Photos and Description of this Tarn holiday barn 2 Bedrooms (one king-size and one twin); 2 bathrooms; sleeps 4.

The Grange at La Valette is a fully renovated barn with two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a very large living area. The fully equipped kitchen has a dishwasher, microwave, oven and hob units. We provide all the equipment required including TV, video, BBQ, mountain bikes, and linen and towels. The pool is exclusive to the gite and is situated in its own grounds within the 2 acre garden. The area is peaceful, yet only 20 minutes by car from Albi (famous for its cathedral and Toulouse-Lautrec museum). The beautiful Tarn valley is very close, where there is canoeing, cycling and walking. In the region there is lots to see and do including the bastide villages, wine growing, activity centres and wildlife parks. With easy access from the airports of Toulouse (1.15hrs) and Rodez(1hr) this is a lovely part of France and well worth a visit. We will make you very welcome at La Valette.

A week in June

B.A.T. Dunfermline
Review Submitted: July 2, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We were lucky enough to chance upon this property whilst arranging a last minute holiday flying from Edinburgh to Toulouse in June 2009.

The accommodation was excellent - spotlessly clean, comfortable beds with a well equipped and stocked kitchen for self-catering. A real home from home with everything you could need by way of entertainment in the well-stocked bookcases, CDs, DVDs, games etc.

A beautiful heated pool for relaxing and recharging the batteries. But if you can tear yourself away, a visit to Albi is a must. The spectacular bridge at Millau was also a highlight as was our visit to the "really French" local market at Realmont.

Most of all Peter and Lizie were splendid hosts and provided a wealth of local knowledge. Their attention to detail couldn't be faulted.

The only downside? The photographs barely do the accommodation justice and a week was nowhere near enough time to spend at La Valette.

Idyllic rural retreat

S.A.C Edinburgh
Review Submitted: November 23, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Our stay in this lovely spacious converted barn exceeded our expectations. This delightful hamlet in the hills above Albi made a great base from which to explore the region; although rural it was not isolated. The local village of Villefranche d'Albigeois had a good range of shops, bars and cafes and friendly inhabitants. Albi could easily be reached in 15 minutes and provided facilities such as supermarkets and restaurants.


The well maintained accommodation was furnished with charm and flair; attractive pieces of local furniture, pictures and china combined to provide a delightful ambience. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen area well equipped - all was spotless.

A good selection of books, CDs, DVDs and an iPod docking system were much appreciated as was the use of bicycles, the wonderful salt water pool and barbecue. A morning cycle ride to the village to collect fresh bread and croissants soon became routine for the more energetic members of the party.

Peter and Lizie were attentive and endearing hosts with a fund of useful local knowledge and provided us with a with a good range of suggestions of what to see and do locally.

Highlights of our visit included trips to Toulouse, Albi and Castres, exploring local bastides and kayaking on the Tarn (this was deemed to be so good that a second trip had to be undertaken!). The area had a good selection of local restaurants - we particularly enjoyed the restaurant at Alban.

Sadly 10 days was not long enough to fit in all we wanted to do but all were agreed that La Valette provided the ideal combination of being a great place in which to relax with plenty to do and see.
