Tastefully restored traditional stone cottage France
Cottage in Midi Pyrenees, France
Property Details
Cap Del Mas nestles on the side of a hill with tranquil views overlooking the Lot River Valley, 12th century chateau Laroque-Toirac and our pretty stone village of Ambeyrac.
Accommadation includes two large bedrooms (1 twin, 1 double) and bathroom with exposed beams and stonework throughout. Downstairs is open plan with a spacious lounge with huge inglenook fireplace including log burner and radiators (ideal for cozy autumn/winter breaks). Stonework, wood and plaster all feature in the delightful kitchen/dining area with south facing window. From the patios you can enjoy the sunny southerly aspect and the magnificent views to the west across the Lot Valley - ideal for barbeques and generally relaxing!
From the house you can walk directly up the gravel lane that meanders up to the high limestone causes with tracks leading off in all directions or down through the village (which has a great small shop open daily with fresh bread!), through the fields of maize and tobacco on the valley floor, to the river.
Local Area DetailsBenefit from the warmth of the south west weather in stunning surroundings of valleys with rocky cliffs and colourful wild plateaux. The Lot valley is a paradise for walkers, road and mountain bike enthusiasts with walks and rides from the door. Ideally situated between many riverside market towns full of history and beautiful architecture.
Throughout the summer the area is bustling with different events including music festivals (eg Africajarc at the end of July), International Fireworks competion (half an hour away), village Fétes, brocantes and night markets. Activities nearby include canoeing on the célé, the Lot, the Tarn and the Aveyron rivers; swimming (public pools 10 miles, river swimming nearby);horse riding; biking (excellent mountain biking tracks all around); bird watching; visiting the prehistoric caves at Lacave, Pech Merle or Foissac and others; enjoying the local villages and colourfull markets; and of course visiting the better known hilltop and cliffside towns or Rocamadour, St Cirq Lapopie, Cordes Sur Ciel and Najac to name but a few. Plenty of local centres offer organised rock climbing and potholing in addition to the above activities.
