Beautiful restored farmhouse with pool in South West France, very priv

Lovely stay in a property that is very remote but in a beautiful area of France near to lots of wonderful places to visit. The property itself is comfortable and has everything that you need for a large group.

Lovely big pool and spacious house. Stunning view from the west side. Remote location with a long rough track so maybe not appealing for some people. We got used to the track and loved exploring the beautiful local villages. The dormice in the roof can be noisy! Also some shower plumbing issue which meant we couldn’t use one shower for a few days. If you’re staying when the Samba band extravaganza is on in Bruniquel (last weekend of August) it’s really worth going- great fun in stunning surroundings.

The setting and location are absolutely stunning. Perched up on a hill with a view across miles and miles of rolling French landscape, which is even more perfect at sunset with a cold glass of white wine (which was generously provided for us on our arrival). The house itself is big! The downstairs stays quite cool (even in the 38 degree heat that we experienced), and we managed to keep the upstairs cool at night, opening all the windows (and hearing all the wild animals, which was great). There are so many deer, eagles, birds and other wild animals that you will see daily. We sat out one night and just sat there watching a group of 8 deer, including 2 tiny babies, grazing in the field opposite in the hazy evening light, before staring at an array of pristine stars in the warm night sky. As for the place... the pool is wonderful, tucked away round the back and perfectly secluded. The house is beautiful and charming, although if I had to find a criticism it would be that it could do with a bit of modernising or freshening up inside. Having said that, we hardly spent any time inside except to sleep and prepare food. Also note, bring your own pool towels. Otherwise, everything else is provided. We would definitely return and are already contemplating staying again next year, but for longer this time. The local village of Penne is a treat and dinner at The Terrasse restaurant is a must. Also the local villages of Puycelsi and Saint Antonin are worth a visit.

We have stayed in several holiday houses in France, and this has definitely been our favourite. Location is outstanding. Best ever view from a washing line! The track to the house looks a little challenging, but caused us no problems and luckily we didn't meet anyone coming the other way in the whole week. The space in the house is wonderful. Huge rooms with loads of comfortable seating both inside and out. Bedrooms are comfortable and the whole house is clean and well-stocked with everything you need. Plenty of plates, cooking pots and pans and even a good range of herbs and spices. Lots of board games, books and even a table-tennis table. One suggestion which would have made our stay an 11/10 would have been bigger towels as the ones provided whilst clean, fresh and fluffy were a tad on the small side. We solved that by buying some larger ones at the supermarket. The pool is beautiful. Clean and in a stunning setting. We regularly had birds of prey overhead as we swam. It is easy to keep cool at this house. It feels beautifully cool inside and the hillside setting means there is always a pleasant breeze. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this stunning house.

A beautiful house in a beautiful and quiet area. Nice views. Lots of space in and arround the house. Very nice and large swimmingpool. Beds were for a few of us (allmost 2 meters and 95+ kilograms) too small and could have been a bit firmer. Communication with owner was very fine. We had a very nice stay and a wonderful holiday.

En pleine nature, maison avec beaucoup de charme, spacieuse, confortable, très bien équipée et très propre. Jardin très agréable, mais la météo capricieuse n'a pas permis d'en profiter au maximum. Idéale pour les amoureux de la nature et le calme. Nous avons eu la visite de biches et de salamandres notamment. La région est à recommander (nombreuses forêts et visites des environs). Merci à Anne pour sa gentillesse et également à Marcus pour sa disponibilité. Il n'a pas hésité à se déplacer et à répondre à nos sollicitations.

An amazing house, full of charm, beautiful farm house, so much space. Everything you need, only wished our teenagers used WiFi less, but on such hot days it suited them and we got our peace and quiet listening to the birds and wildlife, swimming in the refreshing pool. Lovely touches with a trinket box for my jewellery, hand cream by the sink, flowers we were happy to water. lovely eating areas, great TV, again for teenagers, but great to watch The Commonwealth Games. Stunning views across the hills, beautiful sunsets and The stars were amazing. Lovely villages and rivers for days out, great shops. Loved the day of canoeing on the river, and float up to cafes. The house has everything you need, clean comfortable beds. Fans in each room, but loved the windows open listening to the sounds. Great Market in The Beautiful San Antonin de Val, Penne lovely as to Surrounding villages, The Pool…❤️ Great memories made, Very sad to leave . Loved this Place

If you are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life then this is surely it. Really quiet except for the sounds of birds and the occasional deer roaming in the fields next to you. Lovely house with stunning views and great pool. 20 mins from main supermarket and just 10 mins to local shops. We loved it.

Une très jolie maison, restaurée et entretenue avec goût. Piscine superbe jouxtant la maison. Calme absolu, aucune autre maison a moins de 500 mètres. Les voisins les plus visibles sont les chevreuils, tous les soirs! Tous les villages environnants sont tous plus jolis les uns que les autres, Bruniquel, Penne, Castelnau, Puycelsi...

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour dans cette maison isolée dans une très belle nature; rencontres quotidiennes avec biches et faons. Intendance et ravitaillement à bien organiser du fait de l’éloignement des commerces (20-30 minutes), en échange de la quiétude absolue. Très recommandable.
