About this property

Beautiful barn, south-facing view, exclusive pool, near Saint Antonin Noble Val

La Grange is a stylish, bright and characterful self-catering holiday home perfectly located for exploring by car, on foot or bike, three beautiful regions of southern France: the Tarn, the Tarn et Garonne and the Aveyron.
 
Set in a tranquil location outside a rural Occitan village, our accommodation is a modern barn renovation which can accommodate up to eight people in two double bedrooms and two super-king bedrooms (or two double and two twin rooms). Each has an en-suite walk-in shower, sink and toilet. The barn is arranged all on one level.

There is a large open plan kitchen with range oven, farmhouse sink, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. In the same open plan area is a large dining and living space with wood burner for winter nights and a large window and beautiful south-facing views. A television with UK satellite channels is available as is a Blueray DVD and media Player along with plenty of DVDs. Underneath the barn is a storage area for guests' cases, bikes etc as well as a washing machine.

Outside the main entrance is a large, oak sun deck with outdoor table and chairs for dining al fresco with views of the surrounding countryside. The deck overlooks the enclosed, exclusive use swimming pool area which has pool loungers and a pool robot to keep the pool free from leaves. There are also large grassed garden areas to enjoy, a small woodland with plenty of wildlife (deer, red squirrels and birds) and ancient bridle paths to explore. Please note the pool is closed for winter from October to May.
 
Our nearest village of Espinas is peaceful and quiet and a lovely place to stroll around, but there are no shops, however we are only ten minutes drive from the Boulangerie, cafes, restaurants and shops of historic Saint Antonin Noble Val, a medieval gem on the Gorges D’Aveyron, or if you'd prefer, the quieter village of Verfeil sur seye or the ancient town of Caylus.

A truly memorable holiday
We have just spent the most fabulous fortnight at La Grange, As Plos. It’s a beautiful spot close to one of our favourite towns in France, Saint Antonin Noble Val. The lovely owners have created a very comfortable and well equipped gite, with the most glorious pool. They live discreetly next door but were always on hand if we needed them. They were also full of great suggestions for things to see and do, of which there are plenty! We wouldn’t hesitate to return for another holiday.

Très bon séjour à Espinas
Belle propriété dans la campagne. Le jardin et la végétation sont très bien entretenus et raffinés. Beaucoup de travail. Les équipements sont conformes et adaptés. Petit bémol sur les frigos, un peu léger pour 8 personnes et les chaises qui mériteraient d’etre renouvelles. La maison est top, déco simple , non fragile et de bon goût ! On s’y sent très bien. Salles de bains modernes et parfaites ! équipement pour faire de la cuisine impeccable. Les jeux d’exter Et la piscine sont très bien. Nous avons séjourné 2 semaines dans cette jolie grange paisible. Merci à Marcus, Charlotte et la belle famille ! A bientot

A perfect stay in As Plos La Grange
My family & I had a wonderful 2-weeks' stay at La Grange. From the very 1st minute, we have been warmly welcomed by Charlotte & her lovely family, providing advice, support & smiles. The old-stoned building offers you an incredible view on the fields, forest & hills around. You are surrounded by nature with birds, deers, bees, bats... Swimming in the nice & safe pool or relaxing in the hamacs, you enjoy a magnificent garden all around, with lots of colors & perfumes. Need some sports? You won't find better place for running & cycling. The tennis table has triggered passionate family competitions. Each room is decorated with greatest taste. All necessary equipment are available & fully operational, ensuring your peace of mind. La Grange is perfectly located to enjoy the beauties & many activities of the area. Charlotte will list them up for you, providing a personalized lists of activities, restaurants, places to visit... Thank you so much for these dream vacations! NB: you either need a car (with good tires :) ) or good cycling skills to enjoy this secret place!

Stay in Espinas in August 2020
We had a wonderful time in Espinas, my husband, our 3 teenagers and I. The house, swimming pool and garden were perfect. The house is equiped with everything we needed. The hosts are very nice and welcoming. The location was exactly what we were looking for : in the middle of the countryside but close to small towns and to various outdoor activities (kayak on the Aveyron, Via Ferrata on the nearby cliffs, horseback riding,...). The area and the villages around are gorgeous, with a lot of preserved middle age architecture. I warmly recommend this stay.

We live, work, run cycling holidays and self catering accommodation all here in beautiful south-west France. Sometimes we even enjoy the local food, wine and beer!

Why they chose this property

After holidaying in this area we were struck with how beautiful and yet largely unknown this region is. It offers it all, with the dramatic landscapes of the Saint Antonin gorge, the vineyards of Gaillac to the picturesque medieval bastide villages of Cordes sur Ciel, Puycelsi and Najac. With peace and tranquility on our doorstep yet with opportunity to take part in lively festivals, markets and village gatherings, we felt it was the perfect place to to live and raise a family. Our property is in easy reach of all essential amenities and the fantastic tourist sights of the region, yet it is completely rural with only the distant sound of tractors and cows! Our barn has been renovated to a high standard and each room has it's own en-suite making it perfect for shared family, groups of friends or couples wanting to holiday together. And, for when it's hot (and does it get hot!) there's the pool to re-energise in!

What makes this property unique

-The stunning views from the barn and terrace overlooking the country side and private walled pool area
- Star gazing or sunbathing on the terrace
- Opportunity to walk or cycle straight from the door or to explore the local countryside and walking routes
- Bird or nature watching from the living room!
- Huge alfresco dining area to share meals with family and friends
- Traditional and quaint on the outside but with luxury and modern finishings and fittings on the inside .
- Annual summer festivals in the local village and surrounding villages
- Summer night markets
