Delightful private farmhouse + barn, with pool and garden

Bacquiès is the name of the property. It includes accommodation across both a restored farmhouse and barn, together with garden, games room and outdoor heated pool. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms (plus separate, third toilet), the farmhouse comfortably sleeps eight people; a further four (two adults; two children) can sleep in the converted barn, which provides two bedrooms (main on ground; kids in attic room) and one bathroom. (If you want, you are able to rent private use of just the farmhouse, pool and grounds without the using the barn building - see our separate listing or contact the owner for more details.) Both buildings are well equipped with a kitchen and dining/living area. Surrounded by farmland and around an easy hour's drive from Toulouse airport, Bacquiès is ideal for a holiday any time of the year. The property has great rustic appeal and we love it. The area is known for its green rolling landscape and rivers flowing through spectacular gorges. It is loved by anyone who enjoys walking, cycling, fishing, canoeing and exploring. There are fortified villages and castles to investigate, bustling markets and local fêtes to explore, or you can just simply relax. Wine lovers will be spoilt by the number of vineyards within easy access. The property is about 1km outside Septfonds, in the Tarn-et-Garonne (Midi-Pyrenees region) in the south-west of France. Septfonds is a large village with key amenities, such as butcher, baker, supermarket, petrol, restaurants etc. Nearby attractions include Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, a short drive (13km) from the farmhouse. St. Antonin is a medieval town close to the Gorges de l'Aveyron. Its narrow streets and old buildings are great for exploring, and the historic market place is perfect for a meal or beer - on market days it turns into a busy and exciting place selling wonderful produce from across the region. When you want to simply relax at the property, there is a good sized heated outdoor pool (9mx6m), plus a games room with table tennis. The garden offers numerous areas for al fresco dining in a lovely setting, and there is a gas barbeque for cooking.
