Beautiful Old Bastide with private pool and heated Nordic bath, near Montcuq

Private property for your exclusive use, La Bastide de Couvinens dates from 1850 and benefits from very old architectural elements (original stone floor, large old fireplace, old bread oven) probably from an old castle. It is quietly located in a hamlet of 5 houses, at 2 km from Montcuq-en-Quercy Blanc, a Medieval village where you will find all kind of shops, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants, rental electrical bikes shop, municipal lake designed for swimming and fishing with supervised white sand beach and water games in summer.

The house includes an equipped kitchen, a living-dining room with fireplace, SmartTV and DVD, free WIFI, a double bedroom with ensuite shower room and WC, a bedroom with 2 single beds which can be converted into a King size bed on demand, an independant bathroom and WC, a large attic bedroom (please note that we can not stand everywhere because it is an attic room) 2 single beds there, a WC and washbasin. Access to this 3rd bedroom is via a steep staircase.

You can enjoy the swimming pool and the covered terrace (with Professionnal gas plancha) and if the weather is too cool, you can try the Nordic bath ! It's a unique way to relax in the middle of nature, to the sound of the burning fire (the water is heated by a wood stove inside the bath). Enjoy the silence of nature, only the songs of the birds accompany you in this magical experience. A Nordic bath is included in your rental but for repeated use over several days, an additional 70 euros will be requested for participation in wood costs.

Wild garden of 8000 m2 adjoining and near the kitchen, thyme and rosemary available to cook good meals. In summer you can taste figs and peaches (all organic of course) from our garden, you just have to pick it up! And for fun: badminton court, table tennis, books, games.

Also, being a teacher of Hatha Yoga, member of the FNPY, I can give you a private lesson : we will practice on the terrace (course to be paid on site).

You will also have the opportunity to book a massage at the Les Fées Zen Beauty Institute in Montcuq, 2km away.(10% discount if you go through me)

Staying at La Bastide de Couvinens also means experimenting with ecological gestures: our towels are made of organic cotton, our cleaning products are organic whenever possible and we encourage you to compost.

Beautiful property
The house and its location is absolutely stunning. The children loved the pool and the pool area has lots of different areas both shaded and in the sunshine. We loved sitting out with a drink in the evening, listening to the sounds of nature and nothing else. So peaceful. The accommodation is very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, the showers have good pressure and hot water and the living area is cosy with Netflix etc on the tv plus a lot of dvds to choose from. The owner, Valerie, is attentive and quick to respond but otherwise left us alone to enjoy our holiday. We have had a wonderful time and would recommend this accommodation to anyone wishing to experience the peace and quiet of rural life in a beautiful area of France. We are sad to leave.

We loved our stay here, the pool was so lovely and the house was perfect for us all. The local town of Montcuq is a real gem and only 5 minutes away, so perfect for dinner or an early morning pastry run. Highly recommend staying here.

Relaxed stay in spacious country house
We had an amazing stay in this country house. The location was amazing, we did a lot of hikes and villages visits. Valerie was very nice hostess, she had provided us with good activity tips which were very helpful: like Sunday market at Motcuq and nice hikes around the house. Kids had a lot of fun playing and sunbathing in the garden. There was pingpong table, badminton rackets and yoga mats. Also Scandinavian bath was very nice to take in the evenings - very special experience!

Great stay!!
This was the most interesting and beautiful house we have ever stayed in. Original stone walls and stone floors, yet the plumbing and electrical all updated. Amazing backyard with pool, 3 sitting areas, and BarBQ. Surrounded by trees and countryside but only a short 5 minute drive to Montcuq. Our host, Valerie, went above and beyond to make our stay great. This place was worth every penny.

Lovely property in a little hamlet close to Montcuq, a beautiful little town with a few restaurants and a great wine shop! Some great mountain bike and hiking routes close by. The owner, Valérie, was most helpful throughout our 3 week stay and communication with her was excellent. Highly recommended.

