15th Century Former Presbytery With Private Pool In A Charming Village

A charming and beautifully furnished historic property, set in the heart of a classic French village, and right next to the church and square. The garden is an oasis - filled with roses and lavender and is very special at night with all the fairy lights.The pool provided a lovely central point which was very well used by all. The spacious house and garden offered super opportunities for the children to play hide & seek and treasure hunts!Altogether a really super place for fun and relaxation

We had an excellent stay. The rooms and beds are good, het kitchen well equiped and the location (on the town square) great. The owner was very communicative and pleasant to us - even after we managed to accidentally destroy the kettle (sorry deborah!), so that is a big plus as well. The only real drawback I can think of with this accomodation is that the nearest store / bakery are about 45 min walk (but a 6 min drive),

You could have a lovely holiday here but keep your party to 6 maximum and don't use the attic room in summer!! The area is beautiful but the garden is surprisingly noisy as there is a lot of traffic through the village The three main bedrooms are super. The pool is well shaded and the outdoor dining area is good but cramped

We couldn't fault this property. Spotlessly clean and with everything you need including spacious kitchen, lounge and outside seating areas. Lovely bedrooms too. We were a party of 8 and had plenty of space. There are a good number of bathrooms and toilets too. Garden is lovely and pool is a good size and well maintained. Vieux is a small pretty town which in August at least has a weekly evening market on a Wednesday where you can buy local produce, wine and food. There is a town with bakery, well stocked shop, pharmacy etc about 3 miles away. A supermarket about 20 minutes away. There are lots of beautiful hilltop towns and villages (many with markets on certain days) to visit and wander around and Albi with it's stunning Cathedral is only half an hour away. Everything about the house is bigger than it looks in the pictures. None of us wanted to leave. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks for letting us stay!!

My husband and I stayed here for a week with our three children and my parents as we were in the area for a family wedding and wanted a peaceful base for inbetween events. It was perfect, the house is beautiful and the gardens were stunning. We felt like we were in a fairytale! The children loved playing outside and also in the attic which they used as a playroom as it had plently of board games and toys to keep them entertained. Everything was perfectly clean (which is no mean feat in such an old house!) and the pool was spotless on our arrival. Check in and check out were nice and simple with a lockbox system, and communication with the owner was great throughout our stay. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could need and there were plenty of towels and extra bedding etc. It was also very hamdy to have a washing machine during our stay. No phone signal (which is to be expected in this area) but WiFi available and English TV channels if required. There is a supermarket a short drive away and lots of lovely villages/towns to visit (by car) nearby if you wish to eat out. The locals were very welcoming, offering helpful advice and friendly conversation. We would 100% recommend staying here and hope to do so ourselves in the future!

The house is beautiful and well equipped. It has a lot of characters and located about 15 minutes from Gaillac. Deborah was great with everything and very accommodating.

A fantastic three weeks at this beautiful house, with everything you would need and more, refreshing pool, comfortable rooms, plenty of en-suites and beautiful garden. Plenty of pretty villages to visit with lovely restaurants. Great place to stay to explore the area

Three generations of our family- aged from 2 to 62- spent a glorious eight days of fun and relaxation at Le Presbytere. The layout of the house was ideal, with interconnecting doors between bedrooms for parents and little ones, a large family living room and an abundance of en-suites. The house is absolutely full of character; the rooms are thoughtfully furnished and the new kitchen is well-equipped to the highest standard. Due to the glorious weather, we were able to make very good use of the pool, the garden , the terrace and the gas barbecue. We were able to buy delicious croissants and provisions each morning in Cahuzac-sur-Vere....usually followed by a coffee in the sun outside the Bar Tabac. In Vieux the Wednesday hot-food van, from 6pm to 10pm, is an unmissable event. Extra tables appear in the square and villagers gather together to chat, eat, drink and play pétanque....such a wonderful atmosphere. We loved it! We also enjoyed delicious takeaway pizzas made by the chef at Camping Le Soleil des Bastides, just outside Cahuzac. Our young granddaughters loved playing each evening on the swings near the car park, having a little walk with us around the safe and peaceful village and particularly enjoyed their little pony riding experience at La Burgue...the equestrian centre between Vieux and Le Verdier. The house is ideally located for visiting some stunning hilltop villages including Cordes sur Ciel, Puycelsi and...our favourite... Bruniquel. We also visited the town of Gaillac....only 10km away....which has a variety of shops, cafes and a Sunday market. We consider Le Presbytere to be a high-quality, characterful holiday home in a beautiful location and Deborah is a helpful and considerate host who strives to ensure her guests have the best holiday possible. We all made lots of happy memories during our holiday in Vieux and will, hopefully, return to this beautiful part of France sometime in the future.

If you're looking for a relaxing holiday in a lovely comfortable house, in the beautiful french countryside, then the Presbyterian ticks all those boxes. The house was cool and spacious, with everything we needed. We all enjoyed the garden and the pool was very welcome in the heat! Vieux itself is very small, but beautiful. We will miss sitting in the square on an evening playing boule with some of the locals! Wednesday night was fun, with a food van coming to the square and lots of locals and other holidaymakers playing music and playing boules together. The nearby towns are all worth a visit, Cordes-sur-Ciel, Puycelci, Albi ,Castelnau-de-Montmiral to name a few. You definitely need a car as there is no public transport. The owners were extremely helpful and answered all my questions promptly. We definitely hope to return as it’s such a beautiful area and the house was perfect for us.

The chateau has everything to offer and is just so relaxing. Would definitely stay there again.
