About this property

Relax by the pool with a view over the Célé valley

Blissful lazing by the large pool, a splash in the river or visiting one of the beautiful villages or caves nearby? Welcome to this authentic 'mas' on the hill, away from the crowds and close to everything you could wish for.

Take the exit just before Cahors, on the A20 southbound, and your holiday really begins. The road winds through the beautiful Parc Naturel Régional et Géoparc des Causses de Quercy, and 30 minutes later you're lying in the heated pool.
Aperitif?

Located on the hillside, the villa overlooks the valley of the river Célé with falaises about 100m below.
There are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large kitchen, a living room directly connected to the pool and a play/pool room in the basement.
Directly outside the kitchen is an outdoor terrace with gas BBQ. Right by the pool is a covered lounge (which, in case of rain, can also be used as an outdoor dining area) and an outdoor kitchen with dressing room/toilet.
The private 11x5m saltwater pool, overlooking the garden and stunning views of the falaises, can be heated to 27 degrees.
The private parking area behind the guest house can accommodate up to 4 cars.
The total estate consists of 13 ha of woodland of which the fenced hillside garden is about 1 ha, maintained fortnightly by a professional gardener.

Conjure up a cool wine from the pantry and treat the home folks to a selfie overlooking the valley behind you. No need to light the large barbecue on the upper terrace just yet, as it runs on gas. Handy. So you have plenty of time to make plans for tomorrow:

-Dive into the heated saltwater pool first thing in the morning (no stinging chlorine eyes!).
-Get the tastiest croissants in Cabrerets.
-Go see the cave paintings of Pêche-Merle (10 km away).
-Walk 500m to the little beach below and dive into the Célé.
-Order an artisanal ice cream in beautiful Marcilhac-sur-Célé (8 km).
-Shop in Cajarc and take time for a pastis.
-Reserve at Espédaillac's primal French restaurant.
-Rent a kayak and explore the Célé.
-Cruise by car along the beautiful valleys and villages.
-Visit the artists' village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie.
-Explore one of the many hiking trails nearby (GR651) .
-Enjoy shooting stars and the Milky Way.
-Make a boat trip on the Lot.
-Stop at the Museum of Curiosities (and actually step inside).
-Go shopping in Toulouse (with airport) at 1, 5 hrs.
-Make room in the suitcase for some wine from Cahors (40 mins).
-Hike, bike, go horse riding, wall climbing, fishing ...
-or decide you just feel like lazily enjoying yourself.

Saulliac-sur-Célé is in the middle of 'Le Triangle Noir Du Quercy'. Within this dark triangle, every village extinguishes its lights at night. Planets, the Milky Way and dozens of shooting stars appear there night after night in a literally magnificent starry sky.

At 25m from the villa there is a comfortable and fully equipped guest house of 100m2 with sleeping accommodation for up to 4 people. This house is not rented separately during the summer months, but can be rented as an additional privacy accommodation for parents or in case of a larger group.

The house we have rented visiting the Lot region over 20 years

Complete privacy, not over looked, dark sky at night, perfect for star gazers, all to the night time call of Nightingales that populate the valley below. We didn't book the small house, but saw inside, its prefect too.

We enjoyed a wonderful week exploring the Célé Valley while staying in this charming, well-equipped villa. The highlight was undoubtedly the pool area, with its large swimming pool, breathtaking views across the valley, plenty of shaded spots, and a convenient outdoor kitchen.At night, the skies were simply spectacular. The Milky Way was clearly visible, and we were lucky enough to see plenty of shooting stars.A big thank you to Viviane and Willem for being such welcoming and helpful hosts. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone looking for a peaceful stay in this beautiful part of France.

Hi Dominic Thank you for your superb review. Highly appreciated. Also we found that you and your family were excellent guests. The state you left the house behind was outright stunning. Virtually nothing left to do for us. Thanks again for your stay and perhaps we will see you another time in the future. Best Willem and Viviane

Wonderful house in a beautiful spot

What a great stay! The house and setting were beautiful, the pool was an absolute delight, the river was close by and deliciously cooling and everything was high quality, worked well and had been thoroughly thought through. Highly recommended. The only thing that could have improved it would be air conditioning in all the bedrooms rather than just the largest. All round though it was superb.

Maison très agréable

Séjour très agréable dans cette maison charmante et très équipée. Nous y avons séjourné en période de forte chaleur : la maison garde la fraîcheur et bénéficie d’un coin piscine très apprécié. Les paysages alentours sont magnifiques et propices aux balades, au départ du village. Nous recommandons sans hésitation !

Dank voor uw reactie. We zijn blij dat u een fine tijd hebt gehad. Maar u bent de eerste die Klaagt over de bedden. Dat vinden wij bijzonder jammer. Misschien bent u niet gewend aan lichaamsaanpassende 'state of the art' Tempur matrassen.
