★★★ UNIQUE: a house with a one-of-a-kind charm, featuring a swimming pool ★★★

-----------------------------<br>A CHARMING HOUSE with a pool and terrace in a beautiful region…<br>-----------------------------<br><br>“L’Oasis Occitan” promises unforgettable moments with your loved ones! Grill on the pleasant terrace, lounge by the pool, host a MOVIE NIGHT in the living room, or prepare regional specialities in the fully equipped kitchen: now that’s a tempting holiday itinerary...<br><br>Its location makes it the IDEAL STARTING POINT for hiking, visiting the charming medieval town of Figeac, or exploring some of France’s most beautiful villages. There are no fewer than five of them within an hour’s drive. Between Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Autoire, Loubressac, Capdenac-le-Haut, and Cardaillac, you’ll be spoiled for choice!<br><br>After a great day of WALKING, cultural visits, or swimming, you can continue to enjoy the region’s attractions by UNWINDING with a drink or a delicious local dish in Figeac’s bars and restaurants, since “L’Oasis Occitan” is close to city centre. <br><br>Perhaps you’ll choose to unwind on the lounge chairs with a cocktail in hand, while the kids PLAY IN THE OUTDOOR POOL. One thing is certain: in this well-equipped, functional, charming, and welcoming rental, you’ll want for nothing!<br><br>-----------------------------<br>LET YOURSELF BE CHARMED by this cosy getaway with its unique charm…<br>-----------------------------<br><br>■ Let’s take a quick guided tour of the property… just so you know what to expect. Upon arrival, you can park your car inside the property, which is SECURED by an electric gate and fully fenced. See that little box near the gate? It’s the key box that unlocks the doors to “L’Oasis Occitan”—very convenient for independent check-in and check-out.<br><br>■ To enter the house, climb a few steps and cross the covered patio before going through the front door. Upon entering, you’ll find yourself in the COZY LIVING ROOM, which features a dining table for 4 people.<br><br>■ To the right, in the charming kitchen—which features a bar and was renovated in 2020—you’ll find EVERYTHING YOU NEED to cook with family or friends, such as the famous Pescajounes, those large, thick crepes native to the Quercy region. <br><br>■ The wide selection of pots, pans, and cooking utensils (rolling pin, scale, etc.) ensures that your culinary creations and discoveries at “L’Oasis Occitan” are limited only by your imagination! ALL THE NECESSARY appliances are provided: a glass-ceramic hob, a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, a mini-oven, a microwave, a toaster, an espresso machine… Nothing is missing—it’s even equipped with a WASHING MACHINE, which will come in handy.<br><br>■ Once you’ve passed through the living room and kitchen, on the landing, you have the choice of going up to the mezzanine bedroom or down to the living room and bathroom… Let’s head downstairs. Once you reach the lower level (which is actually the ground floor, since the entrance is directly on the ground floor), you’ll find yourself in the welcoming and VERY BRIGHT living room, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the vineyard outside.<br><br>■ The warm colours of the room and the COMFORT of the sofa invite you to relax, especially since this is also where you’ll find the flat-screen TV with an internet box, offering a wide selection of French and international channels!<br><br>■ Whether you want to read, play games, stay in touch with loved ones, or post your holiday photos on social media, FREE UNLIMITED WIFI is available throughout the entire apartment, and power strips and extension cords are provided so you can easily charge your devices. The blue sofa in the living room is a sofa bed and can be converted into a bed if the upstairs bedroom isn’t enough. <br><br>■ Next to the living room, the bathroom with a toilet, walk-in shower, and sink is ready for you to UNWIND after a nice walk. Plus, at “L’Oasis Occitan,” bath towels and sheets are provided—so you can travel with peace of mind!<br><br>■ Upstairs, the loft bedroom is a COSY

