WE prolongé

ous avons passé un très bon week-end dans cette belle maison, située au calme dans un endroit paisible. Nous avons été très bien reçus et cet hébergement a vraiment répondu à nos attentes. Petit bémol : il nous est arrivé d’entendre parfois les conversations de nos voisins. Malgré cela, nous sommes très contents de ce moment passé à Empeaux

Séjour au calme

Séjour agréable et tranquille de quelques jours en ce long week-end ensoleillé de mai. Nous en avons profité pour visiter la ville très animée de Toulouse, quel plaisir de se retrouver en fin de journée dans ce havre de calme avec vue sur la chaine des Pyrénées. Merci à Julia et Bastiaan de nous avoir accueillis dans leur gite aménagé avec goût. Nous reviendrons surement pour un plus long séjour pour profiter pleinement de cette belle région.

Wonderful, Relaxing Holiday

We spent 2.5 weeks at this lovely property called En Doucet. Julia and Bastiaan are great hosts, very kind and helpful and go beyond what is expected. They have two teenage children who must be the most polite, respectful and quietest teenagers in the world! The gite itself is very rural - the nearest restaurants and shops are around 20 mins away so a car is essential. The gite is well equipped and has everything you need and the pool area is very relaxing with the pool itself being very cooling on a lovely hot day. If you can drag yourself away from the beautiful, peaceful gite and its surroundings, there are plenty of pretty villages and activities to do in this area. The nearby town of L'isle Jourdain has everything you need in the way of shopping, eating and relaxing. All in all, En Doucet is a lovely place to spend your holiday. We tend to try a different area of France every year but if we didn't do this we would definitely return to En Doucet.

Entspannung und Abwechslung in der französischen Provinz

Ländlich, erholsam und abwechslungsreich war unser einwöchiger Aufenthalt. Dank der Tipps der sympathischen Vermieter konnten wir mit unseren drei Kindern tolle Eindrücke sammeln: Tagesausflug nach Toulouse, ein Feuerwerk im Nachbarort und als Highlight eine Wanderung in den Pyrenäen (die Fahrtzeit zwei Stunden einfach hat sich gelohnt.) Zwischendrin haben wir uns am Haus und im Pool erholt. Die ironische Begrüßung "Welcome in the middle of nowhere" hat sich schnell relativiert. Wir sind sehr froh, dass wir diesen Abstecher in das ländliche Frankreich unternommen haben.

Beautiful old farm house with sunflower fields all around

We stayed for a 2 week holiday in this lovely house and the owners were very helpful. We were a family of two teenagers and a 1 year old Baby and the owners had supplied a highchair and travel cot which was very helpful. The house has internet and a swimming pool and a large trampoline with swings which kept the older kids happy. The house is clean and well looked after. The owners couldn't have been more helpful, such a lovely family. The house is about 10 minutes drive from the nearest shops so car is required. Would definitely recommend this holiday home.

Splendid isolation within easy reach of Toulouse

The property is an annex of the owner's own home although it manages to feel seperate and private. Julia and Bastian were there when we needed them (reconnecting the intermittent wifi) but not obvious otherwise - perfect landlords!

Everything you expect in a Gite!

A very nice old gite (adjoining owners house) with modern kitchen facilities, lovely pool and good Wi-Fi. If you want peace and tranquility this is for you. Although part of a working farm there is absolutely no noise or smell, it's not that sort of farm! The owners Julia and Bas are a delightful couple and not at all intrusive, nothing is too much trouble for them. Julia even loaned me her Satnav when we got lost finding our way back from Toulouse so that the next time we went to Toulouse we had no problem going staight back to the Gite. We only stayed for 5 nights and wished it had been longer and will definately return. I have already ordered my own Satnav from Amazon.The pool is excellent with sunbeds and they also have hammocks under the trees in a shaded area next to the pool. Traditional shops and supermarkets are only 10-15 minutes away on quiet roads through nice countryside, don't rush, you're en vacance! We recommend this Gite, you will not be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Julia & Bastiaan van Griensven

Host profile image
We ( Julia and Bastiaan) moved from the UK to France in 2010. Bastiaan works in the aerospace industry in Toulouse and Julia is a former BBC journalist. Having grown up in rural settings in the UK and the Netherlands we bought this old farmhouse in 2015 to get back to our roots but keep a connection to city life.

Why they chose this property

The gite is in a very quiet and rural setting and gives an immediate sense of being able to rest. There is plenty of shade under mature trees (important in this part of the world) and the pool provides opportunity to cool off. It is wonderful to be able to relax and for instance read surrounded only by the sounds of farmers looking after their land. But, for those who like it, it is possible to visit a beautiful big city within a 35 minutes drive. For us, this place provides the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Early in morning, on clear days a view of the pyrenees provides an instant sense of space and beauty. This may be repeated at sunset and, followed by a magnificent night sky.
