Nestling on the side of a hill at the end of a hidden valley, close to the medieval bastide of Najac, the first glimpse of La Sérénité, framed by walnut trees, is its steeply pitched roof atop beautifully restored stone walls. As you arrive along the sweep of drive, the impressive stone façade of this stunning property is revealed in all its glory.

Set against the backdrop of original farmhouse features, La Sérénité offers a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, from the heated pool and elevated deck to the comfortable rooms and modern amenities.

Reflecting the building’s farmhouse origins, the main living accommodation is located on the first floor. To the right of the entrance hall, the exposed stone walls, wood beams, and original 'evier' sink retain their traditional charm, creating a rustic feel in the triple-aspect living room. Across from this, the spacious kitchen/diner is also triple-aspect, offering a light and airy space with double doors leading out to the covered dining terrace. Throughout the property, a tiled floor adds a contemporary touch.

The top floor of La Sérénité is dedicated to two bedroom suites, each beautifully decorated with exposed wood rafters and spacious en suite facilities, complete with air conditioning. Two additional bedrooms are located on the ground floor, accessible via an oak staircase from the living room. The double bedroom on this floor, with direct access to the garden and pool, is perfect for guests seeking a little independence.

Outside, two ancient walnut trees provide natural shade by the dining terrace, with a cluster of ash trees underlit at night offering further shelter near the pool area. The garden features circular benches and Shaker-style furniture, adding a rustic charm. An elevated wooden deck, recently added to the side of the house, provides a fabulous spot for relaxing on outdoor sofas while taking in the stunning views.

The heated infinity pool is perfectly positioned to capture the sun and offers superb views over the Aveyron river gorges. The surrounding lawned garden, planted with a variety of flowers, is secluded and tranquil, providing a peaceful retreat.

The village of La Fouillade (3km) offers a couple of cafés and shops for everyday conveniences. For more exploration, Najac (6km), one of the most picturesque bastide villages, is a must-visit for its Sunday market and excellent eateries, from pizzerias to award-winning restaurants. An evening stroll through the village, with its château spectacularly illuminated, followed by dinner, is the perfect way to end the day.
