About this property

Child and pet friendly Stone Farmhouse with private heated pool on 2 acres

1 hour 15 mins drive from Toulouse’s Blagnac Airport or Rodez Airport, our 18th century stone farmhouse is situated in the heart of beautiful countryside, nestled in a hamlet, with unimpeded panoramic views.
Relax on chaise lounges around the saltwater pool, heated May through October, and spend cocktail hour seated by the old barn, taking in the artistic majesty of the historically listed 17th century Pigeonnier, considered by locals to be the 'jewel in the crown' of the medieval village of Caylus.
'Le Pigeonnier' has 3 bedrooms, 2 with queen beds and 1 small bedroom with 2 single beds. (This room is best for young children)
Additionally, there is a full bed on the landing upstairs, which has a flat screen TV with English FreeSat and French Orange Satellite , and a day bed that can be converted into a queen bed in the living room, excellent for guests who don't want to deal with stairs.
All beds have 'Shabby Chic' linens and quilts, and down comforters. There are reversible heating/AC units throughout the house.
There is a bathroom with toilet, washbasin and shower/bath upstairs, and a bathroom with toilet, washbasin and shower downstairs.
Additionally, the bedroom above the kitchen has a small en suite bathroom with a toilet, washbasin and shower.
The living room features comfortable sofas and arm chairs, a wood burning stove, stereo system, flat screen with hundreds of channels from UK FreeSat and French Orange Satellite TV. We also have plenty of board games for interactive guests (scrabble, monopoly, chess, checkers etc).
A comfortable daybed next to our library of books offers the perfect spot to read or take a siesta. There is fiber optic wifi internet throughout house with plenty of discreet work spaces for the traveler who has to continue to communicate in the fast paced world they have almost left behind. Land line telephone has free calls to Europe and the US - including cell phones.
The kitchen is extremely well stocked, satisfying the most expert cooks. There is plenty of cutlery, plates, glassware, saucepans, salad bowls etc for any imagined meal.
The rustic dining table next to the wood burning stove offers the perfect spot to enjoy all the local delicacies from the various village markets.
The bamboo, Ibiza inspired, pergola, outside the kitchen, offers perfect al fresco dining both, night and day. The roof is water proofed so if there is a surprise rain storm, you will still enjoy outside dining!
The gardens are extensive with plenty of areas for quiet repose. The pool area has a fence around it and a childproof gate. In the pool cabana there is a seating area for 6 people, to enjoy watching the sun come up whilst sipping their morning tea or coffee.
The pool is salt water and is heated through the months of May through October. There are 6 sun beds around the pool and 3 parasols.
There is a hammock in another part of the garden, under tall pine trees, and of course
the roofed seating area to the side of the living room is a lovely spot for cocktail hour, where the heat of the day gives the perfect excuse to sample the local wines. There is a ping pong table in the garden, 3 bikes at your disposal, and and large stone barbeque in the garden for deliciously simple summer meals.
The stunning Pigeonnier, a piece of historic architecture in the garden, stands majestically for your own personal delight. A perfect subject for artists.

CAYLUS
The medieval village of Caylus nestles in the beautiful Bonnette Valley on the border between Quercy and Rouergue. 12 minutes drive from the farmhouse, it is a thriving village with a boulangerie, a butcher, two small supermarkets, two bars and and three restaurants.
This region features oak forests, rolling hills, spectacular river gorges and valleys, medieval bastide hilltop towns, amazingly preserved castles, warm and friendly people in local villages, each with its own vibrant weekly farmers market.
Predominantly a farming area, the fruit and vegetables are outstanding as is the local wine, duck and goats cheese.
St Antonin Noble Val, situated in the dramatic Aveyron Gorge, is only a short drive away where you can go kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing and cycling or simply just enjoy wandering around the famous Sunday morning market. This village is so picturesque it has been the centre of numerous films, most recently '100 Foot Journey', starring Helen Mirren.
There are an abundance of places to visit within easy reach such as Cahors, Montauban, Albi, Corde-sur-Ciel, Narjac and Toulouse, France's fourth largest city.
For those who like driving, the Mediterranean coast and Bordeaux are both about 3 hours drive. Finally, don’t forget the wine. “Le Pigeonnier” is situated between the wine producing regions of Gaillac and Quercy and a visit to the vineyards is recommended.

Lovely property in an amazing setting.
From initial booking our contact with Camilla was very helpful. She answered our questions promptly and provided thorough information as our stay approached. The property was in a beautiful rural location but within 15 minutes of Caylus with bars and a small but well stocked supermarket. We loved the pool surrounded by lavender and views of the countryside. The house itself was clean and well equipped for our group of 6. The air conditioning was a real bonus with temperatures of 30 -38 degrees during our stay. We found our stay very relaxing and would certainly recommend the property for those seeking a break in the French countryside.

