An exceptional area to visit

You could have a lovely holiday here but keep your party to 6 maximum and don't use the attic room in summer!! The area is beautiful but the garden is surprisingly noisy as there is a lot of traffic through the village The three main bedrooms are super. The pool is well shaded and the outdoor dining area is good but cramped

Beautiful house and

We had an excellent stay. The rooms and beds are good, het kitchen well equiped and the location (on the town square) great. The owner was very communicative and pleasant to us - even after we managed to accidentally destroy the kettle (sorry deborah!), so that is a big plus as well. The only real drawback I can think of with this accomodation is that the nearest store / bakery are about 45 min walk (but a 6 min drive),

Lovely property with everything you need for a relaxing holiday

We couldn't fault this property. Spotlessly clean and with everything you need including spacious kitchen, lounge and outside seating areas. Lovely bedrooms too. We were a party of 8 and had plenty of space. There are a good number of bathrooms and toilets too. Garden is lovely and pool is a good size and well maintained. Vieux is a small pretty town which in August at least has a weekly evening market on a Wednesday where you can buy local produce, wine and food. There is a town with bakery, well stocked shop, pharmacy etc about 3 miles away. A supermarket about 20 minutes away. There are lots of beautiful hilltop towns and villages (many with markets on certain days) to visit and wander around and Albi with it's stunning Cathedral is only half an hour away. Everything about the house is bigger than it looks in the pictures. None of us wanted to leave. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks for letting us stay!!

Schönes, ruhiges Presbyterium

Das Presbyterium liegt im kleinen Ort Vieux und ist die perfekte Oase. Man kann von dort viele Touren unternehmen: Wandern, Kanu fahren, über Märkte bummeln. Das Haus hat alles, was man braucht. Im Sommer ist das Haus kühl, so dass sich auch manche Spinne wohl fühlt.

Beautiful house and gardens in peaceful village, would love to stay again!

My husband and I stayed here for a week with our three children and my parents as we were in the area for a family wedding and wanted a peaceful base for inbetween events. It was perfect, the house is beautiful and the gardens were stunning. We felt like we were in a fairytale! The children loved playing outside and also in the attic which they used as a playroom as it had plently of board games and toys to keep them entertained. Everything was perfectly clean (which is no mean feat in such an old house!) and the pool was spotless on our arrival. Check in and check out were nice and simple with a lockbox system, and communication with the owner was great throughout our stay. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could need and there were plenty of towels and extra bedding etc. It was also very hamdy to have a washing machine during our stay. No phone signal (which is to be expected in this area) but WiFi available and English TV channels if required. There is a supermarket a short drive away and lots of lovely villages/towns to visit (by car) nearby if you wish to eat out. The locals were very welcoming, offering helpful advice and friendly conversation. We would 100% recommend staying here and hope to do so ourselves in the future!

Demeure idéale pour un séjour en famille

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans cette charmante propriété. Les 5 chambres, chacune équipée d'une salle de bain, ont beaucoup de charme. La grande pièce de vie nous a permis de passer de très bonnes soirées ensemble. La cuisine est très bien équipée. La météo ne nous a malheureusement pas permis de profiter du petit jardin et de la piscine, pourtant bien attirants. Le petit village est calme et pittoresque. La région est magnifique. Nous recommandons ce lieu.
