Beautifully Converted Barn With Private Pool and Stunning Views - Saint-Puy, Gers, Midi Pyrenees Reviews

Complete and utter heaven! This is the second time that we have spent a wonderful holiday at this beautiful gite and I certainly hope that it won’t be the last! I can’t recommend it enough.

We were pleased to find that everything was as immaculate as it was during our first stay at Cauboue. The gite itself is spacious, clean and well kept, exactly as it appears in the photographs. It's ideal for a couple like us, but with enough room to accommodate up to four people. We were met on arrival by the manager, who is English speaking and is available if there are any queries during your stay, who never fails to give you a warm welcome and a gratefully appreciated fresh baguette, a good bottle of wine and a French cheese. He is always there on hand when advice is needed but allows guests their privacy and space. The neighbours are also extremely warm and friendly offering their kind hospitality and invitations to local events.

We have been lucky enough to enjoy hot sunny days with bright blue skies during both of our stays in Cauboue – firstly in September 2011 then in May this year – so have spent the majority of our time lazing by the pool, whilst enjoying the peace and solitude, the glorious views from the property to the beautiful hilltop village of St.Puy or cycling through the local lanes through miles of stunning countryside.

The setting is idyllic for anyone hankering after a holiday in the south of France - not too far from Toulouse airport, an abundance of idyllic countryside, perfect for exploring either by bicycle or car. When the weather is too hot for venturing far, we recommend a swim in the huge, immaculately kept pool or just lounging in the sunshine with a good book and a glass of wine from the local vineyard. Absolute heaven, what more could you ask?!

We have already highly recommended Cauboue to our family and friends - it would be perfect for both couples or families with two children. The trouble with writing a review for Cauboue is that we'd actually like to keep it all to ourselves so that we can visit whenever we want to! It was all that we dreamed of and more.
