About this property

Old farmhouse in open country with stunning views and private pool

La Calvetié nestles in the lovely hills of the Tarn, 80 kilometres east of Toulouse, surrounded by open fields and woodlands, and has its own meadow and a magnificent view towards the Pyrenees.

The property occupies about an acre of land. The house has been restored to create a beautiful, light, relaxing environment, sleeping ten people in comfort. It is available for Saturday to Saturday bookings (for one week or more), is fully equipped with all modern conveniences and has its own private pool (8 x 4 m) and two terraces for dining and for sunbathing. The pool has a child safety cover and a separate safety fence, if required. There are also bicycles for grown-ups, badminton equipment, indoor games, TV, DVD and good WiFi access, and miles of countryside to explore. Near the orchard is a boules court, with a sitting area where you can enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sun go down.

The house is arranged over three floors.

Ground floor

On the ground floor, there is a large open-plan sitting room/dining room/kitchen, with an open fireplace (not needed in summer!) and two french windows leading to the south-facing garden. There are two large sofas and two armchairs. The dining area has an extendable table to seat up to 12. The fully equipped kitchen includes an electric cooker, dishwasher, fridge and coffee maker.

Next to this is another large room, providing an extra sitting room and also giving the opportunity for children to have their own space. Again, there are french windows to the garden. The ground floor also features a downstairs loo and a utility room, with washing machine, ironing facilities, microwave, a second fridge and separate freezer, and storage.

Bedrooms

On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, all with south-facing views, one of them reached by its own private staircase. They have full length mirrors and good storage space. The beds are all exceptionally comfortable. Bed linen and towels (plus pool towels) are included in the rental charge. Each first floor bedroom has an en suite bathroom. In one of them, the bath and shower are separate; in the other two, the shower is within the bath.

There are two bedrooms in the attic. In each of these rooms there are two single beds, which can be arranged as one double bed if required. These two rooms share a bathroom, again with an integral shower in the bath.

Outside

On the south face of the house is a large dining terrace with table and chairs, and with fabulous views over open countryside towards the Pyrenees (which are sometimes visible in their full glory). The terrace is shaded by kiwi and jasmine plants, and adjacent to it is a barbecue.

A few yards down the hill from this top terrace is the 8 x 4 m (1.2 - 1.6 m deep) swimming pool, landscaped into the hillside. There are parasols on the grassed lower terrace just above it, providing plenty of shade for everyone. The pool has a Calypso fixed cover for child safety, easy to remove and replace as needed. It also has a complete safety fence that can be put up or not, as each tenant requests. There is lighting and power sockets for music at the poolside.

Other services

Wi-Fi connection, UK and French TV, central heating (unlikely to be required in summer), high chair and travel cot, a blow-up toddler bed, a stair gate to protect young children, a cleaning and bed-changing service each Saturday, swimming pool maintenance each Saturday, garden maintenance once a fortnight, indoor and outdoor games and two bicycles. There is parking for plenty of cars. Our letting manager is also our neighbouring farmer and can sort out any unforeseen problems.

Beautiful house and pool
We were delighted with the house and pool at La Calvetie. The house was well appointed with everything you need for a family holiday. The garden was large with plenty of space for children to play, the pool was a good size with lots of sun loungers and the Boules court was used every night. The house manager was on call to help out with any little problems. Highly recommended.

Lovely holiday'en famille'
Eight of us including grandsons 11& 8 spent a torrid week in during the August heatwave. The house is set in beautiful scenery far from the madding crowd but is well equipped with plenty of space. The pool was a lifesaver and was much used.It was super to see the stars and a superb view of Mars without any light pollution.Lots of butterflies and wildlife in general including a handsome hare who stopped by to stare at us one early morning. We all enjoyed playing late night boules with no one to disturb, even when taking late night swims. Life at La Calvétie was so congenial that we didn't travel much. We did go to Carcassonne and wished we hadn't as it was like the Seventh Circle of Hell on a hot August weekday! Lautrec and Castres were much nicer. The house is equally suitable for large family gatherings or for several couples as there are 4 bathrooms -thus avoiding morning grumblings!

