Why choosing a holiday rental 45 min from Cordes-sur-Ciel is a strategic choice?

Voted “France’s Favorite Village”, Cordes-sur-Ciel is a jewel of Gothic architecture perched above the valleys. Its steep streets and centuries-old facades attract visitors from all over the world. If you search for “Gite Cordes sur Ciel”, you likely dream of this medieval atmosphere.

However, staying inside the city or at its immediate foot presents constraints: difficult and paid parking, narrow streets inaccessible by car, significant heat stored by the stone in summer, and often a lack of gardens or private pools. Furthermore, once in Cordes, you are slightly off-center compared to other wonders of the department like Toulouse or Lavaur.

This is where Les Cottages du Tarn comes in. Located in Peyrole and Brens, we offer the perfect compromise. You are about a 45-minute drive from Cordes-sur-Ciel (a beautiful road crossing the vineyards), which is ideal for a day trip. But in the evening, you return to an easily accessible haven of peace, with secure parking and above all: private heated swimming pools that are impossible to find in the medieval city.

The Peyrole Estate: The Privacy of a Private Pool

At Peyrole, we have created living spaces turned towards nature and serenity. It is the ideal base to radiate throughout the Tarn (Cordes to the north, Albi to the east, Toulouse to the southwest) while enjoying exceptional modern comfort.

The golden rule here is simple: each cottage has its own private pool. No schedules, no neighbors on the deckchair next to you. It is your home.

1. Le Cottage Bien-être: Romance and Spa

This is the flagship accommodation for couples who want to reunite after climbing the steep streets of Cordes. Le Cottage Bien-être combines two major assets: a private heated pool and a private jacuzzi usable all year round. Imagine relaxing in the bubbles with a clear view of nature, far from the tourist crowds. Accommodating up to 7 people, it offers an incomparable break of softness.

2. Le Gîte Nature: Authenticity and Calm

If you are looking for a nature gite for your holidays, look no further. Le Gîte Nature is an ode to simplicity and replenishment. Carefully decorated to harmonize with the environment, it features a beautiful terrace opening onto a private garden. Your private heated pool awaits you there for moments of absolute idleness. It is the ideal place to disconnect and listen to the silence of the Tarn countryside after the excitement of visiting Cordes.

3. Le Grand Cottage: For large families

Visiting the Tarn as a group is an adventure, but you need to be able to house everyone comfortably. Le Grand Cottage (up to 12 people) is the ideal holiday home for tribes. Everyone has their own space, but the large living room allows for getting together. The private pool is secure and allows children to have fun while adults prepare the meal. It is conviviality without overcrowding.

4. Le Bohème: Still escape

With the cottage Le Bohème, we offer a “slow life” atmosphere decorated in an ethnic chic style (rattan, wood, soft colors). It is a soothing cocoon, perfect for resting. As with all our accommodations in Peyrole, the ultimate privilege remains exclusive access to your private pool in your garden. A simple but essential luxury for a successful holiday in the South.

5. Le Loft: Design and Light

For lovers of open spaces, Le Loft offers a modern alternative to the usual rustic style of the region. Bathed in light thanks to its large volumes, it is spacious and functional. Its equipped kitchen allows you to cook local specialties bought at the markets. And of course, you step from the living room to your private pool in just a few strides.

The Brens Estate: Flexibility and Private Sauna

Our Brens estate is strategically located near the A68 motorway, facilitating arrival from Toulouse, while allowing you to reach Cordes-sur-Ciel in about 45 minutes through the Gaillac hillsides.

Independent cottages for families (4 to 6 people)

Are you simply looking for comfortable accommodation for your family? Our 4 cottages in Brens (Le Primeur, Le Vigne Rouge, Le Loin de l’Oeil, Le Syrah) can be rented separately. Each home is fully autonomous, featuring its own equipped kitchen, living room, and all the necessary comfort for an independent holiday in the heart of the vineyards.

The “Duo” solution for groups and large tribes

Are you traveling with two families or a group of friends? This is where our unique modularity comes into play. Thanks to double insulated door systems, we can link the cottages to create large common living spaces while preserving night-time privacy:

• Le Duo Syrah Loin de l’Oeil: By combining these two cottages, you get a capacity of 12 people.
• Le Duo Vigne Rouge Primeur: Same ingenious principle to comfortably welcome 12 people as well.

By booking the entire estate, you have a total capacity of 24 beds.

The wellness asset: The Private Sauna

Whether you rent a single cottage or a Duo, you have access to our wellness area. We operate on the principle of a private sauna: upon reservation, the space is entirely dedicated to you. It is a highly requested relaxing experience, ideal for loosening up muscles after a day of walking in the bastides.

What to do in Cordes-sur-Ciel (45 min from your gite)?

Here are our tips for a successful excursion from Peyrole or Brens:

1. The ascent to the sky

Park at the bottom (paid parking lots) and walk up via the Grand Rue de l’Horloge. The effort is rewarded by breathtaking views of the Cérou valley. Admire the Gothic facades of the houses of rich 13th-century merchants.

2. Arts and Crafts

Cordes is famous for its many artisans and artists (jewelers, glassblowers, painters, leather workers) who have taken up residence in medieval stalls. It is the ideal place to find a unique and authentic souvenir.

3. Le Jardin des Paradis

Located on the terraces of the lower town, this remarkable garden is a refreshing stop. It is a poetic place, mixing art and botany, perfect for a quiet break with children before hitting the road back to your pool.

4. Taste the “Croquants de Cordes”

Impossible to leave without having tasted this local almond specialty. Light and crunchy, they are eaten without hunger and are easily taken away for a snack by your pool at Les Cottages du Tarn.

Absolutely. If you rent Le Cottage Bien-être, Le Gîte Nature, Le Bohème, Le Loft, or Le Grand Cottage, the pool located in your garden is exclusively reserved for you. No sharing with other vacationers.

Do you accept pets?

Yes, we accept animals in most of our accommodations. It is often simpler to manage a dog in our cottages with a garden than in the narrow and busy streets of Cordes! Please specify this when booking.
