Part of a 100 year old barn attached to the main house sympathetically converted in 2016 to a self contained 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom gite.
The property offers fully comprehensive self catering accommodation for 2 people.
- The main living space comprises lounge with U.K. Satellite TV, DVD player and wifi access, dining area with seating for 4 and includes a fully equipped kitchen with quality appliances.
- The bedroom (with views of the Pic du Midi) comprises a king size bed together with a wardrobe, chest of drawers & 2 bedside cabinets providing adequate storage space for clothing etc.
- There is also a bathroom/shower room with full sized bath, wet room style shower, WC and hand basin.
From the living area bi-fold doors (over 2 metres wide) lead onto a large wooden decked balcony with panoramic views over open rolling countryside. The balcony provides the perfect location for alfresco dining whether it be breakfast in the sun or sundowners on balmy evenings!
The balcony overlooks the 11 x 5 metre swimming pool (1.5 metre depth throughout) with acacia wood decking which provides ample space for relaxing and sunbathing. Adjacent to the pool is a canopy structure which provides shade, if desired. There are also other shady areas within the 1.6 acre garden to relax, the hammock below the balcony being one of them!
For the more active there are plenty of opportunities such as walking, cycling, white water rafting, hot air ballooning and, in season, skiing. Also, it is less than 1 hour from Toulouse and the Pyrenees mountains/Spanish border for those that want to explore the area.
Quiet semi-rural location 1 hour south west of Toulouse. Only 20 minutes from J21 off the A64 motorway which links Toulouse to Biarritz and the northern Spanish coast.
The property is situated on a ridge at 400 metres above sea level and enjoys an uninterrupted panoramic view, for almost 100 miles, of the Pyrenees.
A great location for nature lovers, bird watchers, photographers and artists. For those interested in history there are roman villas and pre-historic caves together with medieval villages such as Aurignac and St. Bertrand de Comminges.
our gite has been awarded '3 etoiles' status by the Comite Departmental du Tourisme - the highest star rating possible for a gite of its size.
The Occitanie region is a combination of the former Midi-Pyrenees and Languedoc-Rousillon regions. A huge area in the South West of France, its centre is the city of Toulouse, only 1 hour drive away. Being far south the Region benefits from good weather
The region in dominated by the huge Pyrenean mountain range which stretches from the Atlantic to Mediterranean coasts. Large rivers such as the Garonne and Lot flow through the region.
Although Toulouse is a bustling city, much of the region is rural with agriculture (including wine growing) predominating.
History and Pre-history abounds with cave paintings and roman villas aplenty. To the east of the region numerous Cathar castles from the 12th and 13th century can be visited.
The gite is located 2.5 kms from the nearest town, Cassagnabere-Tournas and 7kms from Aurignac where the nearest supermarket (Carrefour), bakery, pharmacy, greengrocer can be found.
There are restaurants locally ranging from inexpensive (13 euros for 3 courses including wine & coffee) traditional fare to more sophisticated French dining.
Within about a 15 mile radius a market can be found every day of the week, with the exception of Sunday. Throughout the summer there is a village fete locally each weekend, some including live music.
Each July, there is an opportunity to watch a stage of Le Tour de France nearby.
