Gite en pierre T3 et sa piscine proche Cahors, St Cirq Lapopie chiens bienvenus

Les Lavandes is a very well equipped and comfortable gites in a quiet setting in the countryside outside Cahors. There is a lovely pool which is shared with the other gites owned by the same owners next door from which there are spectacular views. The gites itself is an old cottage with wooden beams and is well appointed and nicely done.There are plenty of places of interest to visit in the near vicinity.

we (myself, my wife and two 12 year old girls) stayed for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time here - we could not have wished for more! The site is very well-equipped, self-contained with a beautiful pool - absolutely spotlessly clean, with a lot of space and seating around it, kept secure (so little ones would stumble into it) and at the end of a long hot day, an absolute delight to use. The views from the pool terrace, especially at sunset, are amazing. The location is great - quiet at night so you can get a good sleep, but close enough to Cahors (10 mins), the Lot river area, Saint Cirque Lapopoe, canoeing on the Cele river, swimming at Vers, cycling and walking on the tow-path, Rocamadour, etc., etc. - it feels like we only scratched the surface in this beautiful part of France - I have seen a lot of France, this is definitely one of my favourite areas. The previous reviews have said most things already (I really do not understand the 2 star review btw), but just wanted to mention how helpful and friendly the owner Virginia is, whilst respecting your privacy - she takes great pride in keeping the gite and the pool in beautiful condition and her guests happy. She has detailed knowledge of the area and gave us loads of good tips - thank you, we hope to be back some time soon....

The gite was extremely well equipped. The owners have actually lived in the house in the past, which has resulted in extensive kitchen utensils, large amount of storage for clothing, and a washing machine (plus clothesline outdoors for drying). TV is available in English or French. The grounds, which include a play space, pool, ping-pong table and outdoor dining area, made it a fun place for the kids and relaxing environment for the adults. It was simple to book and the owner Virginia was very responsive to all my questions. She has lived in the area for 12 years, so she can recommend all sorts of restaurants and activities as well as give directions & maps to anywhere you plan to go. In the area, I would say that dining at La Truite Doree in Vers and taking a tour of La Grotte du Pech-Merle were our favorite activities (besides lounging by the pool, that is). Of our 4 weeks in France, we enjoyed our stay at this gite the most. Will definitely give this address to friends.

The beauty of the place is breathtaking, tranquility , repose of the soul and body is assured. House is very nice with good comfort. Very welcoming and very discreet owners. A stay that makes you want to come back just !

We had a wonderful stay at "Le mas des Cypres" a few minutes away from Cahors and in the vicinity of great touristic sites in the Lot department. The two-floors house was clean and well equipped. It could easily accomodate a family of four, we even had an additionnal guest on site. The landlady is easily available and always helpful. Concerning the property around the house, kids enjoyed the many outdoor toys and swings available, and of course the swimming pool (very well tended).

Our family had a marvellous time in this comfortable, spotless and beautifully equipped stone farmhouse. The saltwater swimming pool was lovely and our girls (3 and 6 years old) enjoyed the play equipment in the garden, especially the trampoline. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding area (visits to Rocamadour, Cirque La Popie and river swimming in the Lot and Cele were highlights) and Virginia welcomed us warmly. We would happily stay here again on a future visit to the Dordogne - thanks again Virginia!

Had a really great holiday here. Weather was hot yet the gite stayed pretty cool throughout. Pool and views are fantastic and the local town has plenty of very good restaurants. For a great day out - go canoeing 20 minutes up the road - more fantastic views and great fun especially for kids who adore it. Lots of places to visit too although i did prefer relaxing by the pool in the sun and when you are there watch the sun sets and shooting stars. Thanks to Ginny and Paul who helped make it a great and informative holiday for all of us - will definetly go again, especially as the kids want to book now.

The gite met all our expectations and is as the pictures on this site show. The house was clean and well equiped, with a good climate and beautiful views. As there was a nice playground and a clean and gated pool, we didn't have to worry about our children. The lovely daugther of the owners of the gite spend quite a bit of time playing with our 4 year old and so provided the 'enterainment team' of the site. Adding up to the relaxing experience was the comfortable bed so we did not wake up with sore backs this trip. The other sleeping room, with two single beds, is always cool and so perfect for children in hot summertime. The owners are friendly, welcoming and helpful. As they've been living in Constans for about 8 years, they know the area very well. Cahors is a 10-15 min drive and is a nice town with good bakeries and supermarkets, and a market twice a week. The Lot has many other interesting places and Toulouse is worth a visit as well, but being at 'La Provencal' was - as we found out - never a dull thing to do.
