The Experience

Heaps to keep you busy! Swimming pool, table tennis, gym, bikes to borrow, sandy play area for football, boules, pétanque… and five acres of private woodland to wander. Surrounded by sunflower fields, woods and vineyards this traditional Tarn farmhouse – all soft white stone and pale shutters – feels remote, yet is 10 minutes from pretty cobbled Cordes. Juliet and Mike’s home in the winter, it’s been renovated to create a supremely comfortable house with a cool, contemporary style: white plaster, exposed stone and beams, tiled or polished wood floors. Bedrooms are fresh, simple spaces where plain modern furnishings mix with the odd rustic table or wardrobe. Contemporary prints and faux-fur throws add colour, all have glorious views and generous, practical bathrooms; three have patios. An airy living-space, with oak floors and beams, is crisply furnished with cream sofas, oak country pieces and art. Cooks will love the sleek kitchen, faultlessly equipped. Eat inside or out, in the shade or sun. Visit vineyards, walk, explore Toulouse or relax in the garden with its terraces, shady corners, potager, herbs and pool.

Reviews

Jo, Bedfordshire

Wow, we had a superb week at Villa Rudel! Juliet was incredible helpful at all times, from the initial enquiry to the visit itself. The villa is truly magnificent. It was perfect for us and so much to do; pool, gym, bikes, walks, play area, table tennis and much more. The house itself was furnished to a very high standard and both indoor and outdoor kitchens were fabulous for foodies to use! We loved the wood-fired pizza oven which was easy to use and a fabulous way to spend an evening with family and friends. Stunning views too, this place really did have it all, am recommending to friends!


Yvonne, Henley-on-Thames

This is our second visit to Villa Rudel and hopefully not our last. It is in an excellent location, with virtually no traffic from one hour to the next. The property is very private and not overlooked at all. The inside of the house is very tastefully decorated, the kitchen has everything you could possibly need, the beds are very comfortable, with good bedding, and modern bathrooms. Outside, the pool is crystal clean, there is a proper garden with established plants and trees, plenty of shade as well as sunny spots. Cordes and Puycelci are close by.


Yvonne, Marlow

Charming farmhouse deep in the rolling green countryside within easy reach of Cordes and other pretty Medieval bastide villages. The house is very comfortable, well equipped with everything we needed and much more. There are several sitting areas for sunshine and shade. Very quiet and peaceful, complete privacy yet only 20 minutes drive from excellent restaurants. Juliet was the perfect host; responsive, extremely generous with a lovely welcome basket, and offered great tips for walks and days out. Highly recommended!


Larry, New York

Villa Rudel is a haven where every detail is perfect. Set in serene surroundings, it's an ideal base for exploring local villages, vineyards and beyond. We loved the luxury and comfort, complemented by exceptional hospitality and thoughtful recommendations. A two-week stay filled with memorable experiences, from local cuisine to relaxing in the beautiful garden & pool, a truly unforgettable holiday for our family. The owners are salt of the earth and will go above and beyond for your every comfort. If you want to live in a little paradise for a while, book here. Its simply incredible.


Marie, Nottingham

Beautiful spacious villa in a glorious part of France. The villa is immaculate on the inside and outside. The swimming pool is wonderful. The bedrooms and living areas are clean and comfortable. The leisure equipment went down a treat with the children - badminton, table tennis, table football and bicycles! The host is proactive, helpful and friendly. We had the best time and would love to return. Highly recommended!
