In the Tarn countryside, a haven of peace perched on a hillside is hidden away: L'Écrin du Puech. Its picturesque façade is in perfect harmony with its architecture and interior design.
In the morning, gather with your family on the terrace and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee or tea, while enjoying the splendid view of the fields and woods surrounding the house. After breakfast, stroll among the fruit trees or the 2 hectares of woodland (partially passable), and if you're lucky and know how to stay discreet, you might even spot some deer! Then why not head to the Arifat waterfalls, 80 meters high, shaped by the stream? The village of Ambialet, located in the middle of a bend in the Tarn River, offers spectacular views. Grandval Castle, Bancalié Lake and its trail that follows the contours of the lake in a unique and wild setting. Don't forget the episcopal city of Albi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its famous Sainte Cécile Cathedral.
After your adventures, enjoy a moment of peace and quiet by the heated pool or swim a few laps, relax in the spa, or treat yourself to a fitness session in the gym. In the evening, spice up your pre-dinner drinks with a game of pétanque while enjoying the extraordinary architecture that surrounds you.
As an option and upon request, you can book a massage session with a certified professional, voted best apprentice in Midi-Pyrénées.
For lovers of motorcycles and wind-blown rides, we offer rentals of the legendary Royal Enfield 500.
L'Écrin du Puech will delight you with its peaceful location, just 2 km from Teillet, a charming little village with all nearby amenities.
