<\/p>\nIf you are looking for exquisite accommodation in South-West France that can sleep larger parties of up to eight guests, then look no further than the beautiful rural house that goes by the name of La S\u00e9r\u00e9nit\u00e9.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This exceptionally pretty stone-clad four-bedroom, three-bathroom farmhouse is nestled on the side of the hill at the end of a tranquil valley, not far from the medieval bastide of Najac. This beautifully-restored farmhouse is brimming with characterful and original features, including exposed stone walls and wooden beams overhead. Its traditional bucolic style is enlivened with a modern twist, with strikingly designed tiles underfoot.<\/p>\n
Guests staying in the two bedrooms on the top floor of La S\u00e9r\u00e9nit\u00e9\u00a0can enjoy sleeping amongst the wooden rafters, a fabulous feature of this charming farmhouse. For parties comprising of guests wanting their own degree of privacy, a pretty double bedroom has its own access to the garden and the property\u2019s private pool.<\/p>\n
Externally, La S\u00e9r\u00e9nit\u00e9\u00a0is as delightful as its interior, with a dining terrace framed by two ancient walnut trees, providing some much-needed shade from the sun. Similarly, a huddle of ash trees, which are lit up after dusk, provide shade near the pool area.<\/p>\n
La S\u00e9r\u00e9nit\u00e9\u2019s heating swimming pool makes the most of the incredible views that surround the farmhouse, that stretch across Aveyron river gorges, lined by a maze of verdant forests and fields, offering a beautiful contrast to the cobalt and often cloudless sky above.<\/p>\n
Just 3km from La S\u00e9r\u00e9nit\u00e9\u00a0is the village of La Fouillade, home to a couple of cafes and shops. Slightly further afield, 6km from La S\u00e9r\u00e9nit\u00e9, is the perched bastide of Najac. Poised along a long rocky ridge, Najac is essentially made up of a single street with an imposing ch\u00e2teau at one end.<\/p>\n
