Puycalvel Other | Old farmhouse in open country with stunning views and private pool

5 Bedroom Place in Puycalvel

La Calvetiรฉ nestles in the lovely hills of the Tarn, 80 kilometres east of Toulouse, surrounded by open fields and woodlands, and has its own meadow and a magnificent view towards the Pyrenees.
The property occupies about an acre of land. The house has been restored to create a beautiful, light, relaxing environment, sleeping ten people in comfort. It is available for Saturday to Saturday bookings (for one week or more), is fully equipped with all modern conveniences and has its own private pool (8 x 4 m) and two terraces for dining and for sunbathing. The pool has a child safety cover and a separate safety fence, if required. There are also bicycles for grown-ups, badminton equipment, indoor games, TV, DVD and good WiFi access, and miles of countryside to explore. Near the orchard is a boules court, with a sitting area where you can enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sun go down.
The house is arranged over three floors.
Ground floor
On the ground floor, there is a large open-plan sitting room/dining room/kitchen, with an open fireplace (not needed in summer!) and two french windows leading to the south-facing garden. There are two large sofas and two armchairs. The dining area has an extendable table to seat up to 12. The fully equipped kitchen includes an electric cooker, dishwasher, fridge and coffee maker.
Next to this is another large room, providing an extra sitting room and also giving the opportunity for children to have their own space. Again, there are french windows to the garden. The ground floor also features a downstairs loo and a utility room, with washing machine, ironing facilities, microwave, a second fridge and separate freezer, and storage.
Bedrooms
On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, all with south-facing views, one of them reached by its own private staircase. They have full length mirrors and good storage space. The beds are all exceptionally comfortable. Bed linen and towels (plus pool towels) are included in the rental charge. Each first floor bedroom has an en suite bathroom. In one of them, the bath and shower are separate; in the other two, the shower is within the bath.
There are two bedrooms in the attic. In each of these rooms there are two single beds, which can be arranged as one double bed if required. These two rooms share a bathroom, again with an integral shower in the bath.
Outside
On the south face of the house is a large dining terrace with table and chairs, and with fabulous views over open countryside towards the Pyrenees (which are sometimes visible in their full glory). The terrace is shaded by kiwi and jasmine plants, and adjacent to it is a barbecue.
A few yards down the hill from this top terrace is the 8 x 4 m (1.2 - 1.6 m deep) swimming pool, landscaped into the hillside. There are parasols on the grassed lower terrace just above it, providing plenty of shade for everyone. The pool has a Calypso fixed cover for child safety, easy to remove and replace as needed. It also has a complete safety fence that can be put up or not, as each tenant requests. There is lighting and power sockets for music at the poolside.
Other services
Wi-Fi connection, UK and French TV, central heating (unlikely to be required in summer), high chair and travel cot, a blow-up toddler bed, a stair gate to protect young children, a cleaning and bed-changing service each Saturday, swimming pool maintenance each Saturday, garden maintenance once a fortnight, indoor and outdoor games and two bicycles. There is parking for plenty of cars. Our letting manager is also our neighbouring farmer and can sort out any unforeseen problems.

Summary: We were delighted with the house and pool at La Calvetie. The house was well appointed with everything you need for a family holiday. The garden was large with plenty of space for children to play, the pool was a good size with lots of sun loungers and the Boules court was used every night. The house manager was on call to help out with any little problems. Highly recommended.

Summary: We enjoyed the house with 2 families and kids. Beautiful, quiet location with great weather. The house and pool were clean and well maintained and the 4 bathrooms were highly appreciated. Much to see and do in the environment within a distance of 60 mins drive. Highly recommended.

Summary: Eight of us including grandsons 11& 8 spent a torrid week in during the August heatwave. The house is set in beautiful scenery far from the madding crowd but is well equipped with plenty of space. The pool was a lifesaver and was much used.It was super to see the stars and a superb view of Mars without any light pollution.Lots of butterflies and wildlife in general including a handsome hare who stopped by to stare at us one early morning. We all enjoyed playing late night boules with no one to disturb, even when taking late night swims. Life at La Calvรฉtie was so congenial that we didn't travel much. We did go to Carcassonne and wished we hadn't as it was like the Seventh Circle of Hell on a hot August weekday! Lautrec and Castres were much nicer. The house is equally suitable for large family gatherings or for several couples as there are 4 bathrooms -thus avoiding morning grumblings!

Summary: Easy to book and manage before visit to France. Clean and ready for arrival. Suited us well being 6 adults and 2 children: space for all to sit and read, swim, play in the garden or ramble. Thanks to Jim and Kay for sharing their home. A great week's break for us.

Summary: This is a wonderful house in a beautiful and peaceful location. It was perfect for our family holiday: plenty of room for eight of us, pool and boules to occupy us when we needed a break from just sitting in the sun and reading, and no neighbours to disturb! The house has been tastefully renovated, with all the facilities and equipment you could hope for. Hard to beat for a holiday get away!

Summary: This lovely welcoming farmhouse provided a magnificent base for a family wedding which took place in a small village, 25 minutes away, not far from the brideโ€™s home. The property accommodated very comfortably our immediate family and family joining us from Canada. We were also able to cater with ease for other wedding guests staying in the vicinity and popping in for drinks or for supper in the days following the event. Whilst keeping the French rustic charm of the property, Jim and Kay have created a modern elegant interior: bright, uncluttered and comfortable. Light oak has been used most attractively to open up the stairs and landings, The good quality beds and bedlinen have already been mentioned by other reviewers: add to these the well-appointed bathrooms and the lashings of hot water. Although the kitchen area is small, a good sized utilty room provides extra storage. There was everything we needed for cooking and the domestic appliances were excellent The house is deep into the countryside โ€“ there is no such thing as a corner shop. The boulangerie in Lautrec sells excellent croissants if you get there early enough and we bought delicious freshly made pizzas from the bakery in Puycalvel itself โ€“ and even ordered them on-line. The house has all those modern amenities holiday makers think they can do without โ€“ but canโ€™t really: wi-fi, landline phone, and access to British television. Jacky, the farmer next door, welcomed a constant stream of small children, anxious to see the newly born lambs. Kayโ€™s โ€˜welcome packโ€™ included easily accessed information on everything we could possibly want to know and she supplied us with directions to the house from points north, south, east and west.

Summary: Fabulous house in a wonderful, rural location. Quiet, calm, spacious and extremely well-finished. Jacqui, the farmer next door, befriended us and gave us more garlic than we will ever need. A great holiday and we will be back.

Summary: We have just had a family holiday here. A truly lovely spot! The house was spacious and well laid out. The decor was very good and the pool was just perfect for the kids. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend 'La Calvetie' to anyone looking for a quality yet homely retreat. It's also in a wonderful part of France!
