Demeure Belle Vue | 4-Bedroom Villa with Spa in Goas

Eight guests. Four bedrooms. A limestone dual-property compound straddling a medieval village perched on a hill that commands views toward the Pyrenees on clear days. This is Demeure Belle Vue, a rarely accessible slice of Occitan countryside in Tarn-et-Garonne, where the landscape rolls in waves of green and the nearest neighbour is likely to be a centuries-old stone wall.

Inside Demeure Belle Vue

Demeure Belle Vue sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed across two connected historic properties that tell the story of rural French architecture across different eras. The larger main house anchors the compound on its ground floor with a triple-aspect living and dining space—woodburning stove warming the sitting area, dining table seating ten, and full-width French doors opening directly onto the south-facing garden. The kitchen runs open-plan here too, anchored by a substantial island with breakfast bar, and equipped with the kind of practical abundance that makes group cooking genuinely manageable: commercial-grade oven, gas hob, hot drawer, generous fridge and freezer, plus a Nespresso machine and dedicated wine fridge housed in an adjacent utility room. A ground-floor double bedroom (160x200cm) with en-suite walk-in shower serves guests who prefer not to navigate stairs, paired with a separate guest WC.

Climb to the first floor and the character intensifies. A lounge area with television and board games sits separated by a decorative screen from a study nook—the kind of flexible space that works equally well for a teenager’s movie night or a quiet work corner. The master bedroom dominates this level: queen bed (160x200cm), generous windows framing countryside views, sitting area, walk-in wardrobe, and a bathroom that spans nearly half the room with both freestanding bath and walk-in shower, dual vanities, and bidet. A second first-floor bedroom maintains similar proportions with sloped ceilings (the building’s age shows here), queen bed, and en-suite shower room.

The companion house—the smaller property built literally into the old fortified village walls—operates as a semi-independent unit. Ground level contains an open-plan lounge with wood stove and dining furniture, plus a fully equipped kitchen. Ascend a spiral staircase to find a mezzanine with sofa and reading corner furnished with two child-sized beds (80x180cm), ideal for younger children who want their own space but remain close to parents. Descend by the same staircase to the lower floor, where a double bedroom (160x200cm) occupies what was historically a stable—complete with original stable doors that swing outward onto a flower bed at the village’s edge. This atmospheric room includes its own walk-in shower and WC.

Tactile details matter here: William Morris linens, high-end Parisian towels, premium toiletries in every bathroom, a welcome hamper featuring local wine, artisanal biscuits, jam selections, tea, and Nespresso pods. Wi-Fi connects both properties. Hairdryers, washing machines, a clothes dryer, supplementary freezers, DVD library (adult and children’s selections), board games, and even a baby play pen come standard.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The grounds unfold across two distinct levels, each serving a different mood. The primary south-facing garden rises above the country lane below, protected by fencing, with expansive views across the Lomagne countryside stretching toward the Pyrenean foothills. A wooden pergola anchors this space above a dining table for ten, transforming meals into an event. A plancha-style barbecue sits ready for evening cooking, the smoke drifting across gardens filled with flowers that bloom through spring and summer.

A separate corner terrace on the lower level provides an outdoor lounge area—think of it as a secondary living room that faces the rolling fields. This is where morning coffee tastes like something else entirely, where the silence is punctuated only by birdsong and the occasional sounds of the village above. Note: the owner is currently planning installation of a small raised plunge pool, anticipated for late spring 2024—perfect for cooling off during the warm southern French summer.

Location: A Midi-Pyrenees Village on the Tarn-et-Garonne Border

Demeure Belle Vue occupies one of those rare French locations where time operates differently. The property sits within a restored medieval village in Tarn-et-Garonne, approximately 60km northwest of Toulouse, positioned just within the region’s border with the Gers department. Cars remain parked 50m away at the village entrance—only residents navigate the narrow cobbled streets—which means eight days here happen on foot, at the pace of genuine relaxation.

Two kilometres distant, a neighbouring village houses a restaurant, boulangerie, greengrocer, café-bar, and the village square where summer night markets run through July and August. Just outside that village sits a seasonal Leisure Centre (Base de Loisirs) operating during summer months, featuring a public swimming pool, water slides, mini-golf, ping-pong, trampolines, and pétanque courts. For families, this proves invaluable on days when water-based entertainment becomes necessary.

Sarrant, classified as one of France’s “Plus Beaux Villages,” lies just 5km away—half-timbered houses and cobbled thoroughfares that deserve a morning or afternoon wander. Beaumont-de-Lomagne (12km) represents the region’s market-town anchor: restaurants, shops, a supermarket on the outskirts, and a 14th-century wooden market hall where the Saturday morning market still operates in the traditional manner. Saint-Clar (17km) earned its reputation through white garlic production; its Thursday morning market remains the place to source regional produce. Mauvezin (11km) hosts its own Monday market on an impressive village square, while Auvillar (38km)—another classified Plus Beau Village—features a remarkable 19th-century circular market hall and commands views across the surrounding countryside that stretch for kilometres.

Cross into the Gers department and discover Fleurance (24km) and Lectoure (32km), both built around bustling regional markets brimming with foie gras, duck, Agen prunes, melons, regional cheeses, Armagnac, and local wines. The trio of idyllic Gers villages—Fourcès, Montréal, and Larressingle—occupy positions roughly 70km distant (just over an hour’s drive), each offering distinct medieval character. Condom (55km) provides a riverside counterpoint: handsome architecture and restaurant quality that justifies the drive.

For activity-seekers, hiking along the Chemin de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle (the Santiago pilgrim route passes near Fleurance), horseback riding, wine-tasting at local estates, summer sailing at Lac de Thoux Saint-Cricq (17km), and water-skiing near L’Isle-Jourdain (28km) offer genuine variety.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families of 6-8 seeking meaningful time together benefit most from Demeure Belle Vue’s dual-property layout—teenage children or grandparents can inhabit the smaller house while parents occupy the main property, creating independence within proximity. Multi-generational groups appreciate ground-floor accessibility and the lack of excessive internal stairs; the smaller house’s lower-level bedroom works particularly well for mobility concerns.

Groups of friends gravitate here for summer weeks when the region’s markets, villages, and activities provide framework without demanding itineraries. The presence of cooking facilities, Nespresso machine, and optional cooking classes means food-focused groups can collaborate on meals rather than perpetually dining out. Couples seeking immersion in authentic French countryside (not beach tourism) find the location and property scale ideally matched to genuine relaxation rather than resort activity.

Families with children—particularly ages 4-14—appreciate the water park facilities just 2km away, the mini-golf and trampolines at the leisure centre, village markets where children can select produce, and the quiet safety of pedestrian-only village streets. The board games, DVD library with children’s content, and outdoor garden spaces occupy young minds effectively during downtime.

May, June, and September provide equally pleasant weather with fewer crowds. October remains mild and excellent for hiking and market visits.
