Hidden away in the Tarn countryside is a haven of peace perched on a hill, L'Écrin du Puech. Its picturesque façade is in perfect harmony with its architecture and interior design.
In the morning, gather with the family on the terrace for a delicious cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the splendid view over the fields and woods surrounding the house. After breakfast, take a stroll through the fruit trees or the 2 hectares of woodland (partially walkable) and if you're lucky and if you know how to keep a low profile, you might be lucky enough to spot some roe deer! Then why not head for the Arifat waterfalls, an 80-metre waterfall created by the stream, the village of Ambialet in the middle of a loop of the Tarn and its spectacular panorama, the Grandval castle, the Bancalié lake and its path following the contours of the lake in a unique and wild setting, not forgetting the episcopal city of Albi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and its famous Sainte Cécile cathedral.
After your adventures, enjoy a moment of calm by the heated swimming pool or go for a few lengths, relax in the Spa or treat yourself to a session in the gym. In the evening, spice up your pre-dinner drinks with a game of pétanque while enjoying the extraordinary architecture that surrounds you.
As an option and on request, you can book a massage session with a qualified professional who was voted best apprentice in the Midi-Pyrénées.
For lovers of motorbikes and hair-raising rides, we have the legendary Royal enfield 500 available for hire.
L'Écrin du Puech will delight you with its peaceful location, just 2 km from Teillet, a charming little village with all local amenities.
It can accommodate up to 10 people (8 adults max), and you'll love the peaceful atmosphere and relaxing views over the countryside.
