Beautiful barn conversion and fabulous pool
We stayed for two weeks in July 2016 (family of five: three teenage children ages 14 to 18).
The barn is lovely: an imaginative conversion with lots of space. The area is quiet and rural - it has a lovely 'away from it all' feel, without being isolated. A car (or bicycle at the least) is essential.
The adjoining games barn houses darts and table tennis - we had several hard-fought family tournaments! There is also a petanque pitch.
The pool is fantastic - situated perhaps 50m from the barn, it is huge with delightful views across the valley.
Philippe and Sabine are excellent hosts - we enjoyed wine and tapas on their terrace as we chatted about their 12 year project to restore the house and barn. They are also very quick to respond to any queries or concerns - we asked if there were any spare fans, as two of the bedrooms didn't have them and were rather warm - Philippe immediately ordered two from Amazon and they were delivered the next day.
This was our first time in the Tarn-et-Garonne region. It is a lovely rural area with relatively few tourists outside the hotspots. We particularly loved the night market in Lauzerte, kayaking on the Aveyron at St Antonin Noble Val, visiting Cordes sur Ciel and Saint Cirque Lapopie, and exploring the caves at Gouffre de Padirac.
So, in summary, this is a lovely holiday home for a relaxing, away from it all break in truly rural France.
