About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A house of character

"Immerse yourself in an enchanted getaway at Domaine du Cardou, nestled in 8 hectares of lush, unspoilt countryside. Just a stone's throw from Puy l'Évêque, the undisputed jewel of the Lot, this haven of peace awaits you for an unforgettable experience.

Your path to serenity begins with a stroll through the woods, leading you to a majestic 13th-century residence. With its imposing silhouette and emblematic Quercy-style architectural features, the estate reveals its history through its magnificently preserved buildings. Between the dovecotes, relics of a past rich in stories, lies a charming hamlet, probably a former stopover on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.

Gîte JADE can accommodate up to 10 people for an unforgettable stay. Its vast living spaces are designed to provide optimum comfort and a welcoming atmosphere for every guest. You'll be enchanted by its facilities, in particular its large courtyard, a place for socialising and relaxing, where you can share special moments while taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

Within the estate, you'll also find two other gîtes entirely independent of Gîte JADE, offering total privacy to their occupants. However, the swimming pool and games room are communal areas where you can relax and enjoy yourself in the company of other residents, creating shared memories in this enchanting setting.

Every corner of Domaine du Cardou is imbued with charm and authenticity, providing an idyllic setting for a memorable getaway."

Un superbe domaine dans un écrin de verdure

Nous avons passés d'excellent moment en famille. Le gite Jade est superbe, très bien équipé.L'espace à notre disposition permet d'accueillir facilement 10 personnes. Les ados et jeunes adultes ont bien appréciés l'espace jeux avec le baby foot et la table de Ping Pong.Une superbe piscine chauffée était à notre disposition, ainsi qu'un espace dédié à la pratique de la pétanque.Les équipements du domaine de Cardou permettent diverses activités suivant les envies de chacun.Merci à Marie-Laure et Pierre pour leur accueil.

Propre et conforme aux attentes.

Le lieu est très beau et bien entretenu. Les propriétaires vivent sur la propriété. Malheureusement la piscine n’était pas fonctionnelle et ne semble pas être prête d’aussi tôt. Le terrain de pétanque a l’abandon est bien dommage. Pour le reste rien à redire.
