From hand-painted tiles in the bathrooms to evening meals on the terrace, this is a much-praised paradise with both character and finesse

Read guest comments

Come to the Pays de Cocagne, the brochure says. Where is that, you ask? It is an imaginary land of pleasure in the once prosperous pastel-producing Tarn. Philippe and Andonis gave up good jobs in Paris to buy this 18th-century presbytery after falling in love with the region. Perched in mouthwatering gardens on the side of a hill, the multi-level mellow stone edifice looks – and is – utterly inviting. All the rooms, including the two-floor suite by the saltwater pool, exude character and finesse. All are different, with original terracotta floors, hand-finished plaster, exposed beams, a Chinese vase here, an antique bed there. It is worth staying just for the bathrooms, lovely with hand-painted tiles. Evening meals, on the terrace in summer, are a delight for eye and palate: something different each day, fresh from the market, beautifully balanced by wines from the region. Guests are full of praise, for the food and the gardens, the pool and waterfall, the blissful views, the wonderful hosts. We cannot fault it.

"We had a very memorable 3 nights at Cuq last week (mid October). The place was completely charming and Philippe and Adonis superb hosts with so much attention to detail and delicious home made foods. On our last night the full house - including a birthday dinner party for 10 - rocked with a singalong on the pianola with Adonis."

"A veritable jewel in South West France, Cuq en Terrasses has so much to offer. It's peaceful location on a hill top commands stunning views across farmland. It offers the opportunity of excursions into medieval villages and countryside most of it not at all touristy. During our 10 night stay we were welcomed warmly into Phillipe's and Andonis' domain who were keen to delight and entertain. The staff were equaly welcoming as was Noemi the dog and Duchesse the cat. Wonderful food, well stocked wine cellar, lovely breakfast and countryside charm. It is well worth seeking out the local wine growers to bring back some wine to remind you of your stay at Cuq en Terrasses."
