The house

  • Quiet, rural area with some agricultural activity

Gîte du Jardin is one of the 5 gîtes of the idyllic small-scale Domaine de Montsalvy, which is highly rated by its guests and scores no less than 9.2 out of 129 reviews on Zoover. Gîte du Jardin is a lovely gite for people who love nature, privacy and tranquillity. From the 2 large, private terraces, there are beautiful views of the adjacent meadows and forests. The terraces, which are equipped with a table with 6 chairs, 2 sun loungers, a parasol and a barbecue, also face south, allowing you to enjoy the last rays of the sun until late in the evening. The easily accessible, ground-floor gîte has a complete kitchen with dishwasher oven, large fridge, oven and 5-burner gas stove.
From the spacious living room, which includes a 6-person dining table, two armchairs, a comfortable sofa and a large LED TV, one has access to the two separate bedrooms. Also on the ground floor are the separate toilet and the bathroom with a walk-in rain shower and sink. Of course, Jardin has free WIFI in the cottage as well as on the terrace.
And when loading/unloading luggage and purchases, it's easy to park right next to the gîte.

    Wat een heerlijke en geweldige eigenaren, Theo en Ellen (Helene :-) op zijn Frans, die je gelijk het gevoel geven of je thuis bent. Wij hadden de gite Grange, een mooie gite voor 2, wel af en toe boven uitkijken voor de hoogte maar dat is bijna overal in oude schuren. Alles aanwezig en op het terrein kun je je al een week vermaken naast dat het een mooie uitvalsbasis is voor mooie trips naar de Lot en Dordogne.
    Als je ook nog wijnliefhebber bent of spirituele interesse hebt, naast tennisser of gewoon van lekker eten houdt dan is dit een aanrader. Theo en Ellen weten van bovenstaande alles en zorgen er ook nog voor dat je daar van mag en kan genieten.
    Wij komen zeker een keer terug.

    Ellen en Theo hebben ervoor gezorgd dat wij als familie met ons zevenen een geweldige vakantie hadden. Lekker eten, mooie dagtrips, goede verzorging, gezellige wandelingen rondom het mooie vakantiecomplex Domaine Montsalvy. Een vakantie om nooit te vergeten. Dank

    Leuke gîte , wij komen hier al meerdere jaren en komen hier echt tot rust . Lekker weer voor de vrouw en lekker fietsen voor de mannen. Wij hebben er weer erg van genoten en komen zeker terug volgend jaar , als het kan voor het werk , iets langer dan nu 10 dagen.

Restaurants, food & wine

A variety of estate products are available, including homemade fig, blackberry and plum jam (consisting only of fruit and preserving sugar), nut liqueur, walnuts from their own orchard, mint tea and a range of white, rosé and red wines from renowned Cahors producer Chateau Les Croisille. BBQ, pizza and tapas evenings are organised on the estate twice a week in the summer season. Outside the high season Table d'Hôtes is offered, for which the many positive reviews on Zoover can be found (http://www.zoover.nl/frankrijk/midi-pyrenees/degagnac/domaine-de-montsalvy/vakantiehuis).
The region around Cahors is known for its characteristic red wines, melons de Quercy, magret de canard, foie gras, the aromatic truffles, the slightly sweet walnuts and the delicious cheeses. All these products are available from the producers, on the many local markets (a.o. Gourdon, Cazals, Domme, Cahors) and in the supermarkets. In the vicinity there are numerous restaurants where you can taste all this delicious food; of course we are happy to advise you!
Owner Theo Drummen has a passion for wine and also organises regular wine tastings where wines are tasted blind and knowledge of wine is increased in a playful manner.

Wine and Cooking Weeks are also offered at the edges of the summer season.

Activities

Close to 'Jardin' you can swim, play tennis, table tennis, bocce, table football, volleyball, badminton, hiking and cycling.
