A quiet, comfortable gite with welcoming hosts

This unique gite has been renovated into a modern, well appointed, comfortable self catering studio for two guests. The owners are very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The gite is on a treed hillside overlooking a small village with shopping 15-20 minutes away. Central to many lovely villages and walks/hikes in the Tarn region. Just one hour from Albi and Carcassone.

Pretty and atmospheric

We loved our stay at Claire and Ian's pretty gite. Quaint and cosy, it was very well fitted out with everything we needed. And the location is an excellent centre from which to visit so many of the lovely towns and villages in the Languedoc area. Claire and Ian were great hosts, on hand to help out with local information, not to mention providing us with wine and cake!

A lovely little bolt hole for two

We loved this gite. It was just right for two. Every aspect was of the highest quality, like an extremely comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen, modern shower room etc. There is plenty of interest in the surrounding area and good shops and all necessities within about 20 minutes drive. We thoroughly enjoyed our week.

Lovely clean, modern apartment, attentive but unobtrusive hosts.

We had a wonderful week in Boissezon, a small village but less than 15 mins to full facilities in Castres. We explored many of the nearby towns, highlights including Hautpoul, Lautrec and Castres itself. We might have gone to many more, but a week wasn't long enough. Claire and Ian were perfect hosts, very friendly and affable, always available to answer our questions and provide anything we needed, but other than they left us to ourselves. We would love to come back and explore more of the region one year (we are from NZ, so a long way to go). Highly recommended.

Lovely Gite for those looking to get away from it all.

Had a great stay at this Gite. Perfect as a base for cycling, walking or just enjoying nature. The owners really looked after us in an unobtrusive way. Located in a very rural area but just a short drive from everything you need in nearby Castres. No hesitation in recommending this property.

Gite très agréable et conforme aux photos

Très bon séjour dans ce gîte très bien aménagé pour 2 personnes. Le calme est au rendez-vous et les balades nature ne manquent pas. Idéal pour des vacances au vert. Voiture utile car très peu de commerces sur place. Des hôtes anglais jeunes et discrets bien que parents de 2 bambins et qui parlent et comprennent tout à fait le français. Nous recommandons ce gîte.

gite parfait !

Nous avons été accueilli chez Ian et Claire avec tout le charme et l'hospitalité à l'Anglaise. Le gite est superbe, aménagé avec goût et finesse. Un cocon dans un écrin de verdure, calme et reposant. La région est magnifique et se prête à des superbes ballades. Nous recommandons ce gite avec ferveur. Juste une toute petite remarque, les chaises de la terrasse ne sont pas très confortables, mais c'est un tout petit point de détail insignifiant. Nous reviendrons sans hésitation !!!

LOVELY HOUSE AND GREAT HOSPITALITY

When we arrived, we understood very quickly why Claire and Yan are on the Saint Jacques de Compostelle path! They have a very strong and perfect sense of the hospitality and have a total dedication to their host. Their well-designed and clean house is a lovely place to stay when you want to discover this nice region.

Comfortable Gite

Situated in the Tarn Region in a lovely village named Boissezon, close to the town of Castres. The Gite is very comfortable and the accommodation is all on one floor (no stairs). Claire and Ian are a very welcoming couple with a beautiful young son named Remy. Lots of intereting places to vist around the area, plus not that far from Carcassone.

Lovely Holiday

A little difficult to find first time. A super little place, ideal for two who want to do their own thing. Spotlessly clean and well maintained. You will be made to feel most welcome and will be spoiled by the cakes provided and cooked by the owners. I would recommend it to anybody looking for a base for touring the region. A car is essential.

About the host

Hosted by Claire Winterton

Host profile image
We're Ian and Claire. We moved to France in 2007 because we wanted an adventure and could speak a little bit of French from school. We were lucky enough to find a job in Castres, so rented an apartment there for a few years. In 2010 we bought our house in Boissezon. We fell in love with the village and the friendly locals have welcomed us into village life. We spent a few years renovating the house, and also the gite next door, which we are told was originally a wine and wood shop for the village.

Why they chose this property

When we started house-hunting we were looking for a charming French village that we could be a part of. We wanted to be fairly remote but with facilities not too far away. We knew this house was the one for us straight-away as it was in a perfect spot tucked away on its own up a track away from the village.

We love living away from the crowds and surrounded by trees, but the supermarket and market town of Castres are only 15 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

The gite's location on a famous walking route makes it ideal for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.
