There are four Gites at Le Poujols which have been fashioned from a Traditional Quercy Stone Barn. Each gite is completely self contained and they are comfortably furnished and well equipped. Gite Lavande is cosy and compact with an open plan kitchen/living/dining room and one bedroom with double bed. There is a shower room with glass shower enclosure and basin and a WC. The kitchen is fully equipped with electric oven and four ring electric hob, plus a microwave, toaster, coffee maker, kettle fridge and dishwasher and all cutlery, crockery glasses and cooking utensils.

In addition, there is a communal covered barbeque area and summer kitchen, overlooking the pool, where you will find tourist information, a selection of books and games and a lovely place to relax and socialise in the setting evening sun. The communal area also houses a washing machine available for the use of the guests, a small charge applies as water is precious and is metered. Detergent is supplied. Gite Lavande has electric heating and is suitable all year round. The four properties share the pool, which is fenced and alarmed with terrace and decking. Sun loungers with cushions, and parasols are provided for the comfort of our guests.
