Stunningly situated on top of a hill overlooking the rolling unspoilt Tarn countryside, our traditional barn has been sensitively converted to form the very comfortable gite « Les Tournesols », a true home from home. « Les Tournesols » sits in several acres of meadows and oak woodlands. (Whilst our main house is situated on the grounds and we are close at hand to assist you if needed, the accommodation in « Les Tournesols » is totally separate and well away from the main house; and access to the pool is reserved exclusively for your private use.)
« Les Tournesols » sleeps up to 5 in great comfort in three bedrooms:
- One double bedded room,
- One twin-bedded room
- One single room.
The double bedroom has an en-suite room with walk-in shower, wash basin & W.C. The second bathroom has a small bath with shower-over and wash basin. There is an additional separate W.C. Bedlinen and towels are supplied (except pool towels). Besides, the wood burner, there is electric vector heating for winter lets.
- The spacious open-plan Living & Dining Room, with three large windows looking onto the pool and beyond to spectacular views, has a wood burner in fireplace (wood is provided for those cooler evenings) and comfortable seating. A television and DVD player are provided with a good selection of films. It also has a digibox with Sky free-to-air channels. WIFI internet is provided.
- The Kitchen area is extremely well-equipped with gas cooker, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, kettle and other useful appliances.
- The utility room has a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron & board.
The south facing terrace is sheltered, totally private and has tremendous views onto fields and woods. It has a table, chairs, a large pergola and a stone-built barbecue, all just perfect for those alfresco meals on warm summer evenings and for sampling the local Gaillac wines ! !
A fragrant lavender path leads to the very large swimming pool 12x6m (40’x20’). There is a great number of poolside loungers around the pool, which has a southerly aspect enjoying sunshine all day long.
« Les Tournesols » is a short walk from a small village, which has a corner store/post office, bakery, café and is only a 5/10 mins drive from each of the pink brick market towns of Gaillac, Lavaur, Rabastens and L'Isle sur Tarn. These offer all services (weekly colourful street markets, shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, cinemas, banks, post office, doctors), as well as being charming and interesting places to visit, surrounded by vineyards and fields of sunflowers.
« Les Tournesols » is only 20 mins away from Albi a national heritage UNESCO site with its magnificent 12th Century Cathedral & Toulouse Lautrec Museum, and 30 mins from the dynamic and cosmopolitan city of Toulouse, cultural & artistic capital of SW France.
This unspoilt area of France, the South West, has the French charm and tranquillity needed for a restful holiday, but should you wish to be active and sporting, there is riding, kayaking, tennis, golf, cycling, rambling all in the immediate surroundings...
