About this property

Cottage Fournil Fabre Vieux for 4 people

The Fabre Vieux mansion, which dates from 1642, is located on the limestone plateaus of Quercy Blanc, south of the medieval town of Cahors.

The owner Maria Van Bakelen has restored the buildings in the respect of the original architecture, between 1990 and 2005 (stone walls, mortise and tenon joinery, large chimneys and round tower with a height of ten meters).
The restoration has come to an end after these years of work.

The buildings consist of two adjoining houses: the HOUSE TOWER (private) and the STAIR HOUSE (rented for 5 to 6 pp); a large barn including the theater workshop and two housing units: the cottage LAVENDER (3 to 4 pp) and the cottage OLEANDER (3 pp) with a large covered terrace.

In 2011 a new cottage is built 30 m away from the Chateau, the FOURNIL, with a traditional oven and an independent garden (rent for 4 pp).

Description of the FOURNIL:
indoor:
In the dining room, the large dinne window offers a beautiful panorama of the hills.
The combination of a traditional bread oven with modern architecture gives a pleasant atmosphere.
On the ground floor there is the living room with sitting area, the open kitchen and a dining area; the bathroom (toilet, shower, sink) and 2 bedrooms: 1 with a double bed and 1 with 2 single beds.
Outside:
On the south-west and west side there is a terrace with 4 garden chairs.

The grounds around the manor house spread over a gently sloping four-hectare hill, from where the view is splendid.

The mansion has a 10 x 5 m pool for landlords.

In touch with nature

We had a calm and soothing stay in this little house where you are always in touch with the wild surroundings of the Quercy.

Environnement calme

Le gîte est situé en pleine nature, le calme et la sérénité sont assurés. Nous avons pu voir des chevreuils de la terrasse. La piscine a été agréable malgré la présence de nombreuses guêpes 🐝 mais elles n’étaient pas agressives. Wilbert et Maria sont des hôtes très discrets et la présence des autres locataires n’a pas été dérangeante, car ils étaient discrets également. Si vous recherchez un gîte au calme : foncez ! Nous reviendrons à l’occasion… Chrystelle

gite plutôt satisfaisant

Propriétaires très accueillants et gite bien aménagé. Les points faibles : pour les "grosses commissions", on ne peut pas jeter le papier toilette dans la cuvette des toilettes, mais dans une poubelle de salle de bains. La piscine n'est pas attenante au logis mais il faut marcher 5 minutes pour y accéder. La machine à laver est accessible uniquement dans l'habitation des bailleurs et nécéssite donc leur autorisation et leur présence à leur domicile. Il y avait des odeurs de gaz dans la chambre parentale. Le caillebotis qui enclercle le terrain est en très mauvais état et fait craindre de s'enfoncer à certains endroits. Le terrain sur lequel est situé le gîte est mal entretenu car il y a des hautes herbes ainsi que l'accès qui mène à la piscine, pouvant favoriser l'accélération d'un incendie en cas de départ de feu de broussailles.

Très reposant

Excellent acceuil, location correspondant à la description, très calme. Seul petit bémol, la piscine était trop froide, 17 ° à notre arrivée, 21 à notre départ.

Great place in a very peaceful setting

This is a nice property. It’s accessed up a dirt/ farmers track. The property enjoys a good amount of privacy from the main house where the owners live. There is a very short walk to the swimming pool which is a good size and was kept clean the whole time we were there. The property is well equipped, but would benefit from having its own washing machine (the owners say you can use theirs but that felt a bit awkward), an oven and perhaps a TV/DVD player. However it is very peaceful and quiet and in a good location to explore the local area. Overall we’ve had a great holiday here!

Repos et calme

Merci à toute la famille pour son accueil et sa gentillesse. Nous avons été très bien reçu. Le gîte est au calme mais un peu éloigné pour faire des activités avec des ados. Pour améliorer le gîte je pense qu il serait bien de rajouter des portemanteaux pour accrocher les vêtements dans les chambres, mettre un verrou sur la porte de la sdb et le luxe serait d avoir accès à une machine à laver pour ne pas déranger et pourquoi pas avoir une télé, car le soir il n y a rien à voir ou à faire dans les environs. Très beau cadre. Merci pour tout.

relaxe vakantie in de natuur

Alweer de tweede zomer die wij in het bakhuis op Fabre Vieux hebben mogen doorbrengen. Een modern ingericht ruim appartement in een authentieke landelijke omgeving. En wat een prachtig zwembad? De pool area wordt goed onderhouden; een mooie plek om te zwemmen, te relaxen en om te genieten van de zonsondergang. This year we have spent the summer for the second time in the gite 'Fournil' à Fabre Vieux. A spacious house with modern furniture in an authentic rural landscape. And a lovely swimming pool! The pool-area is a nice place to swim, relax and to enjoy beautiful sunsets.
