About this house rental
The Domaine de Bertalay – A Haven of Authenticity in the Heart of the Tarn
Welcome to Domaine de Bertalay, a characterful residence nestled in a peaceful setting, combining historic charm with modern comfort. Awarded 4-star Meublé de Tourisme status, this former 18th-century silk farm invites you to an exceptional getaway between Toulouse and Albi, in the heart of the Pays de Cocagne, known as the Little French Tuscany.
A Unique Place, Between Nature and Elegance
Behind its sandstone and red-brick walls, Domaine de Bertalay reveals a warm atmosphere where every detail has been designed to preserve its authenticity: terracotta floors, old parquet, period furniture, and sunlit spaces.
Outside, enjoy a 5,000 m² garden, dotted with fruit trees and cozy spots for relaxation: shaded terraces, sun loungers, and convivial tables. The emerald-green private pool promises refreshing swims under the Tarn sunshine or beneath the stars. The large terrace with an Italian-style balcony offers a breathtaking view of the plains and is perfect for al fresco dining and long summer evenings.
A Comfortable and Refined Interior
The house, spacious and naturally cool even in the height of summer, is organized around two large central hallways, distributing rooms across two levels:
Ground Floor:
• A vast 60 m² living area with an open kitchen fully equipped: a 7-burner cooking range, wood-fired oven, two classic ovens, and a culinary library of 200 books.
• A convivial dining room with a large 2.2-meter table.
• An intimate lounge, equipped with a grand piano, a smart TV, and a collection of films.
• The Andalusian Room, with a private bathroom and independent access to the garden.
Upstairs:
• The Modiste Room (30 m²) with a private bathroom.
• The Portrait Room, facing south, with a double bed, a single bed, and a connecting bathroom.
• The Bird Room, bright and airy, with a private bathroom.
• The Butterfly Room, smaller, with a connecting bathroom.
• A large library for children and adults.
A Stay in Complete Serenity
Here, you are at home: full access to the house, the garden, and the private pool. Musicians can enjoy the grand piano and a rich collection of sheet music. Pets are welcome.
Located in a peaceful hamlet, the estate is just 3 km from Lavaur and its shops. 100 meters away, the Bertalay Bakery will delight you with its wood-fired bread and pastries.
Discover the Surroundings
• The Bastides of the Tarn: Cordes-sur-Ciel, Puycelsi, Castelnau-de-Montmiral.
• The Gaillac vineyards, one of the oldest in France.
• The forests of Sivens and Grésigne, ideal for hiking.
• Albi, a UNESCO-listed episcopal city, 30 minutes away.
• Toulouse, the Pink City, 40 minutes away.
• Carcassonne and its medieval citadel, 1.5 hours away.
• Further afield, explore the Mediterranean coast or the Pyrenees, perfect for a day trip.
A Warm and Personalized Welcome
We are passionate about music and cinema, and this house is above all our primary residence, a vibrant and inspiring place that we are delighted to share. We will personally welcome you upon arrival and remain available throughout your stay for any assistance you may need.
Treat yourself to a unique experience at Domaine de Bertalay: an exceptional setting, an immersion in the history and art of living of Southwest France, and unforgettable moments in complete serenity.
We look forward to hosting you!

The property is a beautiful, spacious house which, despite its grandeur, feels like a home. Everything was immaculately clean and the facilities had everything that we needed, as a family group of eight. We loved the access to a piano for the musicians among us, made much use of the table tennis table, and also spent many happy hours in the swimming pool, which is a generous size in a lovely tree-shaded spot in the garden. The grounds surrounding the house are amazing with ample places to sit and relax. Thank you so much to the hosts for their warm welcome and for sharing their house with us!

The only problem with staying at this property is nowhere else will seem as good!
The house is as perfect as the garden. Each bedroom and bathroom tastefully decorated. The pool and surrounding area is stunning. It is completely enclosed so safe for children and pets. The owners were extremely helpful and unobtrusive.
The bakery a couple of doors down (open weekends) is fantastic and there are many beautiful towns within an hours drive.
If you choose this house you will not be disappointed!

We had a wonderful two week stay in this beautiful house and garden. The house, garden and kitchen have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Specifically the kitchen has all the equipment you could wish for. There is a lovely outside area with two bbq’s with a large table and cozy garden lights. The pool is big and self-cleaning, with a lot of space to sunbathe or relax in the shade. The house itself has 4 large perfect and with taste decorated bedrooms and one smaller bedroom. All beds are double, there is one big room with an extra single bed next to the double bed. Everything is a lot more beautiful than what you can see on the pictures.
There is a boulangerie 5 min drive and on Saturday and Wednesday there is lovely market in Lavaur. We also had a tasty meal at chez John, make sure to sit outside, because inside is not so cozy.
We had lovely stay, thank you very much Marylene and Pierre for the hospitality!
