This charming dovecote restoration will delight honeymooners or couples seeking a romantic break. Situated in an elevated position and surrounded by rolling countryside, it is constructed from gleaming golden stone and features a most distinctive tall turreted roof.
Inside, it is clear that much thought has contributed to the design: in order to maximise a sense of space, the living accommodation is all open plan and enjoys a stone floor, some exposed stone walls and wood beams supporting the high ceiling. The kitchen sits to the rear, with a breakfast bar and dining table. An open tread wooden stairway with elaborate metal work banister detailing leads to the first floor where the double bed takes centre stage. The bed head mirrors the banister, being of similarly ornate wrought iron. Storage space has been created behind the bed, with the yellow tiled shower room located just behind.
Le Colombier is just under 2km from Castelnau-de-Lévis, which has a restaurant, whilst essential supplies can be found in nearby Marssac-sur-Tarn (8km). Head west to the riverside town of Gaillac with its vineyards and wine domaines and head north to Cordes-sur-Ciel, the pretty hilltop town where the steep walk up to the village square is rewarded with a fantastic view over the surrounding countryside.
And finally be sure to visit Albi, just 7km to the east, the beautiful red brick city where, at its heart, a carpet of red roofs surrounds the immense bulk and soaring tower of the cathedral, built to imitate the one in Toulouse. Be sure to visit the beautiful walled cathedral gardens, so peaceful with their rose arbours, 18th century statues, plane trees and fountain, stroll down to the Tarn where the 11th century Pont Vieux is said to be the oldest bridge in France and take in the art collection of Albi's most famous artist, Toulouse-Lautrec.
