Beautiful rural peace& quiet

Superb setting, beautiful old house & we enjoyed our evening walks to the church. Pool was lovely but would really benefit from a bubble cover to keep temperature up ! Otherwise a perfect stay.

Lovely family week in La Salle farmhouse

We really enjoyed our week at La Salle. The pool was beautifully clean and just the right size for our four grandchildren, aged 2,5,5 and 8. They also loved the large garden and had lots of running races, hide and seek etc. It was a very hot week but the old house was nice and cool inside. Furnishings etc are simple and unfussy, making it ideal for young children as you don't have to worry about them breaking things! All in all it was excellent value and Graham looked after us really well. Thank you.

Wonderful relaxing week - beautiful, peaceful. Did not want to leave!

The 7 of us had a superb week! The house is full of character, the rooms comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with utensils. The pool is superb and the children enjoyed the table tennis. This house is located in a very peaceful rural setting - sitting having dinner watching the sun set, the local church become floodlit and the stars come out was the perfect end to each day. Albi is well worth visiting, as is Cordes-Sur-Ciel. We also enjoyed a day canoeing down the Tarn from Trebas to Ambialet (take swim stuff and a picnic). Would definitely return!.

Absolutely perfect

The house and all the facilities were absolutely fantastic, it had everything you could possibly need and the layout of the house and surrounding areas was perfect. The pool was perfect (had shallow areas for our daughter) and was really well maintained during our stay. Graham who looks after the property was very helpful and made sure everything was well looked after, and that we were having a good time. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for an easy place to stay, with total peace and quiet around. A really lovely find!

Beautiful family home in idyllic surroundings

We were a party of two large-ish families, and fitted perfectly into this beautiful house - there is a children's room with 2 sets of bunks and a large sofa-bed. The house provides a perfect balance of practical utility and homely touches, and the generous spirit of the owners is evident in many small details, for example - offering the use of their firewood for the wonderful open fire in the dining room, inviting us to eat any ripe fruit we found in the orchard (apricots, when we were there), and a stack of paper plates on our arrival, to make up for the lack of dishwasher (the only drawback for a party of our size!) Our children enjoyed the pool, which was the perfect size, and the surroundings were really idyllic: rolling hills, church spires and not much else. We ate outside, used the bbq almost every day for lunch, visited Albi and its impressive cathedral, and generally had some much-needed R&R. The local agent was very helpful, and Derek made the booking a very amicable process. Highly recommended.

Why they chose this property

We first saw La Salle in September 2000; driving into what was then a farmyard the only sound being the background buzz of nature. Bliss . The middle of nowhere, incredible views, peace and quiet ; a complete contrast to city life. And a bit of a creative project too... 20 years later we are still at it!
In 2021 we put a new shower in the bathroom and retiled the bathroom floor . In 2022 we reconfigured upstairs to add a second bathroom, in what was a bedroom, and made the children's room into a twin bedroom. Next project : the attic!

What makes this property unique

Where to begin...
It's the perfect size for a family ; a small group of friends or a couple
Children love it - the pool; collecting bugs, baseball/rounders in the yard, hide and seek in the outbuildings, building fires; circuits..
It 's cool in the summer and warm in the winter
It brings out the inner artist / chef /writer in you
Its quiet but close to some great locations ; the city of Albi, the Tarn at Ambialet, Brousse le Chateau and Cordes de Ciel.
It feels like home.
