La Merise Gite

Private holiday rental, Villefranche d'Albigeois

Sleeps 4 - 6, with heated pool

La Merise is a private holiday rental, just outside the village of Villefranche d'Albigeois, 20 minutes drive from Albi and an hour away from Toulouse.

This beautifully peaceful converted barn in the heart of the Tarn countryside comes complete with a private heated pool and sun terrace. The pool is normally heated from May to October. Close to local markets for fresh produce, this is the perfect spot for an idyllic experience of rural France.

Reserve early for July and August, as it gets very busy. May and June are lovely months, and it's normally hot in September and still warm in October. Cyclists and walkers are welcome, and it's a great area for mountain bike (VTT) and walking, with many trails including the GR 36.

Now with electric vehicle charging station, 7 kw. Included in the price

The Local Area

The local village is within walking distance where you will find all amenities, including a small but very well-stocked supermarket, boucherie, boulangerie, and a bar/restaurant. There are plenty of places to explore nearby, including Albi, Castres, Cordes sur Ciel and Gaillac. The local area is teaming with wildlife too.

The Owners

We're Pippa and Marcus Evans. We moved to France from the South of England in November 2016. We spent the first year here renovating parts of the main building and adding a pool for our guests. Since then, we've explored much of the wider area and local restaurants together and with friends and family and will happily provide recommendations of places to visits, things to see and places to eat.

We live on site with two labradors. Marcus is a French speaker with a passion for cooking and Pippa runs her own business as a Virtual PA and is enjoying countryside living.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about staying at La Merise or want to know more about the area.
