About this property

Luxury Barn Conversion; Rural Retreat in South West France

La Salette, our beautifully restored 18th century stone farmhouse nestles in the Vere Valley less than 5 minutes stroll from the picturesque village and restaurant of Larroque. L'Ancienne Ecurie, the adjoining barn, has been converted to provide luxurious, independent accommodation for up to 6 people. The barn has original restored stone walls and exposed timbers throughout, with spacious accommodation on three floors. The well equipped kitchen and dining area which seats up to 6 people has double french doors leading on to the south facing terrace and gardens. The large sitting room is located on the first floor and has a vaulted beamed ceiling with views of the beautiful countryside. It has 3 spacious double bedrooms, a galleried mezzanine and 3 bathrooms. Situated within 3 acres of grounds with beautiful views of the village of Larroque, with its half timbered houses.


Garden and Grounds.: Your holiday home is set within 3 acres of grounds and has mature trees with extensive natural shade.

L'Ancienne Ecurie has its own table and chairs for outdoor dining, sun loungers and access to many areas of additional seating with a choice of sunshine or shade.
Also available for your entertainment are facilities for table tennis, badminton, boules and football.
A barbecue is provided for you.

You can easily walk from L'Ancienne Ecurie along ancient tracks through the shady forest of the Gresigne to the hill top village of Puycelsi (Fortress of the Gresigne).




Local Activities: Leisure and sporting facilities to be found locally, include the Base de Loisirs near Castelnau de Montmiral and in the opposite direction, at Monclar de Quercy. Here are man-made lakes with supervised swimming, water slides, beach, boating and fishing. The nearby vast (1600 acres) sports and leisure complex at Cap Decouverte has a wide range of activities which include skiing, rail toboganning, zip-lining, roller blading, skating and a swimming pool with fun pool, slides and waterfall.
The spectacular Aveyron Gorges lead to the medieval town of St Antonin Noble Val with its popular Sunday morning market. This provides an opportunity to taste the local delights of Foie Gras, cheese, pates, Gaillac, Quercy or Cahors wines. The river Aveyron offers a popular location for swimming, picnicing, canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing and potholing. At Bruniquel you can enjoy a day's walking on the banks of the Aveyron or Vere with a hired donkey carrying your picnic or your young child.

Well worth a visit.: Albi, the capital town of the Tarn, and Montauban, the capital town of the Tarn et Garonne, are both within a 45 minute drive. These rose red towns, both on the banks of the Tarn, have historic centres with beautiful architecture, Cathedral, museums, (Albi; Sainte-Cecile Cathedral, Toulouse Lautrec Museum. Montauban; Ingress Museum) art galleries, boutiques, cafes and restaurants.
The market town of Gaillac, is home to the renowned Gaillac wines and is a 25 minute drive taking you through many of the local vineyards. On the banks of the Tarn, with its 12th century Abbey and adjacent Maison du Vin, museums, bustling Friday morning market, annual wine festival with spectacular fire work display, open air apero concerts and brocantes, Gaillac is a town worth visiting, as are Toulouse, Conques, St Cirq Lapopie, Najac, The
Millau Bridge and Roquefort Caves, Carcassonne, Andorra and The Pyrenees.

L’Ancienne Curie - a converted barn near Larroque in SW France
The barn has been delightfully renovated by its owners. It is large and comfortable and its facilities (kitchen, bathrooms, laundry) are modern and clean. It is ideally placed as a base for exploring the cities, towns and villages in the area

A delightful gite in the beautiful Tarn region
We spent a wonderful week in this delightful, charming gite whilst attending a family wedding in Larroque. There were 8 of us staying (all adults) - and the gite was comfortable and spacious enough for us all. The setting is lovely with nice outdoor sitting areas, and the surrounding area of the Tarn region is absolutely beautiful. Robin and Rosie were amazing hosts (together with Sophie the dog) who made us very welcome and willingly catered for our various needs during the week, providing advice and guidance when we needed it, together with practical support (even booking transport for some of our group). We could not have wished to have stayed anywhere nicer! Thank you Rosie & Robin.

Lovely place to stay
We were eight, attending our son's wedding at Chateau de la Vere. Rosie and Robin were welcoming and very helpful to us all and their house is a smashing place to stay. We were lucky to have had the opportunity to spend a week with them.

The French Country Life is alive and well .
We stayed 5 weeks and hated to leave . We had become family ,with the luxury of easy communication and shared interests . I can't think of anything we lacked and most needs seemed to be anticipated . We never would have found most of the restaurants on our own and we would have missed some of the more out of the way places which make the experience so special . We will be back !! Tina and Steve

A Five Star Experience!
Everything you might want or need was provided, the kitchen was well stocked if you wanted to cook, the beds were very comfortable, the livingroom invited long late night chats and the outside eating area was perfect to enjoy the evening. In addition to wonderful accommodations Rosie and Robin were welcoming hosts! We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and a delightful melon. Lots of literature for the area plus Rosie and Robin gave us good direction to the area. The only snag was sometimes a weak wifi signal. I heartily recommend a stay for a wonderful 5 star experience!
