The gîte was originally a barn so there are beams in the bedrooms and plenty of exposed stone walls to give the interior a warm and relaxed atmosphere. In addition to the courtyard there is a large, secluded, south facing garden with splendid views over the rooftops towards the river. The entrance to the gîte is through the courtyard into a large kitchen/living area with tiled floors and plenty of exposed stone. The two large glass doors that form the entrance can be opened fully so that the courtyard becomes an extension of the living area. To the rear of this large room there are stairs leading up to a sitting room with two sofas, two chairs and a tv. Off the sitting room are the three bedrooms with exposed beams and stone walls, a separate toilet and a bathroom with separate shower. • A large kitchen/living space • An upstairs sitting room. • Two large double bedrooms (both with a double bed) and one smaller bedroom with twin beds. • A bathroom with a full size bath and a shower. • A toilet. • Wifi & Freeview TV. The gîte will comfortably sleep 6 people. Meals "al fresco" can be enjoyed in the courtyard or in the garden. There is also a barbecue. Amenities in the kitchen include a gas hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge-freezer and washing machine. The kitchen is equipped with all you are likely to need to cook the delicious produce you have bought in the local markets. Please note that access to the main house is also via the courtyard but the two properties are some distance apart and the area close to the gîte is screened off and for the exclusive use of guests. Guests also have use of the large garden (shared with the owners) which can be accessed via a number of steps from the courtyard. Bedding (to include pillows, duvets, sheets, duvet covers, pillow slips etc.) and towels for use in the house are provided. In the summer the village offers three places to eat. The Guinguette d'Albas with views over the river offers casual dining with regular live music nights and DJ sets through the summer months. La Rose & Le Réséda is set in the medieval heart of the village where meals are eaten outside in good weather. The third is a bar in the village which provides meals in the summer and where it is also possible to order bread. There is also Bonjour Epicerie where it is possible to buy groceries and a selection of fresh food. Finally the village has its own 'beach', where it is possible to swim in the river Lot. The village festival with four nights of music Friday to Monday is the first weekend in August. Guests are very welcome to take part in the festival but please note that you may experience some noise from it. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village ### Things to do - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Swimming nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,292 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 1 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

Albas is an amazingly beautiful village perched high above the River Lot. There's a lovely swimming spot within walking distance. No boulangerie in the village, sadly, but there's a small epicerie and you can order bread for the next day from the bar in the square. Would definitely come back - thank you! ##### Barney J.

Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jero L. 2 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent séjour en famille Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, 11 nuits, en famille à 6 (parents, gds-parents et petits-enfants). Nous avons pu garer nos 2 véhicules sans pb. L'accueil fut parfait, Sue et son époux sont des hôtes courtois et attentionnés. Le logement était tout à fait conforme, propre et bien équipé. Il s'agit d'une ancienne grange dont une partie est prise dans la pierre, une certaine humidité peut surprendre à la première entrée mais un déshumidificateur tourne en permanence et fait son travail. On n'y prête rapidement plus attention. Les chambres spacieuses sont à l'étage, aucun sentiment d'humidité que ce soit dans l'air ou sur les draps. Vous pouvez dormir tranquille. Et quel calme. Reposant, ressourçant. Albas est un charmant village niché sur son rocher et surplombant le Lot, entouré de vignobles et avec de belles balades à faire. Par ex. (en suivant les panneaux face au portail) : grimpette vers la table d'orientation puis pousser à la Croix Girard et enfin redescendre en longeant les vignes en direction du château d'eau. Mais il y en a bien d'autres. Il existe une belle plage pour se rafraichir sur la berge opposée au barrage. On s'y rend facilement à pied. Prudence pour les plus petits, elle n'est pas surveillée. Il y a plusieurs offres de restauration : bar, restos, guinguette au bord de l'eau, petite épicerie bio. Seule manque une boulangerie pour satisfaire tout le monde. Le reste est à découvrir ! Albas et sa région sont magnifiques. Merci pour tout. ##### Jero L.

Et nous y étions très bien. Le jardin rien que pour nous. La proximité du Lot et le magnifique village d'Albas ont contribué à passer un très agréable séjour. Nous avons été accueillis par Adrian très prévenant et discret. Nous recommandons ce logement pour une famille avec 3 enfants ! ##### emilie d.

De woning rook wel naar vocht en naar ons idee naar een stofje waarmee de balken werden behandeld. Was indringend. Jammer dat de verwarmingspomp het begaf waardoor we in de avonden het koud hadden. Ook het warmwater was er een dag niet maar dat werd snel verholpen door Adrian. De bedden waren wat gammel maar ook dat werd snel verholpen. We hebben ons er niet door laten leiden en een goede vakantie gehad. Prijs/ kwaliteit vonden we niet helemaal kloppen. ##### Margreet W.

La maison est très agréable, charmante, spacieuse et dispose de 2 beaux espaces extérieurs. Sue, la propriétaire nous a très bien accueillie et a été très sympathique. Deux petits bémols néanmoins, le ménage pourrait être fait plus à fond et la maison est très humide. Ce n'est pas trop gênant en été mais cela doit fortement le devenir à l'automne ou en hiver. ##### fanette b.

Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, die Küche ist mit allem Notwendigen ausgestattet. Besonders erwähnenswert ist die Ausstattung der Schlafzimmer mit guter Bettwäsche, die im Preis inbegriffen ist - in Frankreich leider keine Selbstverständlichkeit, meistens erhält man gegen weitere Kosten nur unzureichende Decken und Tücher. Das ist den sehr netten und großzügigen Vermietern zu verdanken, die als Engländer wohl ein richtiges Bett schätzen und uns mit einer Flasche regionalem Rotwein und frischen Erdbeeren begrüßt haben. Außerdem haben sie eine ausführliche Beschreibung der Gegend und nützliche praktische Tipps für Attraktionen, Restaurants etc. zur Verfügung gestellt. Wir kommen gerne wieder! ##### Gudrun F. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ken S., Maine 16 Apr 2019 #### Comfortable well-equipped cottage with charm La Grange was excellently as advertised. Loved the big kitchen table and woodstove as it was single digits in early April. It was very handy having Sue's attendant Adrian close by when we had a question with the heating system. The upstairs lounge was very comfortable and English TV was a nice surprise. Out bed was very comfortable, and we appreciated having two sinks in the bathroom. We found Albas to be a good location. ##### Ken S. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerstin B. 13 Sept 2018 #### We enjoyed our stay at la Grange a lot. It is located in a lovely and quiet neighbourhood Da der Ort Albas sehr klein ist, kann man sich gut entspannen und ausruhen. Die Umgebung eignet sich hervorragend zum Wandern und spazieren gehen. Außerdem gibt es nicht weit entfernt einige Weingüter. Am Marktplatz von Albas gibt es ein kleines Lokal mit gutem Wein und Essen. ##### Kerstin B.

Sehr gemütliche und voll ausgestattete Wohnung, die keine Wünsche offen lässt. Im Garten kann man sowohl in der Sonne als auch im Schatten sitzen und liegen, sogar ein kleiner Pool ist vorhanden. Ruhe und Erholung sind garantiert. Die Umgebung bietet traumhafte Wander- und Radrouten und sehr, sehr guten Wein, den man bei den vielen Winzern probieren kann. Am Dorfplatz gibt es ein kleines Restaurant mit einem sehr netten Wirt, der einem auf Wunsch auch mit frischem Brot versorgt. ##### Elly L.
