Many of the old architectural features have been sympathetically incorporated into the recent renovation which consequents in character and charisma radiating from every room. These old-fashioned features marry effortlessly with state-of-the-art accessories. This delightful harmony of old and new is epitomised in the old wooden sink unit topped with the latest porcelain taps.<\/p>\n<p>The ground floor\u2019s living room, sitting room and kitchen have been lovingly decorated to retain the period of when the house was built. \u00a0This traditional yet elegant marriage continues to the first floor where three fabulous double bedrooms will enthral all who feast their eyes on them. Though it has to be said that it is the master bedroom complete with a roll top bath which is likely to cause some quarrels in the \u2018dibs\u2019 stakes!<\/p>\n<p>If visitors aren\u2019t left dizzy exploring the different floors, rooms and nooks and crannies of this incredible manor\u2019s interior then wait until they explore the outside.<\/p>\n<p>It is difficult to decide what takes centre stage in La Tourrette\u2019s exterior \u2013 Is it the huge pool at 12 x 5 metres that lies adjacent to open sunshine terraces and a sprawling grass lawn? \u00a0Is it the stunning vistas of surrounding fields, valleys and woods? Or perhaps it\u2019s the covered outside dining area which looks out over the garden through delightful French arches. It has to be said that the walkway through the garden up to La Tourette\u2019s entrance covered with an arch of pendulous wisteria and honeysuckle certainly takes some beating in what\u2019s the manor\u2019s biggest wow factor.<\/p>\n<p>This magnificent manor is not far from the village of Mirandol-Bourgnonac where most provisions can be bought. With a couple of bars and restaurants, guests can experience archetypal wining and dining of this untouched corner of South Western France. A little further a field \u2013 approximately 12 kilometres &#8211; is the town of Carmaux, which is particularly interesting to visit on a Friday when the colourful and vibrant market is held. 30km away from the La Tourette is the region\u2019s capital, Albi. \u00a0Albi was declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 2010 and with the Cathedral Saint Cecile, considered to be a masterpiece of the Southern Gothic style; it\u2019s not difficult to understand why.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, pricing, availability and pictures of this breath-taking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vintagetravel.co.uk\/villa_details.cfm?p_id=1177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">manor house rental in South-West France<\/a>, click the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are looking for a manor house rental in South-West France, you will appreciate the magnificent Manor La Tourrette.\u00a0La Tourrette is an incredible French manor house from the mid-19th\u00a0century, which has been painstakingly restored to its former glory and even beyond.
