The best holiday house yet!
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.

Peaceful tranquility in a beautiful farmhouse in Tarn
Our whole group had a fantastic stay in this beautiful house which is situated on a hillside with the most beautiful views. The house is surrounded by forests and fields and it’s teeming wildlife and makes a perfect spot to relax and unwind. The house is very well equipped and we rustled up great meals in the well equipped kitchen using the fantastic local produce. The pool area is lovely with lots of sun beds and umbrellas and there are plenty of games/ table tennis to entertain everyone. The views from the house are really special and watching sunsets from the front terrace was a favourite daily routine. This area is one of our favourites in France with so many lovely ancient villages to visit and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. We loved the Sunday market in St Antonin , we visited Albi and Najac which were our longest trips out at just under an hour and many other villages very close by. The castles at Penne and Bruniquel are both well worth visiting. We’ll definitely be back!

The best sunset view and lovely large house with pool
We had a great stay and there's plenty to see relatively nearby. Lots of kitchen equipment, wifi was fine and the pool was a great size. The views were amazing too. definitely follow the advice of the owners to view nearby ancient villages and we went quite far out one day to Carcassone as it's incredible but a 2 hour drive. Lots local though. The supermarket around 15 mins drive away too. Recommended!

Holiday in the hills
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

Wonderful stay in French Countryside
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.

Week in July with family group of 10
Excellent pre trip communication with owner Anne who is super helpful !The farmhouse is as beautiful as in the picture, lovely inside space and thoughtful provisions, utensils etc. Excellent pool. So peaceful and butterflies were amazing! It’s somewhat remote, which was unnerving for some of our city accustomed party, but once persuaded outside they too enjoyed the outside space. Surprisingly no flies / pests!Must play boules! Fantastic fun! Even got to see the Tour de France pass by a km away!!! Fabulous places to visit not far. Loved Cordes-sur-Ciel. Need to plan shopping for food as larger stores are 30 -40 minutes or so . We needed more fans as weather was hot and were swiftly reimbursed. Met the housekeepers as we were leaving who were lovely. Excellent value and highly recommended! Thanks so much! This place certainly lived up to its reviews!

Stone farmhouse restoration with lovely garden. Perfect. Seclusion. Only noise is wildlife which is varied and interesting (Lizards/Deer/butterflies in abundance/humming bird moths/Jays/nightingales/amongst many others). Facilities great. Beautiful house and spot great. Pool super with views over the wooded valley. Stunning sunsets. Plenty of space indoors and outdoors for family meals. Accessible for markets and supermarkets about 9-13 miles away. Two fridge/freezers. TV with wifi. Table tennis table. Nearby country restaurants. Amazing gravity defying castles in nearby Bruniquel and Penne. Local Kayaking. Cordes sur Ciel easy drive away (medieval Artisanal Village-visit a must). You can do lots or as little as you wish. You can eat out or cook local produce at home or BBQ it. Washing machine and dishwasher in kitchen. Linger late into the warm evening with a glass of your favourite and let all cares and worries melt away. Embrace French lifestyle. We never go back to the same holiday home...this time however I think we will make an exception. Get thee behind me lad!

A wonderful stay
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.

Calme et repos
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.

De bonnes vacances
Nous avons passés une belle semaine à penne. Le cadre verdoyant est reposant et calme. La piscine est très agréable et la maison bien équipée. Seul point négatif le chemin qui mène à la maison est assez accidenté ce qui rend les balades en vélos et en pousettes difficile pour les enfants. Nous recommandons ce lieu pour les familles qui cherchent du calme et de la tranquillité mais un peu moins pour les ados qui se trouverons excentrés des animations des grandes villes.

Une très jolie maison, restaurée et entretenue avec goût. Piscine superbe jouxtant la maison. Calme absolu, aucune autre maison a moins de 500 mètres.

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.

Calme, repos, nature, fantastique!
Nous avons passé de très agréables vacances dans cet endroit fantastique, au milieu de la nature, ou on n' entend rien d' autre que les chants et les cris des oisseaux, et les cigales. La nuit, le ciel est couvert d' étoiles., fabuleux. La maison est très spacieuse et bien equipée. La présence de deux frigidaires/congélateurs offre un grand comfort et évite qu'il faut faire des courses chaque jour. La piscine est grande et bien entretenue. Les petits et grands enfants étaient ravis. La région offre beaucoup de jolies endroits à découvrir. En plus, les gens qui 's occupent de la maison sont très gentils et donnent beaucoup de confiance aux locataires, ce qui est très agréable! Il y a seulement un petit point qui était un peu gênant pour notre compagnie. Dans notre famille pas mal de personnes sont allergiques et plusieurs entre eux avait le néz bouché pendant la nuit et le matin. La cause était peut-être le tapis qui couvre le sol partout à l' étage ou se trouvent les chambres à coucher. A part de ça c était magnifique!
