General Information

LOCATION:

This pretty stone built country house on the edge of a small hamlet has the most superb pool and garden area and is perfect for a quiet relaxing holiday. It is extremely well equipped and is within easy driving distance of Najac and St Antonin is around 30 minutes, both of which are magnificent medieval towns retaining all their wonderful architecture and charm and remain unspoilt by the passage of time. Villefranche is reached in 20 minutes and, as well as the popular Thursday market, provides all your needs for in-house catering.

Surrounded by countryside, this is a delightful place to spend a quiet simple holiday. It is a paradise for nature lovers, walkers and those who prefer to simply relax by the pool. On the edge of a small hamlet and with Angora goats as neighbours, you can enjoy the true rural French scene.

Chosen by the famous travel writer Alistair Sawday for his book Special Places to Stay in France for Self Catering.

There is a bedroom on this floor and a further two bedrooms on the second floor.
