Mas De La Griotte
About This Villa
Stay in the bucolic surroundings of the Tarn countryside, in the ‘golden triangle’ of Gaillac, Cordes-sur-Ciel and Albi, and experience the authenticity of this stylish French farmhouse with such beautiful gardens and a swimming pool.
The rustic interiors are perfect for a holiday with family or friends with space for up to 22 guests across the ten pretty bedrooms. The soul of the home has to be the welcoming kitchen-diner, brilliantly equipped for creating feasts to be enjoyed around one of the vintage dining tables and wood-burning fire or outside alongside the summer scent of lavender, accompanied by good wine from a historic Gaillac vineyard nearby. Don’t forget to see what may be growing in the organic vegetable garden too!
The living spaces are just as charming with comfortable sofas, antique furnishings and a fantastic TV snug next to the winery, even featuring the farm’s old wine vats. Yet in the warmer months it is all about the outdoors with the salt-water swimming pool, plenty of space for lounging on sun-beds or in a hammock, the delightful summer kitchen and al-fresco terraces. All surrounded by picturesque views of the gorgeous Tarn countryside.
Book yourself into the award-winning French restaurant in the small local village just 2km away or find one of the many fine places to eat in nearby Gaillac, Cordes-sur-Ciel and Albi, also known as the ‘Golden Triangle of Tarn’.
Discover wonderful walking and cycling trails, canoe or kayak along the Tarn near Albi or through the Ayeron gorges at idyllic Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val or drive to some of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ such as Castelnau-de-Montmiral, Puycelci and Bruniquel.
Visit historic wineries, peruse local farmer’s markets and soak up the relaxing and slow-paced ambience of ‘little Tuscany’ in this glorious part of southern France.
