Spacious stone farmhouse with pool on the border of Tarn/Aveyron

Les Chataigniers ia a classic 'courtyard farmhouse': a spacious stone farmhouse with its adjoining 'dining deck', six ensuite double bedrooms, an enormous games room across the courtyard and a swimming pool with a fantastic unspoilt view. All our visitors remark on the feeling of 'space': inside the farmhouse, in the clubhouse, at the pool and in the surroundings. All this is enhanced by the the spectacular view over the valley to the south. The hamlet, Campels, on the Tarn/Aveyrron borders, is at the end of the road with no through traffic. Les Chataigniers is off its square to the south with only valleys, woods and fields in its outlook. If you are a group of friends, family, extended family, colleagues etc. looking for tranquility where you can enjoy each others company but escape to your own 'space' when you need to - you will find it at Les Chataigniers.
