St Antonin Noble Val holiday house with private pool SW France

Les Rieux near St Antonin Noble Val
Four double sized bedrooms with heated swimming pool set in 2.5 acres of beautiful gardens

Les Rieux is located in the Aveyron Gorge region, mid-way between Cahors and Gaillac, two famous appellations where wine has been made since Roman times. It is ideally situated just 6 km from the centre of St Antonin Noble Val.

St Antonin Noble Val has patisseries, bars, restaurants and a number of other shops to enable you to purchase necessary goods for in-house catering. Within easy driving disctance there are a large number of restaurants to cater for all budgets.

A number of local villages and towns have interesting and colourful markets. Be sure not to miss the local market in St Antonin held on Sunday mornings.

This beautiful and as yet undiscovered area of south-west France is steeped in history and offers a quiet relaxing holiday for those interested in wonderful scenery, unspoilt French charm and excellent food and drink.

Peace and tranquility surround you, but for those more active, there are many sporting activities nearby including tennis, fishing, pot-holing, rock-climbing and horse riding. The area is ideal walking country, and rail trips can be taken to many destinations. Golf is available at Albi (a delightful 18 hole course, approximately 50 minutes by car), where there is also a water park for children. An afternoon's excursion by canoe through the Aveyron Gorge is also considered a 'must' by nearly all guests.

Within short driving distances there are a number of fascinating towns and villages including Albi, Cahors, Penne and Bruniquel, all of which are well worth a visit. As well as the nearby medieval villages and bastide towns, there are châteaux, abbeys, churches and magnificent natural sites of outstanding beauty; whether it be wooded valleys or the meandering Aveyron with its dramatic gorges.

About our property (sleeps 8)

Reached along a single track lane, the property sits within 3 acres of grounds bordered by pastureland and woodland and has a distinct lack of neighbours.

Recently renovated to a very high standard, the house retains many of its original features; oak beams, vaulted ceilings and exposed stonework. It is a large property, with accommodation comprising:

The kitchen, fully fitted in a modern style and equipped with a fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, gas hob and electric oven. There is a balcony facing south where you can take breakfast in the early morning sunshine.

Large drawing room with a dining table and soft furnishings, together with a TV, video and music centre. Should you decide to eat indoors for a change, this room is especially large and has many original features including oak beams, exposed stone evier and large open fireplace. A cot, high chair and stairgate are available.

Separate, comfortable room adjoining the lounge with sofa and chairs where you can take a breather from the rest of your group.

Downstairs cloakroom, opposite the lounge.

Four bedrooms, all located on the top floor and all with a vaulted ceiling, giving them real character. All are full size, two being furnished with twin beds and two with double beds. The principal, double bedroom is an interesting split-level room with exposed beams and a separate sitting area.

Two bathrooms are also on this floor, one with a bath/shower and the other with a separate shower and bath.

The most stunning feature of the property, and perhaps the most important for summer holidaymakers is the pool and surrounding gardens, which spread around the property on different levels.

The heated swimming pool is 11m x 5m with Roman steps at one end. There are relaxers, sunloungers and parasols, pool toys, paddling pool, garden games, boules and a barbecue.

There are many hidden corners with plenty of natural shade from numerous mature trees, so you will be spoilt for choice in finding a quiet, interesting hideaway. The adjoining countryside is also ideal for a stroll.

This unique holiday home, full of character and yet offering all modern comforts and amenities, will provide the base for a memorable holiday in this beautiful region of south west France.
