The grounds total 3000m² within which sits a 6m x 4m salt water pool, which reaches temperatures of 32°c in the summer. The pool has a wooden terrace partly surrounded by a lavander hedge and has large parasols and reclining loungers around it.

Situated in the Tarn et Garonne region of the Midi-Pyrenees, La Borde is just over an hour from Toulouse airport. The town of St Antonin Noble Val is just a 15 minute drive away. Here there is a wonderful street market on a Sunday. A must to browse and buy your essentials of wines and cheeses. With markets being an essential part of French life, there is always a local market nearby, every day of the week. In St Antonin you can also hire a canoe and spend a lazy day on the Aveyron. The medieval towns of Najac and Cordes-sur-Ceil are also on the doorstep.
The area is ideal for walking and cycling. There are many kilometres of well-kept, off-road tracks to explore. If fishing is your passion, the crystal clear rivers have many species including barbel, carp, trout and pike. There is also a riding stables nearby where you can explore the area on horseback.
If all of this sounds too energetic, relax on one our two large terraces with a glass of Gaillac, or take a swim in our salt-water swimming pool

Our stay at La Borde was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the serene Ginals region of France, this charming retreat is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The owners have lovingly converted an old farmhouse into a warm, inviting haven that feels more like a home than a rental. The peaceful surroundings provide an ideal backdrop for relaxation, and the beautiful local towns, like Najac, are just a short drive away. Exploring the markets in these towns was a delight, offering a taste of authentic French culture. On hot summer days, the blissfully cool swimming pool was the perfect way to unwind. Every aspect of La Borde has been thoughtfully designed, making it a truly special place to stay. We left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, and we can't wait to return.Guest rating:
A wonderful place to relax away the hectic life. Gorgeous pool. Beautiful house finished to an impeccable standard. All the necessary bits and bobs provided to make a villa holiday stress free. And the library of books is like no other!! Decent amenities a short drive away. Plenty of activities in the locality if the mood takes you. Easy drive from Toulouse airport.Guest rating:
We have stayed in this region of France several times over the past 12 years. We have rented many different properties, but La Borde is definitely at the top of our list. The house is beautiful, with everything you would need for a relaxing holiday. The pool is very well maintained and was much enjoyed during a heatwave. The beds are comfortable and all the bedrooms are large and immaculately decorated. The views from the house are breathtaking, and the area is quiet and peaceful with lots of interesting local walks. However, it is not too far from St Antonin and other towns in the area. On arrival the owners, Becky and Dave, left us a variety of essential provisions and baked us a wonderful cake. We have never received such wonderful hospitality before. We have already booked our family holiday at La Borde next year. it comes with our highest recommendation.Guest rating:
An excellent property with great facilities. Situated in a quiet rural area, holidaying here was sublimely peaceful. My daily walks took me off the beaten track to enjoy the countryside and the nature of the surrounding area. Followed by relaxing afternoons at the pool, and in evenings we enjoyed the local cuisine and of course the local wines. The hosts were brilliant and maintain the lovely property exceptionally well. Forget the beaches, this is where it is at!Guest rating:
