Here is a truly delightful riverside location with private trout fishing, set in a protected zone for flora and fauna, yet only minutes to medieval Caylus with all services and just 18 minutes drive to celebrated Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val - voted in 2016 one of France's 3 top villages.
The valley of the river Bonnette is famous as a nature haven and site of special scientific interest. It's also home to Europe’s largest concentration of watermills, some of them dating back to the middle ages.
Classed as an ''ecological zone'', the valley is populated by deer, red squirrel, grey heron, kingfishers, otters, wild boar, foxes, hoopoe, horseshoe bats. The range of brightly coloured butterflies and dragonfly is breath-taking. Each day brings something fresh to see.

Have just returned from two lovely weeks in Tarn-et-Garonne with a very relaxing stay at the Woodland Retreat. We were welcomed by Steve and Sue who were both accommodating and helpful.
If you’re eager to escape busy modern working life and are looking for a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by nature - Buzzards, Herons and more - then the Woodland Retreat is for you. It’s a well-appointed lodge nestling on the banks of the little river Bonnette running just outside. A spacious outdoor area with shaded dining table meant we cooked al fresco several evenings, and a large, very comfy bed gave us a good night’s sleep.
25-30 degrees of delightful weather made the lovely and private pool area a great way to spend afternoons (and evenings with a glass of wine enjoying the sunset over Loze). The elevated pool and spacious deck are well thought through, a unique construction which awards good views down the river, and a real sun trap, with a perfect water temperature.
Having travelled across France for 20 years, the surrounding area was quite a discovery, beautiful and unspoiled, with little commerce. Nearby St-Antonin-Noble-Val was one of the most atmospheric medieval French towns we’ve visited, along with many others in this region of Quercy.
Several good supermarkets are less than half an hour away, except one of the greatest pleasures was driving the 10 minutes along the Vallee de la Bonnette past the old water mills and waterfall for croissants, baguettes (and perhaps too much) patisserie from charming Caylus.
Steve and Sue have created a real haven of peace and privacy in this corner of ‘La France profonde’. Peaceful, private and well equipped - with all the things you need to genuinely stop, relax and kick-back.

Das Objekt ist eine traumhaft schöne restaurierte Mühle mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Es ist alles da was man braucht sei es zum kochen oder wohlfühlen. Der Pool ist einfach toll und auf dem Grundstück konnten die Kinder jeden Tag Tiere beobachten. Einfach ein traumhafter Urlaub. Vielen Dank an Steve und Susan.
This is a beautiful home with everything you need, be it to cook or to relax. The pool is just great, and on the property the children could see different animals every day. Simply a dream vacation. Thank you, Steve and Susan
Guest rating:
Steve and Sue were extremely helpful and welcoming. The property is in a beautiful location and we saw more and more wildlife as the week went on.
Sue prepared a superb meal for our first night, but in fact we had sufficient for the next day too. The Bastide towns are well worth exploring.
We would happily recommend this property. We had a marvellous timeGuest rating:
