About the host
Hosted by Deborah Mechaneck

We have owned this wonderful house in France now for almost 9 years and whilst we plan to use the house ourselves, we are keen to rent it out as well.
The owners are a couple who live in the UK and the sister of one of the owners who lives in New York City. We bought the house from a British couple who owned it for over 15 years. We hope to make the home as comfortable for you as it is for us and to provide you with everything you need while on holiday.

Why they chose this property
We were just sitting down to have breakfast one morning while staying with some friends who have a house in Cordes-sur-Ciel in July, 2014. Our friend had gone to pick up some croissants and came back, announcing that he had just seen a beautiful house advertised in an estate agent's window. Next thing we knew, we had arranged to see the house and two days later, we put in an offer.
We absolutely love the house and the region, with its fields of sunflowers and vineyards. The people are so friendly and the markets are amazing. A truly wonderful part of France.

What makes this property unique
The house is very easy to get to, being just 45 minutes drive from Toulouse airport. It's in a beautiful, quiet little village but is only 3km from Cahuzac-sur-Vere where you can buy all necessities; only 15 minutes from Gaillac and 20 minutes from the historic city of Albi.
There is so much to do in the region - walking, cycling, canoeing, sightseeing (historic cave paintings), browsing through the antique shops and wonderful markets. On the other hand, the house offers all of the comforts of home with a private pool, WiFi, Netflix and all the things you might feel you can't live without while on holiday.