Well equipped and well appointed home. Nice rural location with great views.
Easy to book and manage before visit to France. Clean and ready for arrival. Suited us well being 6 adults and 2 children: space for all to sit and read, swim, play in the garden or ramble. Thanks to Jim and Kay for sharing their home. A great week's break for us.

Beautiful house in delightful location
This is a wonderful house in a beautiful and peaceful location. It was perfect for our family holiday: plenty of room for eight of us, pool and boules to occupy us when we needed a break from just sitting in the sun and reading, and no neighbours to disturb! The house has been tastefully renovated, with all the facilities and equipment you could hope for. Hard to beat for a holiday get away!

Magnifique
Nichée sur les hauteurs et au milieu de nulle part, la Calvetié est un endroit magique. Une très belle maison, un domaine/jardin maginifque, une vue époustouflante, piscine et équipements au top, des salles de bains de rêve, nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Seul petit bémol sur la literie, question de goût probablement mais pas assez ferme pour nous.

Prachtige vakantie
Wij hadden een super tijd in deze mooie woning. Ondanks het minder goede weer hebben we toch alle dagen het zwembad kunnen gebruiken. Wij bezochten Albi, Lautrec, we maakten een wandeling aan de watervallen van Arifat. Wij verbleven hier samen met onze kinderen en kleinkinderen.

Zalige vakantie!
We hebben genoten van het ruime huis, het zwembad en de prachtige vergezichten. Het landschap en de rust, de natuur deden ons goed. We werden hartelijk welkom geheten door Jacqui en Gilbert. Ze stonden steeds voor ons klaar. Ook hadden we een zeer goed contact met de eigenaars. We ontvingen op voorhand een zeer uitgebreide huisgids zodat we goed voorbereid konden vertrekken. Het feit dat er er lakens, handdoeken (zowel voor badkamer als zwembad) voorzien werden en na een week vervangen werden, vonden we pure luxe. Op zich heeft La Calvetié alles wat nodig is voor een ideale vakantie. Toch genoten we ook van uitstapjes naar Lautrec, Castres, Albi, Carcassonne (vroeg vertrekken zodat je de drukte voor bent!), de markt in Réalmont (op woensdag) en Le Sidobre en de Montagne noire. Dit huis is een echte aanrader als je wil genieten van natuur en rust!

Excellent séjour entre amis
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour entre amis. La propriété était parfaitement adaptée et agencée à notre groupe (3 couples avec 4 enfants). Nous avons été en contact régulier avec les propriétaires pour échanger sur la situation actuelle (covid) et nos différentes demandes. La maison offre de très belles prestations. Piscine sécurisée. Maison au calme avec une superbe vue sur la splendide campagne du tarn. La petite ferme à proximité fera le bonheur des enfants...et l'accueil chaleureux et festif de Gilbert et Jacky enchantera votre séjour!

Nous recommandons vivement cette belle location magnifiquement située.
Nous (5 adultes et 4 enfants) avons passé un séjour idyllique dans la Calvetié pendant une semaine au mois d’aôut. La maison est superbe et très bien aménagée avec le charme d'une maison "habitée" dont les nombreuses photos familiales donnent une impression de vie et de séjour chez des amis, aux antipodes d'une ambiance impersonnelle. Les chambres sont vastes avec chacune une salle de bains attenante, la piscine est fantastique. L’environnement en pleine campagne est d’un calme olympien et reposant et la vue, qui est dégagée sur 360 degrés, est magnifique. De plus les voisins agriculteurs Jackie et Gilbert sont charmants et toujours disponibles. Isabelle et l'ensemble de sa famille

Grande maison au calme
Nous avons séjourné pendant 15 jours à 2 familles (chaque famille ayant 2 enfants) La maison est spacieuse, confortable, bien décorée et bien équipée. L’extérieur avec la piscine et le jardin sont très agréables. Nous étions dans un endroit reculé (ce que nous recherchions) et qui nous a beaucoup plu ! Nous avons pu découvrir Lautrec, Castres, Toulouse et Albi qui a été notre plus belle découverte ! Merci pour tout.
