A travel writer with London's Evening Standard stayed here with her family this summer - and we were thrilled to read her enthusiastic write-up on the house in her subsequent article on the region. La Poujoulie sits high on a plateau, on the edge of tiny hamlet, with far reaching views over farmland & rolling hills in every direction and here you will discover the timeless way of life that is rural France. Spacious and comfortable it lends itself well to accommodating 2 families or 2 generations on holiday as it consists of the main farmhouse (3 bedrooms) and the cottage (2 bedrooms)facing each other across a pretty central courtyard, each with their own living room and satellite TV. With a games room in the barn (table tennis/pool/table football) bicycles, a solar heated pool & a sunny garden, it provides a variety of interests at home and within easy reach there's lots to do (sailing/waterskiing/ canoeing/golf) and interesting places to visit (Cordes, Albi, Najac).
