2 Bedroom Accommodation In Toulonjac

Away from the crowds this tastefully renovated, spacious, stone house is in the village of Toulonjac in the Aveyron. The swimming pool has been built within the walls of an old roofless stone barn giving it complete seclusion and protection, and the garden has terraces both covered and uncovered giving you alternatives according to the weather and position of the sun. As well as relaxing on the terraces there is plenty to do in the vicinity from markets to caves to castles to sports to cafés and restaurants.
