The house

  • Quiet, rural area with some agricultural activity

l'Oustal is a 'maison de maître', a mansion built in 1869, located near Le Riols in a small French hamlet. There are about ten houses, of which l'Oustal is the back one, with lovely views of the garden, hills and surrounding farmland from the bedrooms. The house has very thick walls, keeping the inside cool even in the summer heat. Besides the very spacious living room, l'Oustal has four spacious bedrooms, each about 26 m2. They are cosy and rustically decorated. Among other things, the windows and special details make the rooms attractive. Guests have their own sanitary facilities on the floors: a laundry room, a toilet room, a shower room and a bath. Next to the living room is space set aside for relaxation. There is a billiard table and a bookcase with magazines, books and information on the surrounding area. The living room and kitchen have simple luxuries combined with traditional elements. In the cool, large cellar there is room for your car, bicycles or motorbike. There are accessories for the gazebo, garden chairs and an extra garden kitchen with a large fridge. Great in summer for your fresh drinks. Through the cellar and garden kitchen you can walk straight to the garden and terrace.

You have access to a spacious garden with a terrace. About a hundred metres away, right behind the house, runs the river Aveyron. A nice place to walk to, to sit and muse or in summer to paddle or swim. The river is shallow all year round (not much deeper than 1 metre in summer), making it attractive for children to play in too.

    Heerlijk veel ruimte in huis en tuin in super-stille omgeving met dankzij bewoonde belendende percelen beetje gevoel van dorp. Veel bezienswaardige (Middeleeuwse/gezellige) stadjes/steden/tuinen etc. op afstanden van 5-40 km). Zwemmen in de rivier op 100 mtr afstand, maar beloofde strandje iets verderop was door hoge waterstand (veel regen en onweer gedurende aantal dagen, gelukkig 's nachts) overstroomd. Daardoor ook veel muggen. Niettemin zeker voor families/groepen robuust huis met 5 flinke kamers, 2 badkamers/douches. Aparte WC's. Tijdens ons verblijf op terras achter het huis een paar keer een hert in de tuin mogen aanschouwen. Vooral de stilte en acceptatie door de buren waren enorme pluspunten. Om echt bij te komen en elkaar niet in de weg te zitten absolute aanrader!

    Beste Claus, bedankt voor een fijne week vakantie in het landhuis L’Oustal. Ondanks dat het weer vaak koud en regenachtig was hebben we er heerlijk uit mogen rusten. Het huis is enorm en van alle gemakken voorzien. De tuin met achterin het riviertje zijn een oase van rust. De dagen dat het regende hebben we stadjes zoals Albi en Carcasson bezocht. Met goed weer hebben we de fietsroutes in de omgeving verkent. De stadjes Saint-Antonin Noble-Val, Cordes, Najac, Penne en Laguepie zijn prachtig. Op zondag was er in Saint Antonin een marktje met locale producten. Genoeg te doen!

    Hi Bram en Caroline, we hebben 2 weken heerlijk genoten van la douce France in L’Oustal.
    Jullie sfeervolle huis is van alle gemakken voorzien. Het is een combinatie van de uitstraling van een authentiek frans plattelands huis, dat daarnaast op een aantal delen voorzien is van modern opgeknapt en gerenoveerd sanitair (badkamers, douche, wc). Ook de al complete keuken heeft bij de tuin-ingang nog een handige uitbreiding gekregen.
    Hoewel de tuin al schaduwplekken en hangmat-bomen heeft, was de rivier langs de tuin wel erg lekker om af te koelen. Iets verder stroomopwaarts nog een lekker strandje voor de afwisseling. Lekker voor het poedelen in volstrekte rust. Top!!
    De omgeving was heerlijk om te fietsen, marktjes te (be)zoeken en terrasjes te pakken, en van sfeervolle plaatsjes te genieten. De bakker en eerste voorzieningen in Varen (kleine 10 minuutjes fietsen voor vers brood), restaurantjes in Verfeil (La seye et vous, gezellig lokaal frans/ lekker eten), Varen en Najak (erg mooi & hoog!!!) met zijn gorges.
    Markten in Laguepie en Saint Antonin zoals ze horen te zijn in Frankrijk.
    Alles fantastisch ook om te fietsen (relaxte tochtjes, die je als je zelf wil, ook sportief kan maken).
    Dank voor dit mooie plekje/adresje. Groetjes Perijn en Dick

Activities

l'Oustal is in an ideal location: in a perfectly quiet spot, with no traffic noise. At the same time, 2 kilometres away, in the cosy village of Varen, you can do all your daily shopping. There is a bakery, supermarket, post office and tourist office. There is also a beautiful thirteenth-century Romanesque church to visit and the town hall is located in a fifteenth-century castle. The region is a hiker's paradise. Hiking routes are waiting for you. Cycling routes are signposted, One of these routes even runs past the house. You can cool down in or by the Aveyron, which flows past the village. Le Riols is located in the Tarn, on the border of three departments: Aveyron to the north, Tarn-et-Garonne to the west and the Tarn to the south and east. All three of these departments offer great natural beauty, culture and many places of interest. Every art painter can indulge. Especially in spring and autumn, the light is perfect. In this region of the Cathars there are extraordinary castles and villages. The beautiful village of Cordes sur Ciel is 11 km from the holiday home.
