We had a wonderful stay in this lovely house. Ofcourse we had the best time enjoying the pool with it's spectaculair views of the mountains. Furthermore we visited beautiful places like Albi and Carcassonne. We also enjoyed visiting Aquaval and ziplining at Lac'cro Parc. We'd love to come back one day...

A great place to stay. Lot's of atmosphere and history. The authentic house, furniture, wallpaper, switches etc all are the right things.
The stay in-house is just for sleeping and coocking.
The place is all about the beautifull garden, outdoor k
itchen and swimmjng pool

We had a lovely stay at Les Figuiers. The setting is fabulous with a vista of rolling farmland and woodland. The pool is very impressive. Good size. Well positioned.
The house had everything we needed for eight people. Cutlery, crockery, kitchen utensils and BBQ facilities and the water pressure was surprisingly good.
I recommend the venue and would not hesitate to return.

We absolutely loved our family holiday at Les Figuiers. Francis is a wonderful host who was very attentive and the house is a home from home and all the better for it. We have three adult children so really appreciated the four large bedrooms each with a double bed. The pool was fabulous and the views spectacular. There is so much to do in and around Toulouse. The city itself is a new favourite. Tge Cite de L’Espace is a full days entertainment. The Halle de la machine is great fun We also had a wonderful day trip to Carcassonne. On another occasion we visited a fascinating cave system - the Grotte de Limousis. So many amazing places to eat. Le Jardín du Clocher stood out as did the Casoulet at Auberge de l’Orbiel at Lacombe. The restaurants above the Victor Hugo market in Toulouse are also worth a visit. Altogether a place that has so much more to offer and that we would love to return to.

Beautiful views, well equipped house and stunning pool
This is the second time we’ve stayed at Les Figuiers and it was as fantastic as we remembered. The views from the garden are stunning. The pool was a big draw for us - large, immaculately clean and looking out onto the beautiful scenery. Our children spent a large part of each day in there whilst we relaxed on the loungers beside it. The farmhouse is well equipped and has everything you’d need and it stays cool during the heat of the day. There’s plenty of activities to do in the surrounding area if you are so minded or you can just relax and take in the peacefulness that surrounds you. Highly recommended.

Dear Rosa,
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to write a review of your second holiday at Les Figuiers. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and that your children enjoyed the pool! We are delighted you chose to return to Les Figuiers and that the beautiful views and peacefulness enchanted you once again.
Thank you once more, and we are so glad you had a good holiday.
We hope you will return to Les Figuiers in the future.
With kind regards to you and your family,
Julie and Francis Jacques
We overall had a relaxing stay at Les Figuiers. The pool was wonderful and, as we had hot weather, we took full advantage of it, swimming every day. The house is good for staying cool due to it's thick stone walls. We did however find it quite dark inside the house and wonder if more lighting might be needed. There were a couple of issues with cleanliness but this may have been down to previous holiday makers. In summary a pleasant week but the standard of the house did not match the very high standard of the pool.

Dear Lindsey,
Thank you for your review and we are so pleased you and your family had a lovely holiday, and that you also enjoyed the pool and the wonderful views.
Thank you for your feedback, sorry you found a couple of pots had not been washed properly and we will get this double checked in the future.
We are aware that the house is a rustic, traditional farmhouse as advertised and our pool is very nice in term of its size and location.
We would love to welcome you and your family back one day in the future.
Kind regards

Kitchen was not clean at arrival.
Swimming pool was nice but the water was not clear/was rather green. The poolman visited but this change not much.
5 of the 6 loungers were cracked (not really useable without the risk of getting your skin trapped)

Dear Mark
I was saddened to read your review after a season of glorious reviews and I feel I must mention our pool man had suffered heat stroke the week you arrived, and as you were a last minute booking, had been unable to get the pool crystal clear for you.
Secondly I do hope you found the dishwasher tablets we provide, to run the mugs through the dishwasher.
Also I was disappointed to hear about the sunbeds and, as I explained privately this had gone unnoticed, it was only noticed when the lady from your party mentioned it to the pool man, they have now been replaced. There were, of course, cushions in the hall , which could have been used to make them more comfortable and we hope that with the aid of a pool towel you were able to relax on them.
We do also hope that you and your friends managed to enjoy your holiday, the well equipped farmhouse and facilities, the welcome pack to facilitate your arrival, as well as the private pool, and the beautiful views.
Sincerely,
Francis

Spacious, tranquil and well-equipped with an amazing pool
We stayed at Les Figuiers for one week with our two daughters and family friends who also have two daughters.
The house is spacious and very well-equipped with lots of character and history too. The kitchen has everything you need and all of the white goods were modern and worked well.
The bedrooms were all spacious with comfortable beds. And the bathrooms were good, especially the upstairs one that was large.
The gardens were nice and well maintained. We thought it would be good to have a perimeter fence to keep our dog from investigating the area but appreciate that it could detach from the views.
The pool was incredible, bigger than we thought, with beautiful views of the countryside. Brilliant too to have it fenced off.
All in all, a wonderful holiday and a great house. We wouldn't hesitate to return.
Tout a été parfait, bel environnement, vue splendide, maison rustique , ancestrale, propre très bien équipée, il manque rien, grande piscine, bien situé pour visiter les environs, nous avons passé un très beau séjour et sommes très satisfait. Merci
2 Excellentes semaines aux Figuiers pour nous. La maison est grande, beaucoup de chambres et de lits pour passer des vacances avec une large tribu d'amis ou d'enfants. De nombreux points forts: la piscine, très grande, parfaitement orientée. La cuisine: suffisamment spacieuse et très bien équipée, y compris barbecue et plancha. L'environnement: au calme, avec une vue reposante sur la campagne environnante. Peu de pollution lumineuse la nuit! La situation: proximité de Gaillac, l'Isle sur tarn, ou encore Toulouse et Albi à 1h ou moins. La maison en elle-même a un intérieur, un agencement et des meubles rustiques qui fait tout son charme. Bref nous avons pu nous reposer, nager, et découvrir une très belle région! Merci aux propriétaires et à Yannick qui a été aux petits soins pour nous.

