Luxury villa in La Fouillade – Villa La Serenite
Villa La Serenite, La Fouillade, South West France – Possibly the most perfect place for serving Coq au Vin! With its huge stone walls, wooden shutters and low exposed beams conjuring up visions of plates of Cassoulet and Coq au Vin, it is safe to say that the stunning villa of La Serenite is designed within an unpretentious French farmhouse style.
One of the first things that you notice about this luxury villa in La Fouillade is the lovingly restored bare walls and the high pitch roof. The naturalism of the villa is wholly in-keeping with the area it resides, a particularly idyllic rural location close to the village of La Fouillade not far from Najac in South West France.
The house can sleep up to eight guests and has four spacious bedrooms on two separate floors, each having its own en-suite facilities and each very different to the next. The downstairs double bedroom has direct access to the pool terrace.
The lounge is as cosy as you could hope to find and comes equipped with a wood burner for those chilly out of season nights. La Serenite is loaded with character and fits effortlessly and naturally into its habitat, a great trait of the people responsible for restoring this magnificent house.
With its lavender lined lawns, walnut and ash trees set in 2-acres of prime, lush French countryside for a garden, spectacular views in an unspoilt part of Europe, a stay at this luxury villa in La Fouillard is what anyone would wish for from a holiday rental. The pool is ample in size and has some much-needed shade for the high summertime when temperatures can soar in this part of France.
With a climate this enviable and scenery so stunning, wining and dining outside is simply a must at La Serenite and there is a covered outdoor dining area for those perfect evenings at home.
Dragging yourself and your party away from accommodation this cosy and inspiring may be difficult but given what lies upon La Serenite’s doorstep, venturing further a field than the villa’s grounds is certainly recommended.
Quirky and interesting cafes and shops can be explored in La Fouillade, which is just 3km from the villa. For a livelier day or night out Najac is just 6km away, which has been described as being one of the most picturesque ‘bastides’ in France.
Asides the top-notch restaurants and buoyant Sunday market, the Chateau Najac is a highlight of the town. Built in 1253, this majestic site is in a breathtaking position high above the village. In 1925, Chateau Najaz was declared a ‘monument historique.’
