Super comfy and relaxing, this very old château has grand rooms, games for all, magnificent views – and a saltwater pool in the grounds

Read guest comments

Up and up the long, sinuous, narrow country lane… to discover a pocketful of houses, a big ancient manoir, and views that sail over villages and valleys as far as the eye can see; the panorama is astounding. Inside is enticingly comfy – and homely, in spite of the impressive dimensions. Staircases are wide and extend over two floors. You get a big well-equipped kitchen downstairs with a chequerboard floor, a Tudor-style dining room with a tapestry and a solid oak table, a big beamed and sofa'd sitting room with a wood-burner, and a fun 'snug' on the landing – table football, TV, sofa, and a hammock slung from the beams. There are seven bedrooms, three bathrooms and each and every one is different: a magnificent carved four-poster here, exposed stonework there, a grand armoire, a bright zig-zag duvet, and fabulous vaulted caves. It's tailormade for families and perfect for summer, with parkland to roam and garden steps (steep) down to terraces and saltwater pool. As for the area of Quercy (distinguished by the river Lot), it's foodie heaven, rich in restaurants, auberges and markets glistening with produce.

Guest feedback
"We organised a family reunion, spanning three generations, at Calvayrac - and we absolutely loved it. It is a gorgeous and comfortable house, very well equipped, on equally stunning grounds. The pool is wonderful (non-chlorinated, just a saline system to clean it). There's a forest beyond it with mature plum trees; the children collected the fruit and we made delicious jam. We visited different fresh fruit, veg, bread, etc markets every day - the choice and quality of the produce was unbelievable. We only stayed for 2 weeks but wished we had had the time for more. A relaxing magical place!"
