Accommodations: Lodge, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
Keywords: Lodge
The Lodge has recently been extended with a spacious second bedroom in addition to the beautiful four poster bedroom. The Lodge is on the ground floor and opens directly onto the inner courtyard through to the pool and gardens.
At first sight Cordes-sur-Ciel takes your breath away, La Gaudane is a superbly crafted golden stone building with its five floors clad in wisteria and trompette. It was designed and built in 1881 as an embroidery factory. Each apartment is outstanding with a unique personality of antique furniture and state of the art appliances.
It has all the advantages of the town with the quietness of being just off the busier beat. Set on the lower slopes of the 13th Century fortified town it is just 300 metres from bakers, butchers, bank, post office, supermarket, and patisserie. The Lodge has direct access to the Terrace and new fenced pool. The Terrace is part shaded with magnificent panoramic views over the valley of the Cerou. Cordes is handy for an enchanting array of beautiful little antique villages and bastides perched on high or even a trip into the wild Aveyron or down to the blue Mediterranean through the Herault.
La Gaudane sits on the lower slopes of Cordes-sur-Ciel with its medieval houses, narrow lanes, and endless mazes of little stone alleys, steps, tunnels, and gardens. It takes ten minutes to walk up to the medieval city from La Gaudane to browse in the many shops selling handicrafts and delicious specialities of the Tarn. There are many restaurants and cafes to while the time.
Cordes-sur-Ciel is a very special town. It is impossible to be untouched by its charm or to leave it without warm and special memories. And last, but not least, you will find the last phases of the 19th Century embroidery heritage whose beautiful works are to be found at La Gaudane and locally in specialist shops and ateliers.

Good price but very basic accommodations
Guest: Sea Rancher
(The Sea Ranch, California)
Date of Stay: 09/13/11
Review Submitted: 10/13/11
The Cordes area is charming, with restaurants, bakeries and shopping all within walking distance. The property manager is pleasant, and available on site. But the price is low for a reason: accommodations are quite basic, with the grounds poorly maintained. The apartment is a little ragged and needs updating/renovating. Bathing facilities consist of a free-standing tub with a hand-held shower device. Furniture is a bit shabby, and floor is stained. We cut our stay short as this was not a property that felt comfortable or relaxing for us.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, families with young children, adventure seekers, age 55+.
