The house is a fully modernised 18th century stone house, the living accommodation is on the first floor which is approached by a stone stairway typical of Quercy farmhouses. There is a large garden bordered by the small trout River Seye and an ample driveway for parking several cars etc..
The hamlet of Ginals is only 2km from Verfeil in the Seye Valley, one of the valleys of the Midi Pyrenees. This beautiful area lies to the south of the Lot Valley. The whole region is unspoilt and full of charm . It abounds in fascinating medieval "Bastide "towns and villages such as St Antonin Noble Val, Cordes , Najac, and Albi with its fortified cathedral and Toulouse Lautrec Museum. Nearby is the breathtaking beauty of the Aveyron Gorge and further afield the spectacular Gorges du Tarn. The ancient Abbaye de Beaulieu is on the "doorstep" and there is a Knights Templars castle among others to visit within the locality.

Guestbook
We enjoyed living in the house and found it well equipped.. had a wonderful view of a kingfisher and also a deer.
.. your lovely house in Ginals, we did enjoy the holiday we had everything that we needed and more. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your house
We have just returned from an extremely enjoyable stay at your house -even better than our previous two visits.
... to say how much my family and I enjoyed staying in your home. We really enjoyed the area and the cool, relaxing environment the house provides.
We greatly enjoyed our stay, not just the walks and the local towns and villages but also the surprisingly varied wildlife that passed through the garden .. to hear and see the deer was exciting.
