About the home

Couyoula is situated at the end of its own lane in grounds of 4 acres that enjoy total privacy and uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. There is a stunning 12x5m heated pool with electric cover and underwater lighting.

There is also a floodlit boules pitch set in an ivy clad open barn. The house is centrally heated and offers luxury modern living whilst retaining the original character stone and oak beam features. The ground level is tiled in stone (with underfloor heating) and upper levels are finished in solid oak. All 4 bedrooms are large and spacious and all have full en suite facilities.

With a view to families sharing, the second double bedroom is of the same high quality as the master suite. The 30ft kitchen features a 12ft oak dining table and leads directly out onto a covered dining area. Conveniently situated only 10 minutes from the small bastide town of Caylus and an easy drive to the beautiful towns of St Antonin Noble Val, Najac, St Cirq Lapopie and Cordes Sur Ciel.

The Midi-Pyrenees / Tarn-et-Garonne region

The gentle, temperate climate of this corner of France generally ensures that spring and autumn are mild and sunny, with temperatures rising in the summer to 28 degrees Celcius or the low 30s. Nearby towns include Toulouse where you can enjoy some fantastic regional food and view the beautiful architecture.

The Saint Projet Village area

* Just 10 minutes away is the unspoilt and historical town of Caylus.

* Due south is Cordes Sur Ciel with amazing views over the surrounding countryside, narrow cobbled streets & plenty of quality restaurants to choose from.

* Albi is only an hours drive away, where you will find the Toulouse-Lautrec museum amongst other places of interest. There are also some excellent restaurants and shops.

* The Market at St Antonin Noble Val is one of the biggest in the region. Held every sunday under the 18th Century covered market hall.

* Bicycles can be hired locally. There is a company who will bring the bikes to the house for you at the start of your holiday.

Fly to Toulouse (1 hour 15 minutes drive to house) or Rodez (just under 1 hours drive to house).

The region is within a comfortable day's drive of the western Channel ports, and a 12 hour drive from Calais, although a leisurely drive through France, stopping overnight, appeals to many.

“A piece of heaven” This beautiful and comfortable villa offered us the most fantastic holiday. This was our second visit and the place had not lost its magic. The accommodation is luxurious, spacious and inviting - there is nothing you feel is missing. Couyoula is set in a rural area, and from the minute you arrive you feel you are on holiday. There are many interesting and historic places to visit within a short driving distance, which we did daily, and then to return to Couyoula to soak up the remaining sun, relax by the pool and enjoy a glass of the local wine. Most evenings we used the boules court, which is floodlit, thus enabling us to play into the evening. This villa and its location offers a sunning holiday which will long be remembered. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it, and I hope to make a return visit!!

Guestbook for Couyoula

"A great destination to relax and unwind. Typically French with a magnificent pool and above all else totally unspoilt and tranquil. The choice of barbeque, home cooking or eating out was great." The Whistead Family. May 2009.
"Couyoula is the most wonderful base for a relaxing holiday in the South West of France. The house itself has been beautifully and sympathetically restored, the grounds and setting are picturesque and tranquil, the pool area is simply gorgeous and the petanque court was the scene for many a floodlit skirmish!" Million Party, Melbourne, Australia. May 2009.
"The layout of the house is perfect for socialising together but also good for giving you space if you need it, if in a large party. Cannot say enough good things. Great house in a great setting." Olley & Hunter Families, Aug/Sept 2010.
"What a perfect spot. The pool is amazing & we felt at home here straight away. So many incredible views that you almost come to expect them at every corner." Jacobs & Snelgrove Families, May 2010.
