A traditional stone built Quercy farmhouse and barn in the idyllic Lot countryside 
Berty Gite, all on one level, has its own entrance, on to the garden. It sleeps up to 7 in 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms.
Facing onto the extensive gardens, with plenty of space for family games, the gite benefits from lovely views over the surrounding rolling countryside.
Immediately outside is a patio, with dining table and chairs, where you can enjoy your meals, listening to birdsong and the chirping of frogs and crickets.
The gite is comfortably furnished and superbly equipped. We make a point of ensuring that you have comfort and convenience and respond to guests' suggestions for improvements.
The thick stone walls keep the guest house deliciously cool in summer, and the wood burning stove will take the chill off spring and autumn evenings.
Only minutes from Montcuq, in the heart of Quercy Blanc, this is an ideal 'home from home' and the perfect base for exploring this delightful region of South West France.

The pool is solar heated and should be a comfortable temperature for swimming from May through to late September.
