Le Mûrier de Viels

Just 3 miles from bustling Figeac, nestled among a forest of trees and up a snaking narrow entrance road, lies Le Murier de Viels. It was a farm once, so the accommodation for guests is in several well-converted, and very sturdy, thick stone-built farm buildings. The swimming pool is down some steps to a lower level of the hotel, so not for use by anyone with a walking disability. Peace and tranquility await you from the very start. And eating an evening meal expertly and deliciously prepared by Oz, the co-proprietor with his charming wife, Josephine, is taken on the terrace overlooking the wooded valley and Aveyron river below. Josephine was very helpful with local touring tips, which we found most helpful. Just ask and she knows the answer to most of your questions. Overall, good value for money and a safe, pleasant place to stay. But you will need your own transport.

Very good hotel on a hill in the woods with a nice and friendly staff. Next to it was a very good restaurant. The enthousiastic cook has prepared a very good dinner of which all the products were fresh and local. A very good experience.

The hosts were so helpful and gave us such a warm welcome. We had dinner there both nights and it was delicious!! We loved the location - perfect for visiting all the lively towns nearby.
