This house is situated in the very heart of Gaillac, a cute little town that is not only a gem per se, but can also be a perfect place to stay if you consider exploring various places around Toulouse. From there, one can drive to such important landmarks as e.g. Rocamadour, St. Cirq-Lapopie, the Dordogne river valley and other places included in the list of the most beautiful villages in France (les plus beaux villages de France). The city of Carcassonne, as well as the Mediterranean coast are not too far from there either. The house is rather old, however, it provides you with a marvelous flair of bygone days. The kitchen is well equipped, so don’t hesitate to take advantage of the local farmer’s market held next door and make a delicious meal at home – the house’s lovely terrace is perfect for that ;)

The main drawback is the lack of air conditioning in the house. This is worth mentioning, even though we understand it may not be easy to install the A/C system into such an old building; nevertheless, due to crazy summer temperatures (ca. +40C), you have to keep the windows sealed until late evening which unfortunately leads to stale air. Fans are provided but they make little to no difference. Toiletries were also missing, so we had to stop by the supermarket and grab some ourselves. Additionally, we got under the impression the property hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned for some time, so if you are allergic to dust, there might be an issue too.

We rented the house for one week. Ideal location for visiting the region of Tarn. The house (the tower) is really grande (300 m), nice decorated, with 2 living rooms and 3 bedrooms decorated in style 18th century. You have an impression to be in your own castle.

The bathrooms could be more moderne
