Gîte Indépendant Attach principale propriété, avec piscine privée

We never tire of renewing our relationship with Monesties, lying as it does between Saint Antonin and Albi, and with Laguepie and Cordes so close. The gite of Les Hirondelles is a beautiful conversion with spectacular views across the country to the foothills of the Pyrenees. It is excellently equipped and the hosts, the Thrales, manage to be helpfully, attentive and unobtrusive at the same time. We had a great holiday there!

We enjoyed a wonderful week at this immaculate, well appointed and fantastically located gite. Panoramic views from gite, terrace and superb pool were a particular highlight. We enjoyed a couple of local walks from Monesties and cycle rides to, and around, the local reservoir as well as touring the Aveyron valley. Roger and Sara were ideal hosts and obviously take great pride in their superb property.

This gite was by far the best we have ever stayed in. Superbly equipped and extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean. So peaceful and quiet with views to die for. The Tarn area of France offers plenty of interests for all tastes (both sporting and cultural) which are all on your doorstep. Sara and Roger were delightful hosts. We will definitely return and would certainly recommend it to friends and family.

Les Hirondelles is a gite of the very highest standard in beautiful rolling countryside, equipped with everything you need for a home away from home. We enjoyed our time there last year so much that we returned this year. We divided our time between lounging in the sun, swimming in the pool (which is meticulously maintained & a lovely warm temperature) & visiting some of the many fascinating towns within an hour drive. The property is wonderfully peaceful, the only sounds breaking the silence are the odd tractor, a few cows & the plentiful birdlife. Roger & Sara are excellent, friendly hosts who are always on hand should you need any assistance. We would have no hesitation in recommending Les Hirondelles to anyone who is looking for some time away to fully recharge & relax.

Martin & Jane

The facilities include everything you might need to relax an enjoy your holiday and were clean and well-presented on arrival. The car was particularly grateful for the shade of the garage. Sara and Roger were knowledgeable, helpful and friendly (but Roger is a bit of a boules-shark). The pool was fastidiously maintained, a good size and warm, The surrounding countryside was full of interesting and varied wildlife, with the local town of Monesties (5km) handy for the boulangerie, epicerie and a couple of bars, with boules competitions each Wednesday we were there. The Super-U (11km) is reasonably handy for victuals. We had a few touristy days (Albi is within an hour and worth a trip), but mostly we just lounged around relaxing and enjoying the local countryside and the Gaillac. We had a relaxing and enjoyable couple of weeks, but I wouldn't recommend it; as I want to be able to book here again.
