbers to 14 (see Les Rochers if this is of interest) This second wing will remain empty if booked for 8 people - so ensuring privacy and exclusive use of pool and gardens.
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 barbecues and outside dining.
There is a paved terrace running down both lengths of the two main wings of the house, with wonderful far reaching views over gardens of lavender and roses.
The farmhouse offers:
- A lovely bright fitted kitchen with large wooden table and chairs and all amenities including electric oven, mixed electric/gas hob, dishwasher, microwave and large fridge/freezer.
- There is a welcoming and comfortably furnished lounge with open fireplace. French doors lead from all these rooms onto the terrace and gardens.
- One or two other smaller sitting-room areas are found around the house.
- The utility room has 2 washing machines and there is
- A WC off this room.
Stairs from the hall next to the sitting room lead up to:
- A landing/sitting area on the first floor and a door from the hall also accesses the inner courtyard. On this floor there is:
- 1 double bedroom
- 1 twin bedroom
- The main bathroom has a bath and separate shower plus there is
- A separate WC.
Another flight of stairs leads to the second floor where there are:
- Two further bedrooms (one double and one twin)
- A shower-room/WC.
All the bedrooms are of a good size.
The entire house is newly furnished and equipped whilst retaining traditional farmhouse features. The furnishings are bright and modern, which give the property a light and uncluttered feeling whilst still providing all that is necessary for a relaxing and truly memorable holiday. You`ll be back!
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.

How to get to Les Platanes
Fly to Toulouse (1 hour 20 mins to house) from Heathrow, Gatwick, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester etc or to Rodez (from Stansted) and pick up a hire car. The airports are serviced by low-cost airlines. Ferry crossings from Portsmouth or other channel ports - or train to Toulouse and then hire car.
Depending on your starting point in the UK flights to Bordeaux or Carcassone might be an option.
A train line links Laguepie to Toulouse....useful if you have guests joining you during your stay.
If driving, Laguepie is 45 minutes from Caussade, junction 59 on the A20/E09. The A71/A75 south through the Massif Central is an attractive alternative route.
