Just a stone's throw from Puy l'Évêque, the undisputed jewel of the Lot, this haven of peace awaits you for an unforgettable experience. Your path to serenity begins with a stroll through the woods, leading you to a majestic 13th-century residence. With its imposing silhouette and emblematic Quercy-style architectural features, the estate reveals its history through its magnificently preserved buildings. Between the dovecotes, relics of a past rich in stories, lies a charming hamlet, probably a former stopover on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. Gîte JADE can accommodate up to 10 people for an unforgettable stay. Its vast living spaces are designed to provide optimum comfort and a welcoming atmosphere for every guest. You'll be enchanted by its facilities, in particular its large courtyard, a place for socialising and relaxing, where you can share special moments while taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Within the estate, you'll also find two other gîtes entirely independent of Gîte JADE, offering total privacy to their occupants. However, the swimming pool and games room are communal areas where you can relax and enjoy yourself in the company of other residents, creating shared memories in this enchanting setting. Every corner of Domaine du Cardou is imbued with charm and authenticity, providing an idyllic setting for a memorable getaway." ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Fenced private pool - Heated pool - Hot tub - Massage - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the city centre ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Gym - Heated pool - Table tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Double-glazed windows - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 1,776 square feet - Water-efficient showers ## Similar properties ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/82000000/81010000/81003300/81003207/446fc22b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A haven of peace between Montcuq and Lauzerte (Lot) Montcuq-en-Quercy-Blanc - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-14&endDate=2026-04-15&selected=81003207&PinnedHotelID=81003207&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool, a heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/40000000/39990600/39990576/e4d33cc3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Le Pré du Roy, 4 star-rating, amazing, 40 min from Toulouse (11-12 people) Giroussens - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 20 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-14&endDate=2026-04-15&selected=39990576&PinnedHotelID=39990576&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78180000/78173500/78173422/093373bd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Country holiday home Parisot - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-14&endDate=2026-04-15&selected=78173422&PinnedHotelID=78173422&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-14&endDate=2026-04-15&selected=68405929&PinnedHotelID=68405929&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=68405929,81003207,39990576,78173422) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 5:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### 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 are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 1 total pets Note from host: Uniquement les chiens sauf catégories 1 et 2. ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events Events allowed: family gatherings, birthday parties, weddings ### Smoking Smoking allowed: in designated areas ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

Le lieu est très beau et bien entretenu. Les propriétaires vivent sur la propriété. Malheureusement la piscine n’était pas fonctionnelle et ne semble pas être prête d’aussi tôt. Le terrain de pétanque a l’abandon est bien dommage. Pour le reste rien à redire. ##### Benjamin T.