Didnt want to leave this enchanting spot!
We arrived at the house just as the sun was setting onto the stunning pigeonnaire and gardens. It's so beautiful there at that time of day! The house is like something from a fairy tale, surrounded by fields with wildflowers. There is a large comfortable living room with a big open fireplace and tasteful comfortable furniture. The kitchen is well stocked and opens onto a shaded patio where you can have all your meals. The house and gardens are very well looked after and have such a great energy. We had a full moon when we were staying there and the sight of it rising up above the hill was one I will never forget. You do need a car as it's ten minutes drive to Caylus and there are lots of picturesque villages to visit in the immediate area. I was there with my sister, our husbands and our Mum and all of us loved the place. I would like to go back in Winter and sit by that gorgeous fireplace! Camilla couldn't have been more helpful with the questions we had before we arrived and answered all our emails promptly (and let me tell you there were A LOT of questions!). All in all a great place to stay with family and friends! Kelly P - Los Angeles, USA

Pure relaxation
We've spent two relaxing weeks in this lovely cottage in August with two kids and a dog. The cottage is beautifully furnished with some great antique finds - I was tempted to put some in the boot of the car to take home ;-).The pool and garden are very well kept; we enjoyed lounging by the pool, swinging in the hammock and the occasional competitive game of table tennis. The cottage is very remote so a bit of driving is involved to explore the area but the towns are stunning and the kayaking in Saint Antonin was great fun. The owner Camilla has been a pleasure to deal with, she responded quickly to any emails despite the time difference. We can definitely highly recommend the farm house!!

Calme et confort dans une belle maison rustique
Notre famille a passé une semaine chez Camilla et nous avons adoré: le charme et le côté rustique de la maison (beaucoup de caractère, on y sent l’énergie et le temps que les propriétaires ont mis pour décorer et équiper la maison), le coin piscine, le beau jardin avec sa vue sur le pigeonnier, les multiples coins salons extérieurs, l’attention aux détails pour rendre le séjour confortable, la cuisine très bien équipée, la propreté, les jeux de société et multiples jeux d’extérieur mis à disposition (Camilla avait même acheté des petits buts et ballons de foot car j’avais mentionné que mes enfants adoraient le foot), et l’emplacement, très paisible mais avec un accès assez rapide en voiture au village le plus proche pour les courses et la restauration si besoin. La communication avec la propriétaire a été fluide et rapide de la réservation au checkout. Le guide de la maison est très complet. À savoir: dans la région de manière générale, il y a beaucoup d’insectes volants en été. La maison est équipée pour limiter les nuisances ce qui est très appreciable, mais l’extérieur (jardin et surtout piscine) ne peut pas l’être donc c’est mieux de le savoir à l’avance pour éviter les frustrations une fois sur place. Les guêpes à la piscine n’étaient pas agressives donc nous arrivions à cohabiter et avons pu bien profiter.

Magnifique séjour !
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans une maison superbe, très propre et parfaitement équipée. Le grand jardin est fort accueillant et son aménagement est pensé pour que l'on s'y sente bien. Le pigeonnier lui donne un charme particulier. Quant à la piscine elle est fort appréciée! Camilla notre hôte s'est montrée très disponible et très attentive au fait que nous passions un bon moment. Une bouteille de vin ainsi que des chips aveyronnaises étaient là à notre arrivée et la cuisine était pourvue des produits de première nécessité ce qui fort appréciable.

Un havre de paix décoré avec beaucoup de goût
Le Pigeonnier est un endroit charmant, situé dans un hameau blotti en lisière du causse du Quercy. La maison est confortable et joliment décorée; il fait bon y vivre en profitant notamment du jardin et de la piscine qui donnent le sentiment d'être en pleine nature. Sans parler du pigeonnier lui même, qui donne à l'ensemble un goût de carte postale.

The Pigionier is a very comfortable and cousy family holidayhome
The Pigionier is a very comfortable and cousy family holidayhome with a very well equipted kitchen, a cosy livingroom, three sufficient bathrooms and two separate, spacious sleeping rooms. Everything you want from a holidayhome is there. The garden is large and has four spaces for leisure and relax, a nice swimming pool and lots of outdoor furniture. The views are nice and the location is very tranquile but not isolated. Caylus and Saint Antonin Val Noble are the two villages nearby where you can find all the shops and restaurants you need. These towns are however not on walking distance, you need a car to get there. But the roads are good so there is no problem. During our stay we faced only one problem and that is the amount of flies inside the house and in the garden. Mayby it was the time of the year (july), but there were moments during the day and night that to many of these little buggers were active and spoiled our sunbathing, reading sessions and outdoor eatings. Also there were many bees and wasps around the swimming pool with was a bit annoying during swimming.
