Location

This stunning "maison forte" is a classified national monument dating back to the 11th and 14th centuries. Its history boasts the siege of Simon de Montfort in 1213 and regular visits by the Duchesse of Berry. It is ideally located on the borders of the Tarn-et-Garonne and the Lot-et-Garonne, 36km northeast of Agen, 20km southeast of Villeneuve-sur-Lot and 64km northwest of Montauban. The small village of Valeilles is 1.5km away, and all basic shops can be found at Dausse (4km), Roquecor (7km) and Montaigu-de-Quercy (10km), all charming villages. Market days are Saturdays at Montaigu and Sundays at Roquecor.

There is a public tennis court in Valeilles, bicycle hire and a leisure lake at Montaigu, horse riding at St Beauzeil (3.5km). Swimming is possible 5km away in the Lot River. There are various golf courses nearby, notably at Agen.

 

Exterior

The property is set in 15 hectares of grounds, and enjoys fantastic views towards the châteaux of Naoillac and Cassideroque, and boasts a magnificent interior courtyard with an 11th century covered terrace. Lovely walks can be taken from the property on the grounds; it is close to a natural source with its old washing place. A large salt-water swimming pool is located to one side of the property.
 

Interior

The interior contains impressive medieval and renaissance furniture combined with all modern amenities. On the ground floor is a grand hall leading to various living areas - a huge living room with a 14th century gothic fireplace, a large dining room with a wood sculpted fireplace, a study, an army memorabilia room, a separate wc, and a well-equipped kitchen with access to a terrace with beautiful views.

An imposing stone staircase leads up to the first floor with a single "staff" bedroom accessible via a laundry room, a double bedroom with an en suite bathroom and a wc, a corridor with valuable military paintings, a double bedroom with a child's bed (up to 10 years), a separate wc, a bathroom, a double bedroom with an en suite bathroom with a wc, and a double bedroom with a washbasin.

The second floor is ideal for children and teenagers; it consists of a landing with a single bed, a twin bedroom, a bathroom, a separate wc and a games room with two single beds (TV, video, playstation). Care must be taken with small children due to the quality of the furnishings.

Occupancy is limited to 13 persons.
