This large, beautifully presented gite in an exceptionally pretty stone house ("to die for" according to visitors) was once a blacksmith's home and workplace. It is set in a tranquil village 4 kms from the stunningly beautiful 13thC bastide town of Cordes-sur-Ciel, today also a thriving artistic community. Without doubt this is one of the loveliest and most interesting areas of France. 
 
The spacious accommodation, comprising the entire self-contained ground floor of a film director's home, has two double bedrooms and one single. One double room is extremely large with a gorgeous view of the front patio and gardens; the second looks onto a private rear terrace; the single bedroom is accessed from the salon or the very large reception hall, off which are a separate w.c. and a bath/shower room. The spacious salon, with a terrace at each end, has a tiled kitchen (with double sinks, gas & electric cookers, microwave, washing machine, fridge, freezer, dishwasher), plus an attractive dining area, and a sitting area with two sofas, comfortable armchairs and a large stone fireplace. Original tiled floors and beams. The house has a romantic French-style front patio, featuring low box hedges and pot plants with tables and chairs, plus a large garden, with table and seating, that includes shrubs, flowers, stunning English roses and a shaded patio area. Additional garden furniture available. 
WHAT GUESTS SAY:- 
"If this were my home I'd never leave." 
“I’ve been holidaying in France for decades, yet I’ve never felt so French as when sitting on the patio here in the evening watching the sun go down.” 
“Cordes is stunning. Although my friend is very much a world-traveller, she kept stopping and looking around, saying ‘It’s so beautiful I just can’t believe it’.” 
“We’ve stayed in a score or so of gites over the decades, but this is certainly one of the loveliest.” 
“The countryside is glorious. We enjoyed long walks every evening before dinner.” 
“There is so much to see in the area – we sample new places every time we visit.” 
"We love it so much - could we enquire about availablility for our sixth visit?"
