Quercy town hall with panoramic views, 200 ft, above the Lot valley — Property 17593

Quercy town hall with panoramic views, 200 ft, above the Lot valley

Situated some 200 feet directly above the Lot Valley, commanding direct views of the river and its valley from all sides of the property, this former town hall and school is afforded with possibly some of the best views in the Lot Valley. The property has been renovated and converted with a mix of true French Quercy tradition and modern French Chic to a very individual self contained Gite. The gite has its own ‘patio terrace’ overlooking the rear of the property with far reaching views towards Cajarc Sur Lot, some 15 km distant. To the front are individual window balconies that have views towards the 17C Cenevieres Chateaux and further towards Saint Cirq Lapopee. A local villager runs a small horse ridding school, located a 5 minute drive away, where horses can be taken for lessons. From the terrace and balcony can be seen the wildlife of the Lot, with nesting Eagles, Kestrels and Kites, the property gives views of birds that are rarely seen in Northern Europe.

Further details for the chateau / country house in Lot, Midi-Pyrenees, France

We welcome all our guests, either personally or through our local meet and greet property manager. Locally there are swimming pools including one at a local very small campsite in the valley which, in addition to restaurants in the village has a small restaurant and bar which proves very well placed for our guests. We have been lucky enough in the past couple of years to have guests stay with us from Australia, USA and Canada as well as Europe and have been lucky also to have several repeat visits. Our home here, we hope, has been made to feel like a home away from home and one that fits, comfortably, in the French way of life. It is neither a sterile or blank canvas, but one that reflects the French life and has such profound history embedded within the character of the both the building and village. In our opinion, one of the loveliest villages in France.

if you are planning a special weekend or holiday - do please let us know. We will happily arrange for flowers, champagne etc... we can also make a booking at a local gastronomic restaurant for you should you choose, simply let us know your requirements and we can discuss the arrangements with you.

Dear Ben and Rachel, Paul and I had a wonderful time in Calvignac. The weather was perfect and the scenery even more beautiful in its springtime splendour. We'll certainly consider further visits! We had to leave one day earlier than anticipated so didn't have a chance to write our comments in the book which would have been nothing less than glowing! Yours, Susan Licence. Dear Ben and Rachel, We had an absolute ball. Thanks for thinking of everything, we will return. Weather in October at 27C quite wonderful. Thanks again, Rob and Jane.
