Mas De Beauce

A relatively new addition to France, the Midi-Pyrénées was created to surround the cultural capital of Toulouse in the late 1970s. You might think that its relative youth would mean the Midi-Pyrénées is short on character or identity, but remember, this is France we’re talking about – the whole country is steeped in history and tradition. Encompassing parts of Gascony, Languedoc, the Gers and several others, you’ll get a varied slice of the whole French experience here, not least if you stay at one of our beautiful chateaux in the Midi-Pyrénées! And if you want to discover the best of what the region has to offer, our Midi-Pyrénées travel guide is here to show you where to go, what to eat and how you can make the best of your break with some amazing activities.

Enjoy gourmet dining experiences with our new Chef Service!
We’re now offering our customers the chance to enjoy some unforgettable eats with our new Chef Service! Choose from booking a single sumptuous meal with a private chef for that special occasion, or hire a chef to cook your meals for all or part of your holiday - it’s as flexible as it is delicious.

A) Single Meal Service: A chef will travel to this villa and whip up a fantastic meal for you and your guests. The chef will arrive with all the necessary ingredients as well as the talent to turn them into something unforgettable. They’ll serve the meal and clear up afterwards - an easy and entertaining way to enjoy a top quality meal in your very own villa!

B) Full Chef Service: If you really want to kick back and relax, we can arrange for a chef to cater for the duration of your holiday (or part of it). With a range of options from simple family catering to full-on haute cuisine, we can organise a meal plan and a price to suit your needs. So why worry about self-catering when you can have everything taken care of?

Of course, before booking this service, we suggest you contact the property owner as they might already offer a similar cook or chef service in-house. To find out more simply visit www.oliverstravels.com/chefs.

This traditional styled French rural farmhouse is an ideal venue for any small celebration, wedding or event. The rolling hills surrounding the villa provide the perfect setting for a panoramic view of the sunset and endless skies for evening stargazing.

The Mas can host an indoor reception for 30 guests, whilst the gardens can easily host up to 100 guests for an al fresco event on the terraces. A caterer and party planner can be arranged to assist in creating the perfect occasion that you and all your guests will remember. There is also a small chapel on site to host a more traditional ceremony.

There is also additional accommodation in the neighbouring villages.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information about rates and availability. The property is available for events during the warmer seasons (Spring, Summer & Autumn) only.

Mas De Beauce Reviews

• This House is Incredible!

  Posted by Nick on 29/08/2017

  The house was amazing, loaded with history and atmosphere, beautifully positioned with near 360 degree panorama and benefitted in our view from being next to a working dairy farm. Our daughter (particularly) made friends with the farmer's wife and they didn't mind us mucking around with their dogs and cats and calves. (She loved the donkeys in the surrounding field too).The house and incredible array of outbuildings, orchards and terraces is generally better outside than in as downstairs inside is very dark, better for evenings and winter time I imagine. The pool was a real plus in a hot week and has stunning views. This is a very relaxing place to be, quirky and interesting with more than enough places to explore within 30-45 minutes drive. We’d happily go again.

• Family tranquility

  Loved feeding the donkeys and listening to them braying. Family boules matches and barbecues on the terrace, watching the stars and the putting the world to rights. Watching the swallows skim the water, the quiet, the tranquility, the beautiful surroundings.

• Most memorable holiday

  Posted by Sarah on 01/09/2016

  We arrived Saturday afternoon - the latest stop on our ventures through France. We already had immeasurable memories but then we came to Mas de Beauce and had two of the most memorable weeks ever. We had the warmest of welcomes from John and Jilly who showed us around the house and garden and since then the house held us in its spell. The laughter and sounds of happy children have filled the rooms and their swimming improved beyond measure. Coming back after days out felt like coming home! A cool retreat from a blazing hot sun, we had just one grey day. We enjoyed the still and the quiet, a must amidst the humdrum of working lives. We sat, we talked, we cooked, we dined and reminisced.

  I am sure we all left this special place with our own individual memories. It is intriguing, fascinating and envelops you in its past - we would love to return.

• Amazing house, wonderful area

  Posted by Toby and Jenny on 30/07/2016

  A magical week with great company and two excited children. We gorged ourselves on blackberries, apples, damsons and stewed pears from the garden... and some failed elderberry jam! (which ended up as cordial).

  We enjoyed the huge sky and the wildlife, the grass snake in the greenhouse is over 1m long! We saw hedgehogs, humming birds and a bat in the living room.

  Ollie (7) bonded with Rabanne the donkey and wanted to take him home, not sure the promise of a stick insect was enough to console him.

  Amazing house, wonderful area...we all absolutely loved it!.

• Honoured Guests

  We have dined like Kings and felt privileged to be part of the Mas de Beauce, Thank You.

How long have you owned the property?
Since  2006

What was it about the property that you first fell in love with?
It’s a very old building from the 14th century, and has been left almost intact (apart from installing modern plumbing, electricity, a proper kitchen etc.). The views are spectacular, it’s very quiet and rural and there are lovely villages all around. And it’s a lesser-known corner of France.

Are there any interesting stories in its history?
In the tower, there are many ancient papers and documents pertaining to the history of the building and above the fireplace is an ancient, sculpted coat of arms which belonged to the family that first built it.

For anyone coming to stay is there anything they should really do?
There are numerous places to walk or cycle through quiet country lanes and wild, unspoilt countryside. You can water-ski on the Lot river at Cajarc or hire canoe/kayaks at bases on either the Lot or the beautiful Célé river and find places to swim and picnic. For those who like to fish, there is a small lake within a short drive and lots of other places on both rivers.
