Casa Glèsia · Medieval loft · Most Beautiful Villages of France · Church view

Push open the door of a house dating from 1300, on the church square of Castelnau-de-Montmiral, one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France. Casa Glèsia is an upstairs loft where old stone and timber beams meet today's comforts, for 2 to 4 guests. Officially classified 4-star holiday rental (meublé de tourisme).

THE LOFT
• A bedroom with a king-size bed and premium bedding
• A bright living room with a sofa bed (a real 120×190 mattress)
• A fully equipped kitchen with a Dolce Gusto coffee machine and a washing machine
• A modern shower room
• Bed linen, towels and tea towels provided, TV
4 guests maximum, including no more than 3 adults: the 3rd and 4th guests sleep on the living-room sofa bed, ideal for 1 adult and 1 child or 2 children, a little snug for 2 adults. Travel cot on request.
The loft is upstairs, up a steep medieval staircase: not well suited to guests with reduced mobility, and take care with a baby.
No air conditioning, to be upfront about it: a fan is provided.

OUTSIDE: THE VILLAGE
Here, the outdoors is the village. In the morning you cross the square for your first coffee; the cobbled lanes start at the door, and cafés and restaurants are 30 seconds away. Castelnau-de-Montmiral is a 13th-century bastide with an arcaded square and half-timbered houses; in the evening, silence returns to the old stones.
Free parking alongside the church, and everywhere in the village; some lanes are pedestrian only.

THE AREA
Gaillac wine estates 5 min away. At the foot of the village, the Vère-Grésigne lakes (supervised swimming in summer). Cordes-sur-Ciel 15 min, Puycelsi and Bruniquel 20 min, the Grésigne forest 20 min, Albi and its UNESCO-listed episcopal city 30 min, Toulouse 1 hour. A car is handy for exploring; in the village, everything is on foot.

YOUR HOSTS
We live 5 minutes away by car: if you need us, we're there quickly; otherwise, no surprise visits, you're at home. Self check-in from 5 pm, check-out by 11 am; all the practical details are sent to you by message before you arrive. We answer 7 days a week and love sharing our favourite places: wine estates, restaurants, hikes in the Grésigne forest, trips to Albi and Cordes. No smoking, no pets, no parties.

End-of-stay cleaning is up to you before you leave: your little departure checklist, with everything there is to do, arrives the day before. Thank you!
