Maison de caractère avec piscine près de Senouillac

Such a lovely house! We had a wonderful time. The pool is great, the terrasse is perfect, and there is a boulangerie just down the road. Communication with the host was impeccable (even when we couldn't get the washing machine to work). It's wise to bring anti-mosquito protection, or head asap to Leclerc to get what you need. Otherwise, idyllic!

We spent a week at Senouillac in August and would be delighted to return some day. The house is cool (even in the heat) and spacious for four or five people, and has a real sense of being a traditional French home. The terrace under the pigeonnier (the centuries old pigeon loft) has beautiful views out over the valley to the village of Mauriac nearby. Sitting under the pergola having supper as the sun went down, or eating breakfast there in the cool of the morning were both a delight. We also loved the pool and fig trees! The temperature was in the mid 30s while we were in France, so after a hard day's sightseeing, we looked forward to a dip in the cool water. And we had bowlfuls of sweet figs picked from the trees. We spent some time relaxing at the house, but it was also easy to visit some of the fascinating places in the region (we went to Albi, Castres, Cordes-sur-Ciel, Toulouse, and toured some of the Bastide villages). There are some excellent restaurants nearby in Gaillac, but the kitchen though slightly old-fashioned is nonetheless well-equipped for cooking at home. And we loved the board games left in the sitting room - family poker and Parisian Monopoly were favourites. The welcome on arrival from the family's local representative (who lives half an hour away in Albi) was very friendly and the arrangements at the house were well explained to us. She made clear that she would be happy to be contacted with any queries. We were sorry to leave at the end of our stay, and would be very happy to go back. In short, we would strongly recommend this property.

"agreable sejour trés beau temps"
