Tourondel Villa, Floressas

A restorative, rural retreat is the most befitting way to describe Tourondel. Tucked away on a hillside in the glorious Lot countryside, it is a bolthole for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, an open invitation to relax, drink in the views and enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature.

There are plenty of enticing spots to enjoy the beautiful surroundings: an east-facing balcony is ideal for breakfast, while a covered terrace offers shade in the summer afternoons, making it a perfect spot for dinner. The garden doubles as an open-air yoga studio, and the pool terrace, with its far-reaching views over the green patchwork of fields, woods, and hills, can be enjoyed throughout the day and night. Try stargazing under the clear skies for a truly magical experience.

The charm of this rustic retreat extends indoors. Wood beams and floors, a deep fireplace lined with patterned tiles, a glass chandelier, and cosy sofas and armchairs all lend character and style to the open-plan living space. The area is thoughtfully zoned into three sections: kitchen, dining, and living. Both bedrooms have access to the covered terrace, and with the recent addition of a shower room, there’s a bathroom for each bedroom.

• East-facing balcony for breakfast with a view
• Covered terrace for shaded afternoon relaxation and dinners
• Garden becomes a perfect open-air yoga studio
• Pool terrace offering panoramic views, perfect for day and night enjoyment

The nearby village of Floressas (2km) hosts a weekly market during the summer, while Sérignac (4km) has a lovely local restaurant. Both can be reached on foot via scenic woodland paths, taking approximately 30-40 minutes. For a special occasion or simply because you're on holiday, the nearby Château de Chambert (3km) offers fine dining in a fabulous setting, highly recommended by locals.

Tourondel is ideally located between Tournon d’Agenais (20min) and Puy l’Évêque (15min), making amenities easily accessible. These hilltop towns are a delight to explore, with Puy l’Évêque also offering boat trips and canoeing on the River Lot. A short drive along the river takes you to Cahors, famous for its market, the UNESCO-listed Valentré Bridge, and of course, its renowned wines.