Fun with Insectes (French House Centipede Learnings)It’s not every holiday that you get to learn about local entomology. The house centipede my wife found was crawling away from the humid bathroom area after the rest of us were asleep. The house centipede envenomates its prey with mild venom and small organs of envenomation causing paralysis.Good news for the wife was this centipede’s bark - it is quite scary looking with very long legs (Up to 15 pairs) - is bigger than its bite [for a human at least]. It rarely bites humans, preferring to flee. When it does bite a person it rarely breaks the skin and at most causes irritation and mild swelling. House centipedes live anywhere from 3 - 7 years, but this one didn’t make it past its first encounter with my wife. While the centipede didn’t suffer from bad dreams that evening, my wife sure did. Bleery eyed she awoke the next day with tales of the centipede, scooping up leg specimens, el squisho, she scraped from the floor to inspect. This was only the most interesting of bugs we encountered.When we asked if we could cancel any part of our 4 night stay because of the bugs and other problems, we were told the bugs were not mosquitoes and they could provide a UV-bulb to thwart these pests. Biggest issue was the pool & property impression based on the pics. The “Property Grounds” picture in the listing crops out the proximity of the residence with cars and playground equipment directly attached to the property.

Ce logement est destiné aux personnes plutôt jeunes et alertes.Le logement n'est pas adapté aux séniors qui auraient des difficultés à la marche ou à l'équilibre, ce qui était mon cas. Il est vrai que si de nombreuses précisions sont données, il serait très souhaitable d'ajouter et d'insister sur le fait que ledit logement n'est pas adapté aux handicaps si légers soient-ils compte-tenu des nombreuses marches et niveaux et d'un éclairage insuffisant. La photo avec piscine est alléchante et le logement est bien dit atypique c'est vrai mais ne reflète pas la généralité du logement.Bien entendu les propriétaires sont sûrement très sympathiques et je ne réclame rien et ne poserai aucun problème à qui que ce soit. Pour moi les choses s'arrêtent là mais je préfère dire les choses honnêtement à ABRITEL responsable des locations à qui j'ai loué plutôt que d'inscrire n'importe quoi sur un livre d'or.J'ajoute que je suis une personne responsable, loin des enquiquineurs que l'on rencontre parfois.Patrice DELETANG

Le gîte ne correspond pas au descriptif, sale, beaucoup de malfaçons (mousses isolantes apparentes, tapisserie qui se décolle, hotte qui donne sur le lit mezzanine...), d'inconfort (manque ou pas d'éclairage, banc fixé au , porte du four cassée, etc...) , de vétusté, aucun entretien extérieur, piscine bâchée, tour de piscine pas entretenu ( nous n'avons eu aucune envie de nous y baigner); le prix du coup est excessif et les photos trompeuses.Nous avons rapidement pris contact avec le propriétaire, qui nous a répondu que son état des lieux était indicatif mais ne nous a rien proposé, ne serait-ce que de changer les ampoules par exemple.

Très bon accueil. Propriétaires discrets. Batterie de cuisine bien constituée. Très belle région que nous redécouvert avec grand plaisir.Quelques déceptions par rapport à l' annonce.Logement inadapté à des seniors, espace jardin peu agreable, la vue de la petite terrasse est conforme s' il n' y avait pas les voitures et jouets d'enfant.

Séjour calme et ensoleillé

Maison qui correspond à 100% au très bon descriptif de l’annonce. Le propriétaire est très à l’écoute et super réactif. La maison est mignonne et très originale. Attention comme il est bien précisé dans l’annonce ne convient pas du tout aux jeunes enfants vis à vis des nombreux escaliers. Au delà de ça la maison est bien située et proche du centre de figeac qui est une ville charmante et belle a découvrir. Le must dans tout cela: les draps fait à l’arrivée et serviettes fournies! Merci encore c’est génial ! C’est une adresse à garder précieusement car il y a beaucoup de choses à faire aux alentours. Merci pour votre accueil et sympathie. Morgane et sa petite famille ☺️

Logement agréable

Nous avons passé une semaine à l'oasis Occitan ensoleillée, l'accès à la piscine a été très apprécié... Hôtes très accueillants. Logement atypique par sa configuration mais très agréable
