The bedrooms are colourful and inviting, with comfortable beds, new bedlinen and paintings by local artists. All the bed linen are towels are provided, as is the free Wi-Fi. You can eat outdoors in summer in the courtyard immediately in front of the house, while the large garden has several other terraces where you can enjoy an evening aperitif while gazing across the countryside to the Viaur gorges.

The spacious living room has several sofas, a large farmhouse table seating up to 8 people, and a television and DVD player. The wood-burning stove brings the warmth and magic of fire in winter and to the cooler evenings in spring and autumn.
