Become one with nature in this natural cottage! This idyllic cottage is furnished for two people in a romantic setting. It has electricity, running water, a shower and toilet, a double bed or two single beds and a kitchenette. It is located in a meadow above a small path, 150 meters from the river and 100 meters from the parking lot above. The varied nature and differences in altitude make this part of the valley in the south of France a dream location for vacations, swimming and hiking. The river running over rocky outcrops with waterfalls and a natural swimming pool give the property a fairytale atmosphere, and you can also enjoy the meeting room with dance floor, colorful terrace and board games. The estate is not suitable for children. Guests are required to leave the cottage clean. Failure to do so will result in a cleaning charge.

Nature and surroundings

This self-catering cottage is located in Aveyron, in the south of France. This region is not well known to peace-lovers and holidaymakers alike, and is often depicted on tourist maps as an empty plot of land, as if there were nothing there. In fact, the opposite is true. The mountainous landscape with its clear streams, old chestnut forests and rounded hills is still largely unspoilt. The verdant valley lies within the "Grands Causses" nature reserve, through which meanders the river Tarn with its many tributaries. The estate lies at an altitude of 300 meters in the Tarn valley, just a few kilometers from villages with restaurants and stores. 60 kilometers away, you'll find Millau, with the world's highest viaduct, and the 'Gorges du Tarn'. The medieval town of Albi (home of the Cathars), with its old red-brick center, imposing cathedral and Toulous Lautrec museum, is 40 kilometers away. In the surrounding area, you'll find picturesque villages with castles, artists' villages, signposted footpaths and lakes and rivers for canoeing and kayaking. The owners have no fewer than 50 homemade day trips in the area for you. The Tarn valley offers many opportunities for hiking, swimming, fishing and fly-fishing.

    What a beautiful place. Greenery, birds singing, including tawny owls, and a rushing stream. Our cottage was simple, but pleasant. From the comfortable bed we had a view of the hill across the street. Outside you could sit comfortably, on garden chair or lounger. Evenings in the shade, nice when it is very hot. The owners are very nice and helpful. In short, for people who love peace and nature and who are not looking for the luxury of a four-star hotel, it is a unique place. We would love to come back again.

    The value for money is not quite right. The cottage is simple and in need of maintenance (especially on the outside). The wifi (at the main house) didn't work much, if at all (fortunately, these days with 4G and extended data bundles, that's not such a problem). The price is too high for what is delivered.

    In terms of tranquility and location, the cottage completely met expectations. Beautiful area, totally not touristy. Lovely hiking and cycling (E-bikes for rent at Magnolia Bike in Plaisance). The cottage is simple but with all the trimmings. The photo on the site suggests an open view, however, by now there is a large butterfly bush right in front of the cottage, which together with the tall growing ferns created a green wall in front of the window. With the owner's permission, I was able to prune away much of it, allowing for more views and bringing in more light/sun. Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperating so we spent a lot of time inside and were happy with this intervention. The cottage (Cunita) is on the southeast side of the hill, so no afternoon/evening sun, which we found unfortunate. The owners, a young couple Adelie and Jeremy, are very nice and very helpful. All in all, despite the chilly weather (mid-June) we had a wonderful week!
