A historic retreat deep in the Aveyron, with an English country garden, table tennis, a pool and pastoral views.
Barbecue on the terraces, soak up the views, and listen to the children splashing in the pool. The landscape surrounding this former farmstead is rural and quiet in every season. Relax to the chatter of cicadas, the buzzing of bees, and the occasional hum of a tractor. At night the skies are studded with stars.
The Aveyron is like a place that time forgot, yet you’re ten minutes from civilisation. Turn right at the lane for little Lunac (3km), with its 12th-century church, bar, square and boulangerie. Turn left for La Fouillard (5.5km) for shops, cafes, restaurants and all you need.
For accommodation descriptions, please refer to the separate unit tabs for both the Main House and the Gite.
The main house during the months of July and August, has a minimum 7 days stay booking period and can only be booked Saturday to Saturday.
The "Gite" has a minimum of 3 days stay and cannot be rented during the months of July and August unless it is with the main house as well.
The house is approached down a country lane which ends at the property. It is situated in peaceful countryside, secluded, but not isolated being only 2 minutes from Lunac which has a post office, bar and bakery, and 6 mins from the busy village of La Fouillade with its impressive retail park (comprising a large supermarket, pharmacy, doctors, garden centre, DIY store, bakery, butchers, hairdressers and florist.).
It is 20 mins to Villefranche de Rouergue which has a wonderful weekly market. The historic town of Najac, listed as one of the top 10 most beautiful villages in France is 15mins away, and has a railway station with frequent connections to Toulouse and the North. Rodez airport can be reached in 1hr and Toulouse airport in 1hr 45 mins.

What a fantastic stay at La Braguese! We arrived at the house after a stress-free drive from Toulouse airport. Driving down the drive, the views were incredible. All of the instructions left by the owners made it very easy. The house is beautiful and very picturesque. We never got bored of looking out and taking in the fresh air. Gill and Ray the owners were very responsive to any questions we had when arriving and gave us plenty of recommendations. When going to restaurants, we booked two taxis from the guest book which was fantastic.. they were so reliable and helpful. We definitely recommend L’Univers for dinner. No-one in the group spoke very good French so the menu was a surprise but a delicious surprise. The kitchen in the house was fantastic for making big dinners and breakfast in the morning with enough space for all 8 of us to cook together comfortably. The pool was fresh as it was September but that didn’t stop us playing a bit of volley ball. Everything is well thought out with plastic glasses at the ready to enjoy a drink down by the pool. When it did start to drizzle with rain, we were able to enjoy a mini tournament of Darts in the games room. Table tennis was also great fun..be careful not to hit it too hard as you’ll have to run down the hill! All in all, what a fantastic weekend, we are already talking about booking back next year. A great reunion for us all to spend together in a beautiful French country house. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, it’s so peaceful and relaxing but with plenty to do. Could have easily stayed another few days…we had so much fun in the house, we didn’t get to explore France enough…so I guess that means we will have no option but to stay again!

La Braguese is a wonderful place. The house is nicely and practically furbished and offers all you need to spend a nice vacation with friends or kids. The view is breath-taking and the calm is complete. Ray and Gill are very attentive and communicative hosts. We’ll certainly be back to enjoy this fantastic place!
We had a wonderful time at your beautiful place. We’ll certainly be back next year! Kind regards StephanieGuest rating:
Al llegar a La Braguese, encontramos una casa excepcional. No habia nadie esperandonos pero no hacia ninguna falta. Las instrucciones de llaves, funcionamiento de luces y demás elementos de la casa eran impecables. Está perfectamente equipada, una cocina en la que disfrutamos mucho cocinando (yo soy gran aficionado). El jardín es perfecto, con sombrillas, hamacas, mesas, iluminación acogedora, barbacoa, piscina muy limpia. Las vistas desde el jardín son increibles, está en medio de la naturaleza, y las puestas de sol son espectaculares. La casa la encontramos muy limpia, con sábanas muy agradables, toallas de piscina y otras para el baño. Sin problemas con el agua ni con la luz. Tienen cada interruptor de luz debidamente señalizado. Realmente no hizo ninguna falta contactar con nadie para explicaciones. Al llegar nos obsequiaron con champagne y otras cosas. Sin duda, la mejor elección !!! 6 estrellas !!

Le site de la Braguèse est tout simplement un paradis pour les adeptes de tranquillité, et amoureux des grands espaces. la vue du gite est magnifique et les couchers de soleil sont un vrai spectacle. La grange est aménagée avec soins et les équipements sont de très grandes qualités. Tout a été fait pour que le séjour soit facile et agréable. Un vrai havre de paix, où le mot " se ressourcer" prend tout son sens. Nous avons adoré le lieu et le gite que vous avez aménagé avec goût. Nous avons apprécié les "plus" comme les équipements dans la salle de bain (coton, savon) ou dans le salon (lampes, cartes du coins, livres, etc...) c'était très appréciable.
Guest rating:
A perfect place to bring the family away, first class accommodation, quality furnishing and fantastic beds. Pools was perfect and the views were amazing. The children were always active with the games room , table tennis, air hockey and separate attic room. Hope to come back next year.

Just to say ... What a lovely house and beautiful location even on a drizzly day!
A beautiful house in a gorgeous rural location. We had a relaxing week and the house was extremely comfortable with a lovely pool.Guest rating:
The moment when we walked in, until the end of our vacation, we had a great time in this beautiful country house. This place is incredible to relax and enjoy the magic sunsets. Inside the house, its even beter then you see on the pictures. In the kitchen everything you need is available, the bedsheets are from perfect quality (where did they bought these?), they provide you a big and small towel, and also a towel for pool use. Nearby the pool, there is a toilet, there are sun beds enough, you have a fridge nearby, nice plastic tableware, games like badminton, ping pong, petanque, darts, airhockeytalbe, ..... within 10 - 15 minus driving distance there is a big supermarkt, baker, butcher, farmacie, ... and probably also other shops where i did not payed attention to. This is one of the best placed i book with Airbnb! Ray and Gill, thank you so much for having us!

Notre séjour à la Braguese a été très réussi. La maison, la piscine et l'environnement sont magnifiques.
Guest rating:
Probablemente una de las mejores y más bonitas casas en las que hemos estado, todo está cuidado al máximo detalle: la piscina, la sala de juegos, el jardín... El entorno es muy tranquilo e ideal para descansar. La casa es tan bonita y tiene tantos rincones con encanto, que varios días decidimos quedarnos en casa en vez de salir de excursión. Los niños también la disfrutaron mucho. Muy recomendable.
