Luxury villa in South West France – La Vallee

Set amongst one of the sleekest landscapes on our planet, the villa La Vallee in South West France is at one with its surroundings, radiating a sense of extravagance and bucolic simplicity simultaneously.

La Vallee

The high vaulted ceiling gives a feeling of history, grandeur and the raw stone walls and bare wooden floors add to the feeling that you are staying in a place with stories to tell.

Luxury villa in South West France, La Vallee has been recently added to the impressive Vintage Travel orchestra of villas, which is available to rent for that exceptional holiday of a lifetime. La Vallee has four en-suite bedrooms and officially sleeps eight. The bedrooms are beautifully turned out, tastefully in-keeping with the bygone feel of the house.

Although it has to be said that it is La Vallee’s upper floor, which is king in the house. A lounge and TV room are to be enjoyed under a magnificent vaulted ceiling. There are French doors at the gable end, which leads onto a sun terrace commanding unsurpassed views over the Aveyron Valley. Peace and tranquillity smother you up and allow your spirit to soar. The land is heavenly and all your troubles and pressures become something of a distant past.

Of course the luxury villa in South West France comes with all the usual mod cons, including a utility room for the laundry and a telephone for local and incoming calls.

The grounds outside La Vallee are ample, well-kept and utterly delightful. There is a large heated swimming pool with Roman steps, lined by fragrant lavender bushes, its crystal clear water providing a luxurious place to gaze over mile upon mile of an undulating and verdant French landscape.  All in all there are 1.6 hectares of land for visitors of La Vallee to play around in.

The nearby town of Najac is hailed by some as one of the prettiest villages in France. There is a medieval castle at the town’s high point. Romantic and picturesque, the castle conjures up thoughts of knights, jousting, black horses and damsels without distress!

Several of the restaurants in Najac are highly esteemed and have been awarded with the ‘Bib Gourmand’ honour, a designation that denotes great cuisine at reasonable prices.

Or if you’d prefer to stay closer to home then enjoying a barbecue in La Vallee’s stunning grounds would be surpassed by little. There are no cheap distractions here, no cacophony of noise, only Mother Nature at its utmost best.
