Located

Nestled in its own valley in the fabourgs of Auvillar, Le Farat is a charming stone hamlet dating back to the 17th century with a mansion in the centre. Originally a wine estate, it is now the home of Allison and Nick who have made it a beautiful place for holidays.

Close to a quiet little road and surrounded by the countryside with no close neighbours, the gravel driveway leads you to the entrance of the master house set in a beautiful park with its own fishing pond. There is a salt water swimming pool, a fully equipped games room, bicycles and fishing rods are available for hire, everything you will need for a great stay.

Auvillar (2.5km) is a beautiful little medieval village and is home to the Tarn et Garonne tourist office. Classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France. It enjoys a beautiful view of the Garonne valley and has in its centre the only round grain market in all of Occitania! Auvillar is also an important stop on the GR65 "Santiago de Compostela" route.

This quaint little village of 1000 souls benefits from all amenities but is also close to a town for petrol, supermarkets, and a wonderful market every Tuesday morning.
