Summary: We had a very nice stay in this medieval tower with splendid views of the village of Najac and the valley of the Aveyron. The house itself with its winding staircase, creaking floors and secluded court-yard has a truly medieval atmosphere, and the large garden overlooking the valley is a great place for eating and spending afternoons reading. Comfort is rather basic (e.g., decaying furniture, noisy refrigerator), and when it rains one needs an umbrella to reach the WC across the courtyard. Also, cleanliness was substandard when we arrived. But over-all, we had a great stay and may well come back.

Summary: We totally enjoyed the stay. It's a long and winding road up the mountains to Najac but the trip is totally worth it. The house is old, as well as it's furnitures, but all of them are functional and we have everything we need for a comfortable stay. The house is just next to the castle and is one of the important historical buildings in Najac. We owner's friend Stephane is very helpful and showed us around the town. He also gave us a lot of useful recommendations of places to see. Thank you very much!

Summary: What an amazing place! We stayed with our four children and we were enchanted from the moment the door was opened (by Stéphane, our very helpful host for the week). Although this is an ancient house, all the rooms were comfortable. Modernisation has been kept to a minimum which allows the true character of the house to remain, we could really imagine what it must have been like to live in a medieval castle (albeit with modern comforts!) We loved the spiral staircase and the views from all the windows are wonderful. Everything we needed for our weeks stay was provided. The bathroom is modern with a great shower. We had a barbecue in the garden and relaxed on the hammock, listening to the birds wheeling overhead. Truly magical place to stay, especially if you are interested in history.

Summary: We have just had a fantastic family holiday in Najac staying at this magnificent house at the foot of the medieval castle. Despite the fact it's over 800 years old, it is in very good condition, clean, spacious, very light and sufficiently equipped for a very comfortable stay. It's a very magical place for children (as our children found out) and adults too. The stone spiral staircase gives the place incredible character plus many other details such as the enormous original fireplace in the kitchen. The views of the village and surrounding landscape are exceptional and the small gardens are a huge bonus. I would highly recommend this house to anyone thinking about staying in Najac.

Summary: Our family loved staying in this 13th century tower in Najac. It truly was like living in a fairy tale. As Americans, it was incredible to think about the age of the rooms we were living in and the history contained within those walls. The kitchen/living room had everything we needed for relaxing and preparing simple meals. it would be fun to stay in the winter and use the huge fireplace in that room, but just the ambiance of the fireplace was wonderful. The bedrooms are huge - each on its own floor - and the beds are very comfortable. The views out of all the windows - in the rooms and along the spiral staircase -- are fabulous. There are a lot of stairs, but for us every step was worth it. The outdoor spaces are also very inviting - the porch off the entry and the yard with grill in back. Jean, the owner, was a thoughtful host, explaining where everything was and how it worked. He also made great recommendations on places to purchase food and eat in town. We enjoyed getting croissants at the bakery every morning and choosing from the vast array of yogurt flavors at the corner grocery; We stayed for four nights and very much hope to return for a longer stay.
