Child and pet friendly Stone Farmhouse with private heated pool on 2 acres

From initial booking our contact with Camilla was very helpful. She answered our questions promptly and provided thorough information as our stay approached. The property was in a beautiful rural location but within 15 minutes of Caylus with bars and a small but well stocked supermarket. We loved the pool surrounded by lavender and views of the countryside. The house itself was clean and well equipped for our group of 6. The air conditioning was a real bonus with temperatures of 30 -38 degrees during our stay. We found our stay very relaxing and would certainly recommend the property for those seeking a break in the French countryside.

Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans une maison superbe, très propre et parfaitement équipée. Le grand jardin est fort accueillant et son aménagement est pensé pour que l'on s'y sente bien. Le pigeonnier lui donne un charme particulier. Quant à la piscine elle est fort appréciée! Camilla notre hôte s'est montrée très disponible et très attentive au fait que nous passions un bon moment. Une bouteille de vin ainsi que des chips aveyronnaises étaient là à notre arrivée et la cuisine était pourvue des produits de première nécessité ce qui fort appréciable.

We are frequent renters of homes for our vacations and I have to say this place was one the best we've experienced. The location was perfect if what you are looking for is peace and quiet-yet still want to be close to quaint small towns, and larger supermarkets and tourist spots. The house itself is charming and very well equipped. The bedrooms in particular were so comfortable and cozy. My children loved the large yard and the walking paths in the area-especially the area they referred to as "The Enchanted Forest." Overall assessment, it was a magical week and we were sad to leave. Camilla was extremely helpful and everything is well detailed in terms of directions for building fires, using the cable TV and the local attractions. We were there for the week between Christmas and New Year and the fireplaces and space heaters kept the house sufficiently warm and we were lucky enough to have some good weather to enjoy most of the outdoor features. We would love to return to experience it in another season as well!

We arrived at the house just as the sun was setting onto the stunning pigeonnaire and gardens. It's so beautiful there at that time of day! The house is like something from a fairy tale, surrounded by fields with wildflowers. There is a large comfortable living room with a big open fireplace and tasteful comfortable furniture. The kitchen is well stocked and opens onto a shaded patio where you can have all your meals. The house and gardens are very well looked after and have such a great energy. We had a full moon when we were staying there and the sight of it rising up above the hill was one I will never forget. You do need a car as it's ten minutes drive to Caylus and there are lots of picturesque villages to visit in the immediate area. I was there with my sister, our husbands and our Mum and all of us loved the place. I would like to go back in Winter and sit by that gorgeous fireplace! Camilla couldn't have been more helpful with the questions we had before we arrived and answered all our emails promptly (and let me tell you there were A LOT of questions!). All in all a great place to stay with family and friends! Kelly P - Los Angeles, USA

The house has much character, and has been tastefully restored and furnished for a delightful, comfortable stay. I loved having it as home base for two weeks. (The weather was also spectacular!). Camilla is prompt and pleasant to communicate with, and was very proactive in providing suggestions to help me enjoy the area - which I did, very much. Although the house is very peaceful, in a rural location, it is only 10 minutes to the busy little village of Caylus, and 15 - 20 minutes to several other lovely villages. You do need a car, but it doesn't take long to get to lots of places worth exploring. I was at the house alone for most of my stay, and felt very safe. Highly recommended!

This is a beautifully and very tastefully restored old farm house in a very peaceful location. It is very well equiped, nice furniture, comfortable beds, nice linens, kitchen appliances: this is a real home. There are 2 separate upstairs: 1 leading to a room with a queen bed and en-suite bathroom (perfect for a couple); the other with a queen bed room, a kids room (2 small singles, so kids of 12-13 years max), a bathroom and another queen bed on the landing at the top of staircase (so this works well for a family with kids). There is a further queen bed in the living room: perfect for a teenager (or2) to spend the night. There also is a full bath on the ground floor between kitchen and living room. You can spend days on the property sitting on the different patios, by the pool, underneath the "gazebo" enjoying the surroundings, views, sounds while spending time with family or friends. The surrounding country side is equally spectacular and lends itself to hikes or biking (if in shape: it is rolling up&down). The nearby historic towns (25-45 min away: St Antonin Noble Val, St Cirq La Popie, Bruniquel, Penne etc, etc...) are equally spectacular, well worth the visit and have great restaurants serving local gastronomy.

Dealing with Camilla, the owner, was a pleasure from start to finish. Her career involves property and Hollywood, and she certainly brings that experience to bear in how she presents her beautiful French home for her guests. Everything was as described in the description, and the house was fabulously appointed throughout, mixing the most modern appliances and facilities, with the great character of the building. The location is truly private, and the peaceful ambience is apparent as soon as we stopped the engine after a long drive. The house was very very clean, with a lovely welcome pack, and ice already made up for that first important relaxing drink. It is located in one of the most scenic parts of France, so gave us the opportunity to explore out and about, as well as spending time by the pool. A very useful welcome pack gives all the details you will need. The Pigionere is indeed stunning, and we were tickled to buy a postcard in Cahors with its picture on. I wholly recommend as a great place to stay in France, and am sure all who follow us will enjoy a great holiday.

We were lucky enough to spend 2 weeks here and we had a fantastic stay at the farmhouse and were so sad to leave. The house is exceptionally well equipped and comfortable without losing any of its immense character. The beds and pillows were really very comfortable as was the day bed in the library. The location is simply stunning, rolling fields, beautiful views and tranquility. You really do feel comfortable and relaxed here and was just what we needed to recharge our batteries. The pigeoniere is truly magnificent and a real feature of the wonderful gardens. We particularly enjoyed watching the sunsets and deer in the field and the hawks flying overhead whilst we sipped French fizz. There are ample places to sit and take in the beauty and peace and quiet. We did venture for days out and meals and there are some very pretty villages and good restaurants we visited nearby. The walks, particularly by the source and old monastery, are not to be missed. The owners were very helpful and responded to any queries or to provide directions to find the gems very quickly. The information provided was very accurate and informative. We also found the French caretakers very helpful and pleasant. I would most certainly recommend this property to anyone seeking a relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings in a magical place. We are already planning to return.
