About this property

A stunning French farmhouse retreat in the heart of Averyon.

La Peyriere is one of the most beautiful examples of a French farmhouse you could possibly find, located right in the heart of Aveyron, South-West France. Situated in the hills near the town of La Fouillade, and just 30 minutes from France's favourite village 2014 and 2015, Cordes sur Ciel and St Antonin Noble Val. It provides the perfect escape from everyday life, yet it's within 60 minutes drive of 8 'Beaux Villages de France'.

A very typical example of local architecture with a beautiful 'fish scale' slate tile roof. Renovated to a very high standard and impeccably maintained ever since. The sunset over the pool and kitchen is to die for!

The property benefits from a beautiful outdoor area, with terrace overlooking the heated swimming pool and BBQ (the pool is open May - October) and wrapped around with a 4 acre field to provide you with as much privacy as you could wish for.

Nestled in the hills 5 minutes from Lunac, a village with Boulangarie, and 10 minutes from La Fouillade, which has a major supermarket. We're incredibly lucky to be just 15 minutes away from the enchanting 'Beaux' village of Najac.

Slightly further afield we are 30 minutes drive away form 3 stunning towns... Saint Antonin Noble Val, with a stunning Sunday market and voted the most beautiful town in France in 2015. Then to the South East, Cordes sur Ciel, a hilltop town with lovely restaurants and shops, voted the most beautiful town in France a few year earlier!

To the North is Villefranche de Rouergue, another stunning town with a cracking Thursday market. Please visit the website for more information on the house and what to do nearby.

Superbe maison en Aveyron

Très belle maison au calme tout en étant proche des beaux villages d'Aveyron. La maison est très bien équipée et parfaite pour un séjour en famille ou amis (piscine, billard, table de ping pong, deux grands salons....). La communication avec Chris est très simple et il répond toujours rapidement et avec attention aux questions que l'on peut se poser. Bref, location à recommander !!!

Lovely stay this Autumn, great weather, sunny and warm in the day but cool enough for the wood burner at night. The house is really cosy and warm and we had some lovely days out to Cordes, Najac and Villefranche. Already booked again for next year!

Lovely French Farmhouse

We very much enjoyed staying at La Peyriere as we explored the many beaux villages in the surrounding area. Chris provided all the needed information on website and with guide and brochures provided at the house. Large well equipped farmhouse kitchen. We only used for making coffee and eating pastries each morning because we were on the road much of the time. We did love having the large kitchen table for spreading out maps and brochures as we planned the next day itinerary. Great shower on lower level and bathtub on upper floor. Wi-Fi was spotty but we were told that in advance given rural location. Amazing patisserie in La Fouillade and a great little pizza place across the street.

Wonderful home and stunning region

We had a wonderful time at La Peyriere, what a find! We spent many relaxing days by the pool and also enjoyed the produce in local markets. There was plenty to do nearby, a much needed (refreshing) visit to the local river, beaux village including Najac and St Cirq Lapopie and don't miss the market at St Antonin!

Perfect Autumn escape!

This was return trip to La Peyriere and we had a wonderful time. It was a lovely time to come out of peak season for walks and touring the local 'beaux villages', the colour of the leaves and the weather made for perfect walking and lovely evenings by the wood burning stove. The markets of Villefranche and St Antonin were real highlights, great produce, especially the cepes! On our last day we also got to see the famous chestnut festival in Laguepie, what a wonderful day, great weather and amazing food, drink and atmosphere. The house itself is very authentic Aveyron, lovely open plan living area by the fire and a separate TV room for the kids, even the the heated pool was open which was a lovely way to start the day! A big thank you to the hosts who were very kind and provided plenty of tips of where to go and where to source the best food and wine.

Très agréable séjour dans la campagne aveyronaise

Gite dans une maison aveyronnaise rénovée avec gout. Nous avons en particulier beaucoup apprécié le séjour, ainsi que le calme du gite, isolé dans la campagne aveyronaise, Nous avons séjourné dans le gite en plein hiver - le poêle a bois a rendu le séjour très agréable. Très bon accueil de Chris, le propriétaire, et de Pierre, sur place.

A fantastic stay in an idyllic part of France

From the pre-arrangements to the checkin process with Pierre (who is such a great host) we were made to feel so welcome. The house is so beautiful, incredibly traditional but with tasteful additions all over the house. The pool is great, cleaned everyday and everything you need is there so it made our stay incredibly relaxing. There are so many nice places to visit within an hour of the property, but if you also want to stay at the house, eat food from the local markets, relax by the pool and bbq at night that’s equally as good. We really cannot recommend the property and hosts and we definitely intend to go back.

Haven of tranquility

Beautiful space with loads of room and a wonderful setting. The house was cosy, in a slight valley surrounded by lovely countryside. The downstairs space is open plan with a wonderful fire that kept the house warm 24/7. Quiet in a rich rural setting it is the perfect getaway for some proposer down time. For the adventurous there are bike rides, horse riding and plenty of good runs .

Perfect sejour in the Aveyron countryside

Another visit to La Peyriere, Chris kindly provided access to the house for a long weekend. We were very lucky with the weather and had a marvellous 3 days of sunshine, we bathed in sun for lunch at St Antonin market and had some lovely walks in Bor et Bar. We would recommend taking a trip here outside of peak season, long evenings by the wood burner were so relaxing!

Winter holiday at La Peyriere

We (two families of 4, with children aged between 8 and 12) had a great Christmas holiday at La Peyriere. It’s a very comfortable farmhouse, with bedrooms upstairs and downstairs and a warm, inviting kitchen and living room in between. The house is old, with charm and quirks, but all the modern appliances and very well-equipped. The location was quiet and beautiful, with good walks and tres beaux villages nearby (Najac was a particular highlight). Finally, Chris the owner and Pierre and Huguette, the nearby farmers were excellent to deal with, charming, helpful and unobtrusive. Thoroughly recommended!

Perfect antidote to city life

We came to stay with friends of ours to escape city life back in the uk, it turned out to be exactly what we needed. The owners have done a brilliant job creating a sanctuary from which to enjoy the amazing food and wine. The house is great for two families, split into two floors, with lots of social space for games, swimming, TV or lounging in front of the fire. We will be back for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Kim and I both live and work in London with our daughter Lilly. My family are half French and I grew up so close to French culture it was always a dream to some day buy in France, thankfully Kim didn't need much persuading!

We've been renting our London home on airbnb for some time so we're used to catering for guests and have really enjoyed introducing each of our guests to a new area, there's much more to explore now in the Aveyron!

Why they chose this property

The photos hopefully speak for themselves, but seeing the house in person took our breath away. it ticks every box, we wanted seclusion but also access to beautiful towns such as Cordes, St Antonin, Najac, Albi... the list goes on!

Pierre and Huguette also played a large part, they are almost like family and Pierre has known the house his whole life, he has some amazing stories to tell about its history.

What makes this property unique

If you want action, adventure, tranquility, nature, great food, great wine, great markets, culture, it's all there.

Not only that, the house is quite stunning, inside and out. Having had many holidays in Chambre D'Hotes across Provence and Le Lot we've tried to bring each bit we loved to La Peyriere.
