About this property

House/gite in medieval village of Najac

The village of Najac is one of the "plus beaux villages de France".

The house stands on the south side of a fine medieval street (mostly pedestrian) that leads to the Chateau.

Owned and completely restored and furnished by a potter/furniture maker to the highest standards. Inspired by the traditional inns of Japan (ryokan). It offers a calm environment created with natural materials; local woods (wild cherry, elm, oak, ash), for the furniture, raw silk, hand made ceramics and celadon tableware, original paintings. Please note, there are no ornaments or fragile furnishings to interfere with your relaxation!


Walking: The area around Najac is one of the finest in France for walking. The landscape is deeply cut by the winding gorges of the two rivers Viaur and Aveyron. The valleys are forested & quite wild, but easily accessible by clearly marked walks. Fine and varied domestic architecture abounds; beautiful clusters of houses in hamlets & villages often perched, like the medieval château, on prominent strategic points above the rivers. Within a few kilometres of Najac, one finds great variety of interest, Roman bridges, abandoned copper mines, & bastide towns like Villefranche-de-Rouergue, & Cordes. We recommend April, May, June, Sept and Oct for walking. Bird watching here is excellent. Canoeing, rock climbing, & other sports are available. River swimming is first-rate and safe for all ages.

Village: In the village there are café-bars, a baker, grocery shop, newsagent and a Doctor. Good restaurants of all price ranges and in the summer months, a Sunday market. The municipal swimming pool and tennis courts are open in the summer.

Najac is well served by rail. Daily services to and from Toulouse, Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Figeac, Rodez and Paris. Toulouse airport is 1 ½ hours from Najac and Rodez 1 hour.

Pottery: It is 10 minutes from the village and offer the chance to take pottery lessons. From beginner to more advanced level, all ages are welcome, please contact us for more details.

A week in Najac

This house was a wonderful place to stay, right in the centre of Najac. Simply but tastefully decorated with a great terrace for enjoying the evenings, we loved every minute. Parking was nearby, about 50m away. All of the cafés/restaurants were a short walk. A lovely house in a beautiful location. I would love to return.

Great property in the heart of lovely Najac

Central location with a terrace with a great view down the valley. Very nicely furnished with hand made pieces that have a Japanese influence making for a very peaceful vibe. Enough kitchen equipment to make good meals (combi microwave and hob) and lovely hand made crockery. Comfortable beds, good shower room. We needed some supplementary heating which Sebastien provided straight away. We would certainly stay again.

Super host, lovely town

Sebastien is a great host! Fluent in 4 languages. His house is full of character and well equipped. The view from the very usable balcony is superb. We liked Najac very much. Fascinating buildings and steep hills! No private parking at the house but small public parking very close or larger one the other side of the square.

Ankommen und Wohlfühlen

Bei der Ankunft wurden wir herzlich von Sebastián persönlich empfangen. Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld lief problemlos. Sebastián spricht perfekt Englisch. Er zeigte uns alles im Haus und war auch später für Fragen stets erreichbar. Das Haus ist alt, aber liebevoll saniert. Das absolute Highlight ist der Balkon, wo jeden Morgen und Abend die Mauersegler ihre Runden flogen und sich einem ein fantastischer Blick über das Tal und die Berge bietet. Najac ist sehr ruhig und bietet alles, was man braucht: Bäcker, kleiner Lebensmittelladen, Cafés und ein paar weitere kleine Geschäfte. Tagsüber sind zwar Touristen in dem Örtchen zu Fuß unterwegs, aber es ist insgesamt sehr ruhig. Nachts ist es absolut still und man kann gut schlafen. Der Brunnen legt in der Nacht auch eine Pause ein. Das WLAN war übrigens hervorragend, sodass man problemlos die nächsten Tagesaktionen planen konnte. Wir haben uns rundherum wohlgefühlt.

Jolie maison de ville dans une bastide magnifique

La maison du potier est parfaitement située entre la forteresse et le bourg de Najac qui est une bastide magnifique où règne une super ambiance l'été. C'est un QG idéal pour se balader dans le village et rayonner dans la région. A l'intérieur tout est hyper fonctionnel et arrangé avec goût et Sébastien est très aimable et connaît très bien la région. Je recommande vivement !!!!!

Un séjour à Najac

Très joli petit village situé sur une crête. Au bout en hauteur, une forteresse magnifique, que l'on peut admirer depuis plusieurs endroits dans le village. Bien sûr il est possible de la visiter. Marché le dimanche, petites boutiques d'artisans, petits restos bien notés, tout est la pour passer un excellent séjour. Et cerise sur le gâteau, la région est incroyable. Je vous invite à faire comme moi, venir visiter un des plus beaux villages de France.

Gerne wieder, toll.

Das Haus liegt zwischen der Burg und dem Marktplatz. Es ist sehr alt, wurde aber modernisiert und auf einen Zeitgemäßen Stand gebracht ohne dass sein Charme verloren ging. Früher war hier wohl eine Töperei drin. Tagsüber gibt es viele Touristen in der Stadt, abends ist es aber ruhig, so dass wir mit offenem Fenster schlafen konnten. Die Aussicht vom Balkon auf dem man zu viert gut sitzen kann ist herrlich. Man kann ohne Auto direkt rund um den Ort wandern gehen, oder Kanu fahren. Der Vermieter Sébastien ist sehr nett. Wir haben hier eine schöne Zeit verbracht und können das Haus nur weiterempfehlen.

Najac lieu d'histoire, mais pas que...

Le lieu est très riche (historique, mais commerces et distractions diverses...). La maison de Sébastien est très bien située, en centre village, bien conçue, disposant d'une terrasse avec vue dégagée sur la vallée. Sébastien est un hôte très sympathique, et connait bien ce village et sa région et la raconte avec plaisir.
