About the home
Park your car right outside the front door and walk straight into the living area, which is heated in winter by a powerful Jotul wood-burning stove and electric radiators. The room has a sofa, TV/video and a dining table, bench and chairs. The fully-equipped corner kitchen has a dishwasher, microwave, fridge/freezer, gas hob and electric oven with rotisserie as well as plenty of worktop space for food preparation .
Upstairs, the bedroom has a luxurious king-size double bed and built-in oak wardrobe under the eaves with ample hanging and shelving space. The ensuite shower room has WC, wash basin and a large thermostatic shower. There is space in the bedroom for a cot or a small folding bed for a child (both can be provided; please ask).
La Petite Maison's terrace is on the south-east side of the house, while the garden is on the west side. So choosing sun or shade for breakfast, midday and evening meals is always possible! An outside dining table, chairs, sun parasol and barbeque are provided. A path leads from the terrace, through the well-stocked garden towards the pool.

Further details indoors:
La Petite Maison combines exceptional modern comforts with traditional features. The owners have gone to great lengths to maintain the character of this Quercynois farmbuilding and because they live on-site there is always someone to help, advise or even fix something in the unlikely event of something going wrong. But it's also about privacy and leaving guests to enjoy their holiday at their own time and pace.
Further details outdoors:
Quite apart from its tranquil, beautiful setting, La Petite Maison has both a private terrace and garden and is close to the 12 x 6 metre swimming pool. There's lots of space for recreation and paths and lanes lead off in all directions: just waiting to be explored on foot or by bicycle (available on request).
Further details
We normally rent by the week in the more popular months but because as owners we live on-site, year round we can always accept more unusual rental demands. We ask for one-third of the rental up-front at the time of booking and the balance two months before your stay. A caution or security deposit of 150€ is requested on your arrival and all being well this is reimbursed at the end your stay. In winter months we ask for a contribution towards heating costs.
The Midi-Pyrenees / Aveyron region


The 'département' of Aveyron is one of the hidden gems of France and forms part of the region of Midi-Pyrénées that stretches from the river Lot down to the Pyrénées mountains that border Spain.
Massar is in the far west of the Aveyron, just on the edge of the Quercy national park, a limestone plateau or ‘causse’ which is a paradise for lovers of the tranquil outdoors. Walking, cycling, river watersports as well as tennis and swimming are all popular. Eating, in or out, is a notable pastime - even by French standards - as the region is the agricultural heartland of France. And restaurants are amazingly good value thanks to menus of the day and gratuities being included by law. Even seafood is a joy thanks to the famous French enthusiasm for fresh fish. The Office de Tourism locally at nearby Villefranche de Rouergue is a mine of information and language is no problem.
The Villefranche de Rouergue / Martiel area
Massar is less than 2km from Martiel, a large village that boasts an artisanal bakery, grocer's shop and post office, so it's easily walkable. It is10 minutes by car from Villefranche de Rouergue.

We recommend either bringing or hiring a car although there is a railway station at Villefranche de Rouergue 10km away serving Toulouse and the Paris line from Figeac.
