With far reaching views of the Tarn-et-Garonne countryside, La Maison d’Olmières offers space and character in this delightfully restored home designed for easy living in southwest France, a short drive from Lauzerte, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’.

Inside, the house combines charm with comfort. The pretty kitchen is fully equipped with a gas range oven, dishwasher and breakfast table, opening directly to the garden for warm summer days. A separate dining room with original stonework and exposed beams sets the scene for relaxed evening meals, while the TV room with UK channels and Wi-Fi offers a cosy retreat. A delightful living room with a wood burning stove provides ample room and atmosphere throughout the year.

Four ensuite bedrooms ensure flexibility for families and friends. In the main house, a four poster double room and a second double each enjoy private facilities, while a charming en suite children’s room with low beams sits at the top of a spiral staircase . Across the courtyard, a fourth double bedroom with its own bathroom offers welcome independence.

Outside, a shaded dining terrace with barbecue is a wonderful spot for long al-fresco meals, not far from the private heated pool, measuring 10m by 5m with full width steps and a generous sun terrace. Families will love the table tennis for a spot of lively competition.

The house lies midway between Montaigu de Quercy and Lauzerte, both just ten minutes away by car. Here you will find bakeries, supermarkets, café bars and restaurants, while Montcuq’s popular Sunday market is 15km from the door. Larger towns such as Villeneuve-sur-Lot and Agen offer further shops and character whilst Cahors, around an hour away, tempts with its world-famous Malbec vineyards and a celebrated weekly market brimming with regional produce.

• La Maison d’Olmières sleeps up to 8 guests across four bedrooms, including one best suited to children (ideally age 7-15) and another one accessed externally from across the courtyard – please see the “Layout” tab for details.
• Even though there are two bedrooms on the ground floor, guests will need to be able to manage steps across the house and its sloping grounds.
