Beautiful Medieval House in St. Cirq Lapopie, Lot, Tarn-et-Garonne, Midi-Pyrénées Reviews

My husband and I have been renting vacation homes for years and this is the most incredible home by far! Charlie, the host and homeowner has managed at create an experience of staying in a historic home with the finest bathrooms, kitchens and furnishings. No expense was spared in the house, our combined group of seven had room to spare. Not only is the house amazing but the village of Saint Cirq Lapopie is breathtaking. I found myself taking photos of the village constantly! Just steps out the door are amazing restaurants, cute shops and art exhibitions. In the village nearby we rented mountain bikes for the teenagers and took a family kayak journey at the host’s recommendation. This host goes above and beyond and ensuring the guests are comfortable and happy. Every day he sent recommendations for dinners out, markets and fun things to do.

One thing future renters should know, this is truly a medieval village, built with a castle on the top of a hill, with some relatively steep inclines toward the top of the village. [Owner's Note: From the private owner's parking lot, you walk up a dozen stone steps, then through the Ancient Gate, on a relatively flat stretch of street that takes you to the house. You can also drive your car up to the house to unload luggage, shopping, etc.\ If you are ok with the inclines, you will be treated to amazing views across the village and valley below. You can also walk down to the beach and enjoy a cooling swim in the river. Saint Cirq Gormande is worth the walk up for the amazing apple tart, all the restaurants we tried served amazing dishes with duck as the regional specialty. There is nothing we would trade out from the vacation including the incline. I can't say enough times how amazing the views are from every window of the house and every location in the village.

This house offers everything you can ask for in an immersive experience. Our two family’s with three teens had more than enough to do for everyone. Truly incredible, highest recommendation.
