About this property
Rural Tranquility near Toulouse
Saint Laurent is an ideal place for a holiday away from Covid-19.
Our nearest neighbour is 1 km away.
We enjoy 27 hectares (66 acres) of private land.
We are at the end of a cul-de-sac so there is no passing traffic.
Hand sanitiser is available in all apartments.
Our apartments have independent access, which makes social distancing easy.
They have fast wifi, a comfortable workspace and are suitable for children.
Geoff and Penny are retired health professionals who understand the issues.
This ground-floor, self-contained, 57 sq m apartment is part of a large, beautifully-restored farm house. Huge garden and staggering panoramic views of the Pyrenees, but close to a medieval village and only a few minutes from the A64 motorway.
The apartment is for your own private use, and although the owners reside at the property, there is no interaction unless you wish it. You can enjoy, by invitation, the common areas of the house, which include a large salon and balcony. In the salon there is a Kawai grand piano.
Guests have access to the extensive grounds, and there are many established walks in the area.
Breath-taking views, a rich cultural heritage, meandering rivers and canals, winding roads and quality local produce all conspire to make Saint Laurent an unforgettable rural experience. Here you can get away from it all, but if you want some action, you do not have to travel far to find it.
It is advisable to have your own transport. There is plenty of free private parking.
