About this property

Restored french rural country cottage with heated pool and peaceful grounds

Le Petit Soyc is an idyllic private escape from every day life, ideal for families or parties of up to ten. As the cottage is surrounded by fields and woodland, the large (10m x 5m) fenced, and optionally heated, pool and multiple terraces are very private and capture the sun day long. Inside, the 18th century stone cottage has been sympathetically converted and updated to create five bedrooms (3 double ensuite and 2 twins sharing a bathroom). The open-plan living area has comfortable leather sofas in two seating areas around the original fireplace, and a well equipped 49 sq m kitchen opening on to a large kitchen terrace overlooking the pool. Outside there is plenty of space for children to run around and the pool is fenced for child safety. Some games are provided, as well as Satellite TV/DVD for UK TV and Radio channels. There is no Wifi/Internet at the property although your mobile 3G and 4G should enable some internet connectivity.

Located amongst peaceful rolling hills, it is only 60 miles from Toulouse airport, or one days drive from the channel ports of Caen or St Malo. A car is required due to the rural location, however the historic cities of Cahors and Montauban are both within half an hours drive, with many smaller historic towns and bastides closer. For the mildly energetic, apart from the large (10m x 5m) secluded, fenced, illuminated and optionally heated swimming pool, Croquet and Boules sets are provided as well as an outdoor Table Tennis (Ping-Pong) table and a couple of mountain bikes for the local lanes. Golf and Tennis are available nearby. For the less energetic, sunloungers, backgammon, playing cards and the barbecue will suffice, with shaded areas available outside as well as lots of sun terrace.

Le Petit Soyc - Perfect
We stayed at Le Petit Soyc in August 2023. This is a fantastic villa. Accommodation is very comfortable. Plenty of room for 8 of us with room to spare. The layout is superb. The kitchen is big, modern and well equipped. The outdoor dining area is really good. The swimming pool, pool house and shade is also spot on. We had a fantastic stay. Temperature was over 40 degrees! Local area is peaceful and beautiful. I would definitely recommend 100%. Property owner is as fantastic as the villa!

Great property in a beautiful rural area
Great property - nicely decorated, clean, spacious. Tables inside and out both perfect for group dining. Lovely outside space, garden and swimming pool. Beautiful quiet rural area, but just a short drive to shops, so we had everything we needed. Definitely would recommend.

Fantastic Holiday
We visited the Petit Soyc for two weeks in August and all had a fantastic time. We were five adults and three children, and all agreed that this was the best villa that we'd been to. The property is situated on the ridge of a hill and so, whichever way you look, there are views of beautiful rolling countryside; the only neighbours you can occasionally hear are the friendly donkeys from across the valley. The pool area is great - safely fenced in and with room for loungers around it. It is next to a totally covered area, which comes out from the shed. We put the table tennis table up here, but was good for the children (and adults) to sometimes get into the shade. There's lots of space on the grass to the front and the sides of the house for games as well. The property is beautiful inside with a huge kitchen diner, that leads into a comfy seating area by the TV. Outside the kitchen is large terrace, with huge round table, that catches the sun until the end of the day. Within a short drive there are lots of markets, petty towns and vineyards - we picked most of those off in the mornings and then spent the afternoons by the pool. This is a lovely property in a beautiful, quiet rural area. If you want to get away and totally relax, then we would definitely recommend the Petit Soyc.

Wonderful holiday, fabulous house
I can't fault the property, it was beautifully clean, tidy and very well equipped. It was large enough that everyone had their own space without feeling on top of each other but still had a lovely intimate feel. The outside of the property was fantastic, the pool is great (the kids are really missing it), the patio areas are a sun trap and the space at the front of the property was great for playing French cricket or boule. We had a fantastic holiday and hope to return again.

Why they chose this property

Originally a very basic farm cottage, when purchased by my parents there was no running water, sewerage, electricity or heating other than a large fireplace and a well! The previous owners had moved out in in the 1970's. After extensive refurbishment in 1990, the cottage was re-born with 3 ensuite bedrooms and all modern conveniences, including a swimming pool. 20 years later in 2010, a further major rebuilding project updated the infrastructure and roof, and added two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a huge 49 sq m kitchen/dining space with an outdoor terrace 'room'.

What makes this property unique

The idea behind Petit Soyc was to create a well equipped and easily accessible retreat where we could escape to, quickly relax, and slow down from the frenetic pace of our normal lives. Whilst mobile phones and satellite TV can keep you in touch with reality - we urge you to switch them off and savour the slow pace of life of this region. As Jamie Oliver commented in his TV programme on the area ('Jamie does the Pyrenees') - "the locals are not rich, but they live like kings!". If you like great local french food and wine - this is the area for you.
