Laval-Roqueceziere Vacations from $1,367

Booked this without knowing quite what to expect and am so pleased to have found it. Really nice rooms, lovely food and wonderful staff. We enjoyed every minute and aspect of our stay. Prices are excellent. Many thanks!

Just 3 miles from bustling Figeac, nestled among a forest of trees and up a snaking narrow entrance road, lies Le Murier de Viels. It was a farm once, so the accommodation for guests is in several well-converted, and very sturdy, thick stone-built farm buildings. The swimming pool is down some steps to a lower level of the hotel, so not for use by anyone with a walking disability. Peace and tranquility await you from the very start. And eating an evening meal expertly and deliciously prepared by Oz, the co-proprietor with his charming wife, Josephine, is taken on the terrace overlooking the wooded valley and Aveyron river below. Josephine was very helpful with local touring tips, which we found most helpful. Just ask and she knows the answer to most of your questions. Overall, good value for money and a safe, pleasant place to stay. But you will need your own transport.