Mooi oud Frans huis, heerlijk zwembad met prachtig uitzicht!
We hebben heerlijk genoten van dit prachtige echt Franse huis in een mooie omgeving! Het zwembad was geweldig (zowel om in te spelen als om in alle vroegte baantjes te trekken) en het uitzicht was prachtig! We hebben een fijne tijd gehad met ons gezin met puberkinderen en 3 van hun vrienden.

Nous avons particulièrement apprécié de vivre dans ce charmant jardin. Il dispose de plusieurs lieux de séjour à occuper selon l'heure de la journée et la position du soleil, chacun à son charme. Bien sûr la piscine est un atout, elle est très belle, agréable, avec une vue magnifique sur la campagne environnante. Nous y avons passé de très longs moments. Les fleurs y sont très présentes, le figuier nous a donné quelques très bons fruits. Bref, un séjour qui nous laissera un bon souvenir !

Chere Delphine,
Je suis ravi que la piscine et l'environnement calme et reposant vous ai plu. En ce qui concerne la maison, les vacanciers precedents ont apprecie le caractere et l'autenticite des lieux, ils ne sont certainement pas moderne mais fonctionels et bien equipes, exactement comme la description sur le site.
Nous avons passé une super semaine dans cette maison. Les points forts sont le jardin très agréable pour manger et la superbe piscine. L'intérieur est sombre et un peu vieillot, mais fonctionnel (et le côté sombre est appréciable quand il fait chaud). La cuisine est très bien équipée. Nous avons pu visiter Albi, Cordes sur ciel, la cité de l'espace, faire du canoë. Bref, une super semaine.

Charming traditional farmhouse with a truly amazing pool and views
We stayed as a group of 9, two couples, five children between 5 and 12. The property is well equipped with French rural charm in spades. The photos don’t do the size or views from the pool and garden justice, both are brilliant. We spent 6 days, and we would have stayed another week. We only left the property for one full day, partly because it was really hot, and partly because we had everything we needed! (Fans, pool, fridge, showers!) The property is an old farmhouse, with really thick walls that keep the heat out.
The local villages and towns have restaurants and shopping to eat in or out.
The owners were super responsive for a couple of tiny things, and the place is clearly well loved from other reviews and the guest book.
If you’re looking for a summer, rural retreat, especially with children then this is a great choice. When we arrived 3/5 kids could swim, now it’s 4!

Special family times in Les Figuiers
We have had a lovely stay in a very characterful house and despite not having brilliant weather we had a very special time. It is an excellent area for lots of exploring in both car and on foot.
There is an excellent collection of games too so when the thunder and lightening came we were happy and cosy playing an assortment of games!!! The pool was fabulous but unfortunately the weather wasn't!!!
Friendly people all around as always in France.

Très bel endroit que nous recommandons vivement
Très joli point de vue, très belle piscine qui domine la vallée face aux Pyrénées tout au loin. Joli banc à l'ancienne placée de façon à regarder la vallée ou bien le ciel étoilé. Belle et grande maison spacieuse très bien équipée. Seul bémol : manque de lumière exterieure quand on veut diner dehors les soirs d'été. Quant à son emplacement géographique, elle se situe au milieu des lieux à voir et à visiter. Je (nous) recommande vivement cette maison si vous souhaitez etre tranquille entre amis dans la nature et disposer d'un certain confort.

Perfect venue for family holiday
We are two families with 6 children between us and they all agreed this was the best house we have stayed in. We like a holiday where the adults can relax and the children can entertain themselves, and this fitted the bill.
The pool is large and in a lovely spot with an uninterrupted view; the garden includes beautiful trees and room for the kids to explore.
The house was generously supplied with essentials, and we really appreciated the wine on arrival: I hope we left the store cupboard in good shape. Your neighbour kindly gave us some of her organic tomatoes on the first day: we bought more during the week, and eggs too.
It was easy to find the house with the directions provided (we didn't have satnav, but this wasn't a problem). The owners were helpful in answering any questions we had about wifi etc.
There are plenty of options for shopping in Lavaur: we only made use of the Super-U and Intermarche but there is plenty of information about other options. The 15th of August was a public holiday, which we didn't know, but the Intermarche was open that day anyway.
We don't tend to take many trips with the children in tow, especially as the garden and pool were so good. However, we did visit Albi, with its impressive cathedral and the Toulouse Lautrec gallery. Nearby, Giroussens has a pretty view over the Agout, and also an interesting ceramic art gallery. On our way home we had a day in Toulouse, and would thoroughly recommend the natural history museum, which the children described as "epic"!
