Cottage near Albi & Toulouse, South of France
" A hidden retreat amid rolling hills"
Perfect for couples - a spacious cottage for 2 in the Tarn countryside near the beautiful city of Albi, South West France
For a cycling holiday the surrounding area offers routes that meander up, down and around some of the most delightful countryside to be found anywhere in France
Set high above a wide valley in rolling countryside the gite has panoramic views over an idyllic French pastoral landscape of farms, vineyards and villages - a wonderful location from which to enjoy the best that South West France has to offer.
Forming part of what used to be a farm, the cottage has its own private entrance from the road, parking area, and fenced garden with sweeping views to the South and West across the valley
Double doors from the garden open to the large living room with dining area, and a convivial 'American' style open plan kitchen. Apart from 3 steps up to the bedroom, the accommodation - kitchen, living/dining room, shower room & wc - is all on one level
In the country but only 10 minutes by car from the beautiful city of Albi, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Local shops and restaurants can be found within a 5 minute drive, and Toulouse is easily accessible by motorway or train in under an hour.
