The petite paradise

The house is situated on the site of an old legume and salad farm and the hosts still cultivate all types of fruit and veg which is fascinating. They also have sheep and chickens on the property. The property is ideally located on the Tarn river just up stream from Albi old town which can be seen from the river deck. Only a ten minute walk into town. We loved our stay as we walked everywhere in Albi as well as exploring the perched villages and Riverside towns. Swimming was chilly in May. Try Trebas for a river swim or one of the lakes nearby. The hosts are lovely, very generous with their produce and local knowledge. He was born on the property and our house used to be his grandfather's. Such a lovely place to visit for site seeing and relaxing.

Comfortable, well equipped Gîte short walking distance from the centre of historic centre of Albi.

After bit of confusion with three houses with the same number in the street we finally arrived to the right house and were welcomed by pleasant and charming Madame Isabelle Couzi. She introduced the house to us and explained all about its appliances. The house was very well equipped with all we needed and very clean. Madame Couzi lent us the bedding and towels. We were not informed to bring our own, which would have been impossible from Australia. Madame Couzi was very helpful and explained to us local customs and what to see during the week we stayed. We have visited the hilltop historical villages and enjoyed local wine, bread and cheeses. However she couldn’t influence the cold weather of April! Thank you Madame Couzi!

A little slice of the country life

We really loved our time visiting Albi. Part of that is due to the beautiful city itself, and part is due to the tranquil taste of country life that Christian and Isabelle have managed to maintain at this property, virtually in the shadow of the cathedral. The hosts, who live in another house on the property, are very friendly and hospitable. We had only been in the house a few minutes when they knocked on the door with a basket of beautiful tomatoes (delicious!) and grapes from their garden. They also had us to dinner one evening, as well as for drinks on another evening when they had some English-speaking friends over. The house itself is comfortable and attractive. I will say that the kitchen furnishings were a little more basic than many we encounter, but there was a coffee maker and a toaster, so we were good! We really appreciated that they offered us a late checkout time. That allowed us to enjoy one more morning of coffee on the little dock and a relaxed breakfast that included the last of the tomatoes, before getting everything into the car and putting the house in order.

Délicieusement apprécié

Bonjour, Nous avons passé des vacances fantastiques ! Nous pêchions beaucoup et pêchions beaucoup. Ce qui ressortait, c'était la diversité des types de poissons. Attrapé à la fois du poisson-chat et de la carpe et les enfants pêchés principalement avec la perche, la tanche, le barbeau, le gigbel, le gros gardon et la petite carpe. Il y avait un grand potager, nous avons donc reçu plusieurs fois des légumes frais des propriétaires. Nous en avons fait de délicieux repas. Albi est une ville belle et propre et nous l'avons visitée plusieurs fois. La cathédrale est fortement recommandée et doit être vue. Dans l'ensemble, nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances! Cordialement, Wesley, Marieke. Levi en Lynn
