Peace, Tranquility, Great Views And Tons To See

Beautifully presented and maintained Borionove gives you what you need to live quietly and comfortably. The locale provides opportunities for some fabulous day trips for interest and exercise.

Not to be missed are Albi and Lautrec; and Carcassonne if you want a longer trip.

Lu is a great host with a lovely welcome who is rightly proud to show you her beautiful Borio.

We have rented many properties in France over the years and Borio Nove certainly rates as one of the best. It's a very spacious and light old farmhouse, full of character and very tastefully and comfortably furnished. The house has its own very private large terrace with enough shade for lunchtimes and catching the late sun in the evenings. It opens out into vast grounds with a pleasant short walk around to the pool, which is in a lovely garden setting with views out over the countryside.

Lu was a very generous and hospitable host, and provided lots of information about local places to see. We didn't venture too far, but enjoyed Albi and the Gaillac vineyards, the picturesque Cordes-sur-Ciel, Laurec and market day at Realmont. It's a beautiful area of sunflowers and vineyards with lots to see - but always nice to come back to our relaxing pool.

A beautiful peaceful, place and such a wonderfully welcoming host! We swam each evening in the pool surrounded by olives and lavender, watching the humming bird hawk moths & butterflies, and enjoying the view across the fields. The cottage was so comfortable and well equipped, and near to amazing placed to visit - Albi, Lautrec and further afield, the Black Mountain. Would definitely love to go there again..

We spent a fantastic two weeks at Borio Nove. The cottage is a real home from home and is incredibly well equipped. It is set in a beautiful peaceful location with stunning gardens and a fantastic large pool which came in incredibly useful when the temperatures hit the high 30s on a number of days!

We enjoyed lovely days out to Albi, Castres, Cordes sur Ciel and Carcassonne. Would particularly recommend lunch in the beautiful garden of Le Clos Sainte Cecile near the cathedral in Albi. We also had a wonderful day driving along the Tarn River from Albi to Millau and then through the breathtaking Gorges du Tarn.

It was lovely having Lu, the owner, next door - great hospitality and always on hand to answer any questions without being intrusive.

Would highly recommend staying in this gorgeous cottage.

I'm writing this from the living room of this beautiful cottage, in the middle of the mid-Tarn rolling countryside. This former chapel is actually a full-sized home, well-equipped, clean, spacious, comfortable and bright. This is our third stay here, and we would love to just move in permanently! It's in a farming area and there's plenty of wonderful birds and wildlife, but at the same time it's just minutes from Realmont with its great Wednesday market and handy Intermarche. Albi is 20 min north, Lautrec is about the same to the south; and we got here from Toulouse airport in just over an hour. Last autumn we loved having our own fireplace, in April the nightingales were amazing, and now in high summer we'll spend some more time poolside before heading home all too soon. And you could not ask for a more considerate and helpful hostess than Lu. It's great to have the privacy of your own home, while knowing the owner is next door and happy to help with any questions. Thoroughly recommended!
