Historic property in one of France’s officially recognised “Plus Beaux Villages”, comprising architect-converted 17th C listed buildings with 8 en-suite bedrooms, restaurant, bar, commercial kitchen and conference room. Set in the Gaillac wine region, it retains stone arches, exposed stonework and a striking 19th-century stained-glass window.
The property is situated in the heart of one of France’s officially recognised Plus Beaux Villages, in the renowned Gaillac wine region of Tarn.
Often described as the “Tuscany of France”, the surrounding area is characterised by rolling countryside, historic villages and vineyards producing the celebrated wines of Gaillac. The property's central position within the village provides immediate access to its historic surroundings and makes it particularly suited to hospitality, dining, retreat or event use.
Originally comprising a collection of 17th-century listed buildings, the property was converted by an architect in 1990, creating a coherent and characterful hospitality property while retaining many of the original architectural features.
The property is currently operated as a hotel. A future owner wishing to continue this activity will need to undertake their own administrative procedures and obtain any necessary permissions.
The accommodation currently comprises eight individually appointed guest bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities. Two of the bedrooms enjoy panoramic views across the village rooftops and surrounding countryside.
The reception areas include an elegant entrance and guest lounge with a character fireplace, creating a welcoming space for visitors.
Restaurant And Reception Areas
The property includes a restaurant and bar with seating for approximately 40 guests, together with a fully equipped professional kitchen.
A large conference room provides additional flexibility and could be used as a library, meeting room or function space, depending on the future owner's requirements.
The existing configuration makes the property suitable for a continuation of hospitality use, subject to the necessary permissions, while its layout also offers potential for a restaurant with rooms, retreat venue, private events or conversion to a substantial private residence.
Architectural Features
The historic character of the buildings remains particularly evident throughout the property.
Notable features include substantial 17th-century stone arches, listed architectural elements, exposed stonework and a striking 19th-century stained-glass window.
The architect-designed conversion has allowed these period features to be incorporated into a property offering modern hospitality facilities while retaining its historic identity.