Calm & Relaxing
A really lovely property - ideally suited for couples or a small/young family. Valérie is a very diligent and helpful host: available if needed but otherwise happy to leave guests free to enjoy themselves. The temperature was hot (over 35C the whole week) but we managed to explore the local area on foot and visit Cahors by car. The large pool was understandably very welcome but the outdoor space in general is perfect for al fresco dining. Montcuq (around 25 minutes walk away) is a nice village with cafés and a helpful Information Centre. One tip: the local supermarket is quite basic so best to shop in a larger town for more choice. Great holiday - thanks!

Tranquil Hamlet
This property lies just outside of Montcuq in a peaceful rural Hamlet. From my first enquiry Valerie was prompt with her response and was there to meet us on arrival. After presenting the property she made it clear that she was only a phone call away to help in any way, which was most reassuring. The property itself was perfect in every way. The pool area was particularly good, especially the hot tub which was good to relax in during the evening. The house itself was well appointed including the kitchen with everything necessary for an enjoyable holiday. Although we spent most of our time relaxing around the pool, the villages we visited in the surrounding area were very picturesque with the typical bars and cafes & restaurants that you'd expect from a French village We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again at some point in the future. Thank you Valerie

Just left this property and had an amazing week . The property has so much charm and the swimming pool area is fantastic. The owner Valérie is very helpful and made sure we were having a nice time . We used the Nordic bath which was amazing. The house is situated within glorious country side but you have everything on your door step , would recommend to anyone.

Beautiful house in the countryside
The house is beautiful and full of character. Set in lovely countryside but close to a picturesque town with all the amenities you could need including a fabulous market. The highlight for us was the outside space - by far the best of any of the houses we have rented over the years! Valerie is a perfect host. We would recommend this place to anyone!

Idyllic Retreat
Our family enjoyed a relaxing week in the Bastide de Couvinens. The house is not only full of charm and character but also fully equipped with everything you need for a self catering stay. We were 6 adults and 1 small child and ate in most days enjoying outdoor dining by the pool at lunchtime. The house is 2km from Montcuq and we frequently walked on the quiet country roads to the village. We particularly enjoyed the Sunday market and I even found a lake to swim in 1km from Montcuq! Valerie was a perfect host, sent us lots of information before our stay, arranged a cot and high chair for our son and even met us late in the evening when we arrived. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in the French countryside.

Charming renovation of a lovely property
A wonderful holiday in a gorgeous property . The property is close to a lovely village (but far enough away to be very peaceful) with all of the amenities and a weekly market. Great size pool that the kids really loved. The renovation of this property is excellent, retaining many of the properties original features with the addition of all the modern touches required. The property was immaculate on arrival, the owner Valerie was exceptionally helpful and only 2 km away if ever needed. We will definitely re-visit in the future.

Séjour très calme dans une maison fraiche et très bien équipée. La literie est de très grande qualité. La piscine est grande et la terrasse couverte bienvenue par fortes chaleurs. Valérie est une hôtesse très serviable et disponible. Nous avons trouvé que le jardin et les abords de la piscine mériterait un peu d'entretien. Nous recommandons néanmoins cette location.

Ein sehr schöner und erholsamer Urlaub
Wir haben 9 Tage in den Pfingstferien dort genossen. Das Haus ist sehr urig, aber mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Die Aussenanlage ist toll. Wir waren mit unseren zwei Teanager-Kindern und unserem Hund dort. Wir haben sowohl den Pool als auch das Nordic Bath sehr gerne benutzt. Fast jeden Tag. Des Weiteren haben wir auch jeden Tag Tischtennis gespielt. Es war sehr schön. Die Vermieterin Valerie ist sehr nett. Sie hat uns beim ersten Mal das Nordic Bath heiss gemacht. In den folgenden Tagen haben wir es selber aufgeheizt. Sie hat es uns aber gezeigt und erklärt, wie es geht. Desweiteren hat sie uns jederzeit ihre Hilfe angeboten. Außerdem hat sie uns mit Informationen versorgt, was in der Umgebung so passiert, z.B. der Markt in Montcouq Sonntags. Es war insgesamt sehr schön und entspannend.
