About this house rental

Our gîte is set within the flower filled courtyard of a Maison de Maitre in Albas, an old and beautiful village set high up on the banks of the Lot. The gîte was originally a barn so there are beams in the bedrooms and plenty of exposed stone walls to give the interior a warm and relaxed atmosphere. In addition to the courtyard there is a large, secluded, south facing garden with splendid views over the rooftops towards the river.

The entrance to the gîte is through the courtyard into a large kitchen/living area with tiled floors and plenty of exposed stone. The two large glass doors that form the entrance can be opened fully so that the courtyard becomes an extension of the living area. To the rear of this large room there are stairs leading up to a sitting room with two sofas, two chairs and a tv. Off the sitting room are the three bedrooms with exposed beams and stone walls, a separate toilet and a bathroom with separate shower.

• A large kitchen/living space
• An upstairs sitting room.
• Two large double bedrooms (both with a double bed) and one smaller bedroom with twin beds.
• A bathroom with a full size bath and a shower.
• A toilet.
• Wifi & Freeview TV.

The gîte will comfortably sleep 6 people. Meals "al fresco" can be enjoyed in the courtyard or in the garden. There is also a barbecue. Amenities in the kitchen include a gas hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge-freezer and washing machine. The kitchen is equipped with all you are likely to need to cook the delicious produce you have bought in the local markets. Please note that access to the main house is also via the courtyard but the two properties are some distance apart and the area close to the gîte is screened off and for the exclusive use of guests. Guests also have use of the large garden (shared with the owners) which can be accessed via a number of steps from the courtyard.

Bedding (to include pillows, duvets, sheets, duvet covers, pillow slips etc.) and towels for use in the house are provided.

In the summer the village offers three places to eat. The Guinguette d'Albas with views over the river offers casual dining with regular live music nights and DJ sets through the summer months. La Rose & Le Réséda is set in the medieval heart of the village where meals are eaten outside in good weather. The third is a bar in the village which provides meals in the summer and where it is also possible to order bread. There is also Bonjour Epicerie where it is possible to buy groceries and a selection of fresh food. Finally the village has its own 'beach', where it is possible to swim in the river Lot.

The village festival with four nights of music Friday to Monday is the first weekend in August. Guests are very welcome to take part in the festival but please note that you may experience some noise from it.

Wonderful house full of character, with a sunny courtyard and garden for al fresco dining (though you'll need mosquito repellent!). Albas is an amazingly beautiful village perched high above the River Lot. There's a lovely swimming spot within walking distance. No boulangerie in the village, sadly, but there's a small epicerie and you can order bread for the next day from the bar in the square. Would definitely come back - thank you!

The gite worked well for us and was very functional. It had access to a lovely garden and a lovely outside area with bbq. Really nice place.

La Grange was excellently as advertised. Loved the big kitchen table and woodstove as it was single digits in early April. It was very handy having Sue's attendant Adrian close by when we had a question with the heating system. The upstairs lounge was very comfortable and English TV was a nice surprise. Out bed was very comfortable, and we appreciated having two sinks in the bathroom. We found Albas to be a good location.
