Le Farat - Self-catering in Tarn-et-Garonne
Le Farat, 82340 Auvillar, Tarn-et-Garonne
Midi - Pyrénées,
Francia
The approach is down a long gravelled drive with swathes of lawn on either side; mature trees and an orchard lead to a deep lake in which you can fish. You have a choice of two lovely places to stay: a charming rescued pigeonnier, bright and airy with a beamed ceiling and a lovely terrace for late sunshine and dreamy views. Or a separate house on the other side of the main one with a private terrace, barbecue and table seating with views over parkland and small lake. Both feel private and unoverlooked, have large well-equipped kitchens, plenty of comfy seating and shady spots for deckchair snoozing. There's a super shared pool with lake views and a games room for all. Easy to stay put but there's much to see and do in this unspoilt part of the country, one hour south of the Dordogne. Five minutes away, Auvillar, one of 'les plus beaux villages de France,' still has its circular, covered market.
