Au Bord de la Rivière, Charming gîte with private

Welcome to our tranquil gite that is part of an old Octroi (French official building constructed in 1830). It is located right on the Lot river, on a pedestrian walk that leads to the centre of a lively and charming town called St. Geniez d'Olt. This beautiful French village is alive with shops, concerts, restaurants and festivals throughout the spring and summer months. So many activities to partake in, from horse-back riding and canoeing, to aerial circus arts and riverside walks...concerts and night markets and so much more, all within walking distance. Fall and winter it still remains a beautiful and tranquil repose with restaurants and leisurely forest walks, and it is only 20 minutes to the ski station in Brameloup. As well, St. Geniez has a new pedestrian walkway which links it to the nearby village of St. Eulalie d'Olt (1km), officially labelled ''One of the most Beautiful Villages in France''. Visiting St. Eulalie d'Olt is like stepping back in time - to seep in the beauty and history of an ancient rural village in France. Art is important here, and there are many workshops and artisans to visit.

Enter Gite L'Octroi at the side of the main building, into the private garden, where you hear the tinkling sound of the stream gently rushing through the rocks, alongside the walled garden of the gite. Here, the vine covered terrace with flower garden greets you. Sliding glass doors reveal an open living room and superbly fitted kitchen. A charming woodburning stove is in the living room for romantic inspirations or warming chilly nights. A flat screen TV with internet access, wifi, and smartTV are at your use for contemporary entertainment. A stairway leads up to the cosy mezzanine bedroom.
The master bedroom is down the hall, with a voluptuous antique French double bed. It has whimsical, yet very practical mosquito curtains surrounding the bed. A large bathroom with walk in shower, sink, antique commode and washing machine serves the gite. There is a separate toliet room. The charming furnishings, a mix of contempory and antiques reflect a typical French country style.

The lovely, terrace outside has a table for al fresco dining. A bbq is at the ready for enjoying lovely French foods and in particular, the French Aubrac beef, well known throughout France. This is Aubrac country.

Quiet nights in the garden, or lively evenings in town, Gite L'Octroi hopes to offer a traquil and enjoyable vacation for all who come to stay...a home away from home. .

Our week by the river
This property was perfect for our needs and very much as described on the website. The kitchen was well equipped, the lounge and bedroom comfortable and the outside garden space a lovely place to relax. The town is very pretty with lovely riverside walks and opportunities for fishing. There were plenty of cafes, small shops and an excellent supermarket nearby. Living next door, the host was very helpful. The area itself was great for walking, picnics, fishing and we found different places to go each day. Walking by the river and finding places for our dog to swim was a particular treat as was the quality of local restaurants and the friendliness of people we met.

Hidden Gem
The property is located in a beautiful village and backs onto a walkway along a river which can take you into the town. The property is furnished to a high standard and has everything you need. You do have to advise if you want linen and towels. It's great if you have a dog as there is a small enclosed garden. There are deck chairs for sitting outside. The village is beautiful and there are places to eat and drink which are walkable. There is also a vet in the village. Our host Sarah was great and flexible with check-in and checkout times. Highly recommend.

Erwartungen voll erfüllt - Esperanzas 100 % cumplidos
Das Apartment ist ein idealer Ausganspunkt in St. Geniez, um den Aveyron zu erkunden. Die Ferienwohnung ist liebevoll gestaltet. Als passionierte Hobby-Köche haben wir nichts vermißt. Der grüne Aussenbereich ist ruhig und bewahrt genügend Intimität, obwohl das Grundstück im Dorf liegt. Kontakt zu Vermieterin und Vermieter sehr, sehr angenehm. Auch unserer großer französischer Schäferhund hat sich sehr wohlgefühlt. Sehr empfehlenswert. El apartamento es un lugar iedeal para descubrir el Aveyron desde St. Geniez. El interior estä equipado con mucho cariño. Como cocineros apasionados ne hemos echo de menos nada en la cocina. La zona verde exterior garantiza tranquiilidad y intimidad a pesar que está ubicado dentro del pueblo. El contacto con los duenos era muy, muy agradable. Incluso nuestro perro grande tipo pastor frances estaba muy contento. Más que recomendable..
