About this property

Saint Laurent is an ideal place for a holiday away from Covid-19 and from the city.
We enjoy 27 hectares (66 acres) of private land.
We are at the end of a cul-de-sac so there is no passing traffic.
Our apartments have independent access, which makes social distancing easy.
They have fast wifi, a comfortable workspace and are suitable for children.
Geoff and Penny are retired health professionals.

This first-floor, self-contained, 62 sq m apartment is part of a large, beautifully-restored farm house. Huge garden and staggering panoramic views of the Pyrenees, but close to a medieval village and only a few minutes from the A64 motorway.

The apartment is for your own private use, and although the owners reside at the property, there is no interaction unless you wish it. You can enjoy, by invitation, the common areas of the house, which include a large salon and balcony. In the salon there is a Kawai grand piano.

Guests have access to the extensive grounds, and there are many established walks in the area.

It is advisable to have your own transport. There is plenty of free private parking.

About the host

Hosted by Geoffrey Douglas

Geoff Douglas is a retired physician. He was born in London, grew up in Zambia, schooled in Zimbabwe and read medicine at Oxford. He worked for 35 years in Swaziland, where he founded a managed health care organisation. As a holistic practitioner, Geoff has developed his interest and awareness of the significant role nutrition can and should play in health. He now lives with his wife, Penny, on the farm - Saint Laurent - in France, where they practise permaculture. Geoff has written a novel - The Rattle of Seeds - and a fascinating memoir - Life is a Fatal Illness.

Why they chose this property

Breath-taking views, a rich cultural heritage, meandering rivers and canals, winding roads and quality local produce all conspire to make Saint Laurent an unforgettable rural experience. Here you can get away from it all, but if you want some action, you do not have to travel far to find it.

What makes this property unique

Toulouse (40 mins) and Albi, Carcassonne and Lourdes (all 90 mins) are within easy reach by car.

Our property has other rentable space (e.g. 'Rural Tranquility near Toulouse' and 'Ideal Family Space on the Via Garona'), if your party is larger. We can accommodate up to 12 people for a family get-together..
