L' Embellie sur Lot

Nous sommes accueillis comme à la maison, une chaleur enveloppante, beaucoup de gentillesse, le goût du détail et du confort, une belle étape!

This place is really warm and friendly and makes you feel welcome. There is a menagerie of animals, a very friendly dog, two cats, a donkey, a horse, a duck and chickens. The lovely couple grow their own food and aim to live a sustainable and self sufficient life. The room was spacious and comfortable with a good bed and a nice shower. The breakfast was lovely and eaten in the kitchen next to an open fire while chatting with the owner.

Everything was good.

I spent ten wonderful days in this place full of love. Anna and Philippe are an incredibly warm, flexible, and caring couple. As I don’t drive, they kindly provided transportation to Toulouse and helped drive me around the village every day according to my needs. This truly touched me, especially since this is a place where Uber is not convenient at all. The whole family is full of love. Every day, Anna and Philippe prepared different delicious meals for me. They truly love life. Even though we did not share a common language, we somehow managed to talk about Lang Lang’s piano performances, folk music, French opera, and different cultures. They also have many lovely animals: Joyce the golden retriever, who is incredibly gentle and caring; Yorko the cat, full of personality; Divine, a beautiful white horse; Tortor the donkey; and four goats — one of them is named Charlie, which always made me smile. The garden itself is beautiful, with a 200-year-old cedar tree. In the mornings, as I wandered around the yard, chickens would run past me. Growing up in a city, I rarely had the chance to be so close to animals, or to eat apples and walnuts grown by my own hands. All in all, staying at Anna and Philippe’s home made me truly happy and allowed me to genuinely experience life in the southern French countryside. They are warm-hearted, capable, and incredibly thoughtful hosts. I highly recommend this place. Even as I write this review now, I can still feel the warmth of that time.

Très belle maison d'hôtes à la décoration particulièrement soignée, située dans un cadre bucolique où l'on peut côtoyer de nombreux animaux de la ferme. Accueil très agréable des hôtes pour qui ce projet d'hébergement est un véritable projet de vie. Petit-déjeuner délicieux fait maison et avec des produits locaux. Chambre cocooning et lit confortable avec, fait rare pour le souligner, des draps brodés.
