Photos and Description of the Aveyron vacation barn rental 3 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 6/8 and 2 bedrooms sleeps 4

We have two gites in a large, converted barn in the heart of the South Aveyron countryside. Situated in a hamlet just 2kms from the Tarn Valley village of Broquies, La Cardabelle is the ideal place to come & unwind from the daily grind, either to relax or enjoy an active family holiday. Views from the pool, garden & the terrace are breath taking with a horizon of up to 40kms across the Tarn Valley to the Lacaune Mountains. Both gites are spacious, light & comfortable. Many original features have been preserved in their renovation. There are all the comforts of home including fully equipped, modern kitchens and additional downstairs cloakrooms. There is a large garden planted with palm trees & large lawned area on which children can play. Each gite has its own terrace and there are two BB Q's in the garden. There is also a 5 x 10 swimming pool & Petain piste. The pool is easily viewed from both terraces. Wifi acess available in both gites.

We are situated just outside the village of Broquies which has all local amenities. Just below the village is the beautiful River Tarn where you can fish, canoe or simply sit. The larger town of St Affrique, (28kms) has more shops and 3 supermarkets as well as a wonderful produce market on a Saturday morning. The famous cheese producing town of Roquefort is just 40 minutes away where you can visit the caves. Not far from here is the lovely town of Millau and the famous Millau bridge and visitor centre. About an hour to the west is Albi with its famous cathedral. Rodez to the north also has a lovely cathedral and many shops. If you prefer smaller places of interest then there are many fortified villages and castles in the area as well as mile upon mile of spectacular scenery including the Tarn Valley and Lacs de Levazou right on the doorstep. Brousse le Chateau, a pretty spot beside the River Tarn complete with fortified chateau dating back to 9th-12th century is just 10kms away.

Further details for this vacation barn rental in Aveyron, France

Owners on site: We live in the house next door which is separated from the gites by a pretty internal courtyard. Don't be afraid! We are only there if you need us and are happy to help with any queries, requests and supply information about the area that will enhance the enjoyment of your holiday.

Activity notes: During the warmer months the lakes at only 10 and 25 minutes away have beaches and are suitable for swimming as well as facilitating water sports and boat hire. Fishing is also permitted on the lakes and the rivers after purchasing a very reasonable permit (we can advise on how to do this and where to fish). There are many cafes and bars open at the lakes making it an ideal place to spend the day with the family. Winter sports are available 2 hours away to the north of Rodez. We have gone for the day ourselves but as we rent for as little as a one night period during this season our gite may interest those who like to mix activities during their holiday. Perhaps a few days skiing and then a few walking in our local countryside which is very popular with ramblers. Or you may just want to enjoy the cosy fire and put your feet up.

Night life: Although ours is a rural location and you can spend tranquil evenings gazing at the stars from your terrace whilst sipping wine after dinner, you can also spend every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening at a village fete during the summer months. Every village has one, complete with meal (if you want to eat under the summer sky), entertainment/disco and fire works.

Other Activities: Go-karting, paint-balling,bird watching, canoeing, petanque

Breath taking scenery, excellent accommodation. A 'twitchers' paradise - just the place to relax, recharge and get away from the 'rat-race'. Sandra and Frank Phillips, Bristol, England.

Super accommodation. Wonderful scenery and views from the gite. So good to have owners on hand to advise and translate!! A very relaxing holiday; swimming pool was an added bonus. Carole and Jayne Smith, Gloucestershire, England.

Review Submitted: April 6, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008
my family and i rented both properties during the february bank holiday and i cannot recommend the properties or the owners highly enough. The gites are equipped with every amenity one could possibly want and are fantastically comfortable , trust me you will neer sleep better. The views and surrounding area are quite simply breathtaking with a wonderful pool area , you will never swim anywhere and have a backdrop the likes of the one you will have here . This is all topped off by the most wonderfully helpful owners we have ever encountered.Do not miis an opportunity to stay at these gites. we will see you all at xmas of not before.
