La Felicite | 8-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Puylagarde Loze

Fourteen guests arrive at dusk. Seven bedrooms unfold across restored stone buildings. The Pyrénées foothills glow amber on the horizon. This is La Felicite in Puylagarde, a converted 16th-century farmstead in the heart of Tarn et Garonne where scaled luxury means space, not formality, and where a family or multi-generational group finds exactly what it needs without compromise.

Inside La Felicite

La Felicite sleeps 18 guests across 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, split between the main residence and three annexed outbuildings. Each sleeping arrangement reflects thoughtful design rather than cramped density.

The main house grounds you first. On the ground floor, a living-dining space anchored by a wood-burning stove and satellite television opens to a four-metre dining table—the kind of surface that makes family meals an event rather than a chore. Children claim the adjacent playroom, furnished with dressing-up costumes, board games, and a Blu-ray player loaded with films. The kitchen runs to professional standards: induction hob, Nespresso machine, ice-making refrigerator, dishwasher, and a Bosch oven that responds to actual cooking, not just reheating. Air-conditioning keeps the space cool even during August peaks. A utility room handles the logistics of 18 people—washing machine, dryer, and a second dishwasher ensure laundry never becomes a bottleneck.

The ground-floor bedrooms anchor practicality. One holds a super king-size bed with French doors opening to the courtyard. Another offers twin beds. A shared shower room with walk-in rainfall shower serves both rooms, ideal for younger children or visiting couples who prefer ground-level convenience.

Climb the internal stairs. The master bedroom occupies the first floor with air-conditioning, a super king bed, and an en suite that justifies the word ‘luxe’: rolltop bath positioned for soaking, walk-in rain shower, separate WC. Next door, a children’s bedroom features air-conditioning and custom-built bunk beds complete with slide and tunnel—the sort of detail that makes children forget screens exist for an entire week. A small WC services this wing.

Step outside the main house via external stairs and you enter La Pigeonnière, annexe one. This intimate space wraps around a sofa area with wood-burning fire and another rolltop bath. Climb the wooden open-tread stairs to a mezzanine bedroom with super king bed and air-conditioning. A shower room with walk-in rain shower and WC completes it.

Bread Oven annexe two stands opposite, a separate building holding a super king bedroom with en suite shower, walk-in rain, and WC. Air-conditioning included.

Grain Store annexe three, positioned adjacent to the main house, combines flexibility. A sofa area anchors the ground level. Children occupy the bunkbed bedroom. Climb steep internal stairs to a low-ceiling mezzanine holding a super king bed. Below, an en suite family bathroom features both rolltop bath and walk-in rain shower, plus WC.

The converted barn operates as a secondary hub. Shower and changing facilities support pool use. A fitness area houses boxing equipment, kettlebells, yoga mats, and weighted ropes—the kind of setup that transforms a rainy afternoon into something useful. A games mezzanine holds darts, pool table, and table football. The entire space converts into event accommodation with prior arrangement.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The grounds spread across manicured lawns and semi-wild garden. The heated salt-water pool measures 14 metres by 5 metres, with a separate paddling area 3 metres by 5 metres set at 30 centimetres depth—genuinely safe for toddlers. Water temperature holds at 26°C from April through October. An automatic rigid safety cover protects when not in use.

Stone terrace spaces ring the pool, furnished with loungers and shade structures. A built-in BBQ anchors al-fresco dining. A fire pit creates the sort of gathering point where evenings extend into starlit conversations—the rural dark here is genuine, no light pollution interfering with the Milky Way.

Children’s play infrastructure includes climbing frame, slide, swing, and climbing wall. Badminton equipment leans against the stone barn. A football net claims one lawn corner. Table tennis sits under cover. Boules sets and rounders equipment stay ready. An orchard hammock invites afternoon dozing.
