Perfect setting
This house was perfect for our adult family of 8. Plenty of space, the pool looks over the beautiful rolling fields of southern France. The hosts were welcoming and friendly, very easy to work with.

Beautiful barn conversation
We loved our stay at this property. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and the owners have done a fantastic job restoring the old barn into accommodation. Alain and Sylvie are helpful, friendly and really thoughtful in making sure we all had a lovely stay. There are lots of interesting places to visit in the area - you definitely need a car though. We highly recommend this as a place to stay!

Beautiful views, peaceful stay
The property is a beautifully renovated barn which adjoins the owner's big old stone farmhouse. The interior is well proportioned for multiple occupancy - we were two families with four children ranging from 7-14 and the accommodation was ample for those numbers. It is extremely well appointed with matching crockery, cutlery and a wealth of cooks' tools like blenders. Since one of our numbers is a keen cook, this was very welcome. There is an issue - as previously noted - with the soundproofing from one of the twin rooms to the large double ensuite downstairs. We jiggled the children around to overcome this but if you have noise sensitive adults or light sleepers then they need to go upstairs. The owner was very attentive during our stay and was on top of all the Covid 19 cleaning and sanitising precautions, which we were pleased to note. I believe this meant that the books, DVDs and games which are listed had been removed, so during the pandemic you may want to bring extras if you want entertainment. A welcome pack of milk, eggs, bread and juice would have been welcome - especially for those, like us, who had had a 24 hour journey by car. With check in at 6pm it does mean that there is no time to go and find a supermarket and you will need to stock up before you arrive. The pool is particularly lovely (and heated) and we made much use of this every day. It has beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. It is worth noting, as it is not particularly clear from the listing, that this is a shared facility with the owner and his grandchildren who used it when we weren't (even if we were still around the property) and this meant we didn't always feel as secluded and private as we would have liked. We had a wonderful stay. Close to shops and only an hour's drive to Carcassonne. Thank you!

Lovely place, lovely hosts
Our hosts Alain and Sophie went out of their way to help us when we arrived on May 1st, a national Labor Day holiday where everything closes. They found us a great local restaurant, La Bombadiere (sp?), the kind of country french cooking that our group loves. When we arrived late due to delays getting our car (again, the holiday where no one is working), Alain escorted us to the restaurant and talked to the owners. We had a great dinner to start our stay in the Toulouse area and the Canal du Midi. The house is very well appointed and nicely designed for a large group or family. The location in the country is one that our group prefers and we were not disappointed as the drives and views are wonderful. Albi is a must see. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and our self-driving trip down the Canal du Midi. Thank you Alain and Sophie!

Great family gite
Alain and Sylvie , the owners who live next door are charming and speak very good English so easy to understand all the instructions about the swimming pool which was perfect with a large top step for toddlers to splash around on. House very well equipped with lots maps and info on what to do in the Tarn. Hair dryers are provided . Great space and 5 large double beds 4 WC’s . Charming barn conversion . No bedrooms share a wall with another bedroom but the noise insulation from living area from below is poor. It did not bother us at all as we were all family . We would go there again

Petit paradis
Nous avons passé un superbe séjour dans cette belle maison rénovée au milieu des champs. Paisible et conviviale. La maison est assez grande pour qu’à 9, nous ne nous sommes pas marché les uns sur les autres. Un havre de paix pour se relaxer et déconnecter.
