Some of life's wonderful experiences are tranquil, authentic and charming. L'Envolée Sauvage embodies them all. As a family we truly enjoyed our calm mornings and serene evenings at this hidden gem in the French countryside. From swimming under the stars to listening to the birds and sleeping in, it was all perfectly possible. Hosts Catherine and Nicolas are very kind and discreet. They provided great suggestions for discovering the area, including all things we appreciate during our holidays: nature, history, culture, art and food. We recommend l'Envolée Sauvage as it has everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. Tasteful decor, lovely beds, pleasant spaces, a beautiful garden and an amazing pool. And that one thing one can never truly describe as it can only be experienced: a sense of beautiful peacefulness that made us feel right at home.

Gorgeous property. Great hosts and beautifully decorated rooms.

The property adjoins the host’s house, but they are extremely discreet and you barely see them other than pottering about feeding the chickens etc. and they are extremely nice people. The pool is heated, salt water with an electric cover so very easy to use. The rooms are not connected internally, so you do need to go outside to go in and out of the rooms. Except the master which is connected internally to the kitchen/living area, and one room is up a small stair case to the side of the property. None of this mattered to us, it made it more charming and my children enjoyed the independence. The area is fab with lots of activities within half an hours drive. There is a friendly cat which delighted my whole family. The beds, linens and towels were beautiful. Luxury and the beds were big and comfortable. We ate most evenings at the table on the gravelled area, enjoying the stars, there is a great bbq which we used a lot. And sat by the pool in the evening. It is a gated property so felt very secure, although in that area it wasn’t a concern it’s a very gentle sleepy area. Can’t recommend more highly. It’s a beautiful place and we will be going back

We had a really lovely time! The rooms are nicely furnished, the kitchen well equipped, and the pool is a delight. We especially enjoyed barbequeing and sitting outside late at night under the stars! Lovely rural location but lots of villages and town to visit nearby too. Highly recommended.

1 semaine à la campagne au calme

Nous avons passé de très bons moments à l envolée sauvage. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la gentillesse des propriétaires, leurs attentions régulières et leur discrétion. La dimension de la piscine au sel est parfaite pour ceux qui aiment nager. Merci encore à nos hôtes !

Un séjour enchanteur

La semaine que nous avons passée avec notre petite fille à l'envolée sauvage restera un très beau souvenir de vacances. C'est un endroit unique qui rassemble tout le confort que l'on peut souhaiter, une belle piscine et un contact de proximité avec la nature et les animaux du domaine. Le gîte est très bien situé, dans un endroit très calme, à proximité de Cordes-sur-Ciel, Albi, Castelnau de Montmirail qui sont des endroits incroyables à visiter. L'accueil de Catherine Nicolas a été fantastique et nous avons apprécié leur gentillesse, toutes les attentions qu'ils nous ont témoignées et leur discrétion.

Beauté & magie des lieux!

Nous avons séjourné 2 semaines en famille (2 ad + 2 ados) à l'Envolée Sauvage & nous y avons passé d'excellentes vacances, ressourçantes et bienfaisantes. Le cadre de la propriété est magnifique, nature, faune & flore y sont paisiblement préservés par Catherine et Nicolas. La maison est très confortable, la propreté & la maintenance irréprochables, tout cela agencé avec beaucoup de goût et de délicatesse. La literie est EXCELLENTE, ce qui est rarement le cas sur un lieu de villégiature. L’extérieur est entièrement équipé pour les repas (que nous avons tous passés dehors ), pour la farniente & pour profiter de belles soirées d’été sous les étoiles. La piscine est très grande et très bien exposée, et de nombreux fauteuils et bains de soleil permettent de se reposer tout en profitant de cet espace confidentiel. Les environs immédiats de la propriété permettent de profiter directement au départ de la maison de nombreux chemins à travers les champs & les collines alentours. Enfin, l’accueil et la générosité de Catherine & Nicolas, en font un lieu où il fait bon vivre, en harmonie avec la nature. Quel bonheur de découvrir sur la table de la terrasse un plat rempli de tomates parfumées, de prunes, des œufs des poules… Merci à Catherine et Nicolas pour ces délicates attentions ! Nous recommandons vivement cette adresse au cachet exceptionnel. Blandine, Thomas, Mathias & Arthur.

Un écrin pour se ressourcer

Le séjour à été très agréable, la piscine est assurément l'une des plus belles (ne serait ce que par sa longueur et les arbres qui la bordent) dont nous avons pu profiter sans nos différentes locations ; les propriétaires sont très accueillants et discrets à la fois et partagent les produits de leur potager. L'aménagement du gîte permet de passer des moments en commun tout en ayant de l'autonomie pour chacune des chambres Quant à la région, les amoureux d'histoire, de belles pierres, de gastronomie et de terroir seront comblés

Calme, décoration raffinée et très grande piscine

Maison calme ( nous avions loué la totalité du gite soit les 3 chambres) et décorée avec goût avec très agréable grande piscine. Très gentilles attentions de la part de la propriétaire ( œufs frais de ses poules quasiment tous les jours, figues, tomates, raisins ) et propriétaire très rapidement réactive à nos demandes. Propriétaires discrets malgré la mitoyenneté de leur maison. Pour information : pas de vrai parking .

Catherine et Nicolas sont très attentifs au bien-être de leurs hôtes, et ceci en toute discrétion. Deux personnes charmantes avec qui nous avons eu plaisir à discuter.
