Free WiFi and/or ADSL connection available. The gite living area (kitchen, dining area and living room) is open-planned. It has a high ceiling with exposed roof beams and a spiral staircase which gives it a very spacious feeling. In the summer the French windows add to the spaciousness with views onto the terrace and garden. In the winter the wood burning stove gives it a warm and cozy feeling. The gite has two bedrooms, one downstairs with a double bed and one on the mezzanine floor with two single beds. Both bedrooms have large built-in cupboards. An additional bed can be provided by arrangement. The bathroom equipped with a shower - is downstairs.

If you are renting in the autumn, winter or spring you will find the gîte warm and comfortable. It is equipped with an electric central heating system, which uses oil-filled radiators to provide a gentle and pleasant heat.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Un havre de sérénité
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans le gîte de Piquetalen : le gîte est spacieux, clair et très bien entretenu ; il baigne dans un océan de verdure. Nos hôtes sont très accueillants, très sympathiques et d'une grande disponibilité. En outre le gîte est bien situé, il est proche ou peu éloigné de nombreux sites magnifiques du Tarn. Excellent séjour.

C'est une maison située dans la verdure toute équipée. La région est empreinte d'histoire et de gastronomie avec beaucoup de sites à visiter. Les proprietaires sont charmants et très attentionnés. Nous y retourneront volontiers.

Cadre idéal pour relaxer
En étant en visite sur Lavaur lors de la semaine de Noël 2019, nous avions réserver pour trois auprès des propriétaires de ce gite construit au fond de leur propriété. Le suivi en amont de la date d'arrivée a été détaillé et bien apprécier, le propriétaire m'ayant fourni des indications détaillées pour nous rendre à bon port, ainsi que les informations de contact. Nous sommes arrivés vers 19h30, un peu plus tard qu’initialement prévu ; un ami des propriétaires nous a gentiment accueillis malgré l'heure un peu tardive, nous a fait visité le gite, et après quelques indications à propos du chauffage (électrique et foyer au bois), nous a remis les clés et un beep pour le portail de la propriété afin de nous permettre d'entrer et sortir à notre guise. Belle surprise : un mot de bienvenue des propriétaires, ainsi qu'un beau cake fait maison et une bouteille de vin, nous attendaient sur la table de la cuisine. Merci ! Le gite, un pavillon composé d'une cuisine complète, d'un séjour, d'une salle de bain, et de deux chambres, est confortable et largement spacieux pour 4 personnes. Comme il est situé au fond d'un grand jardin, la distance avec la route (peu passante) a garanti des nuits paisibles sans bruit, ni dérangement. Les lits sont pourvus de draps propres, des couvertures sont disponibles dans les placards, et de serviettes pour tous. La proximité relative avec Lavaur, la "grande" ville des alentours, offre des commerces et services à tout juste 5 minutes de voiture - nous avons fait la distance un matin par plaisir, 45 min l'aller et autant pour le retour, donc une balade sur une route peu fréquenté, est tout aussi possible. Nous avons adoré notre séjour, nos hôtes nous ont superbement accueillis et ont fait en sorte que tous soit agréable en cette dernière semaine de l'année. Nous reviendrons sans aucun doute !

Calme, et bien situé
Les propriétaires sont charmants, discrets, attentionnés,. En cadeau de bienvenue : une bouteille de vin d'Ambres, belle découverte! ainsi qu'un cake délicieux. Le gîte est propre, moderne, la literie est très ferme concernant la chambre du bas. On peut se garer juste à côté du gîte qui se trouve bien isolé au bout du terrain, aucun vis à vis avec la maison des propriétaires, il est au milieu des arbres, haies, lavandes ...avec une belle terrasse abritée derrière la maison qui donne sur les champs, petit détail appréciable : les moustiquaires aux fenêtres. La région est très riche en sites touristiques, une semaine ne nous a pas suffit pour tout visiter ! Ce qui nous a le plus émerveillé : Albi, magnifique ! , Cordes sur ciel , Lautrec avec son café Plum (concerts, bonnes glaces, espace librairie, une très bonne ambiance ) Castelnau de Montmirail moins touristique mais aussi plus calme ! (arrêtez vous au baladin de la grésille , prendre une boisson et profitter de la petite terrasse panoramique, et de l'espace librairie très sympa !), randonnée dans la magnifique forêt du Sidobre, sur le sentier des merveilles avec ses rochers étranges, goûter au jambon cru de Lacaune, il est extra ! arrêtez vous à la biscuiterie Bruyère près d'Albi , biscuits salés et sucrés très bons et pas chers ! Laissez vous bercer par l'histoire passionnante de Jeanne dans le souterrain médiéval du castela,à St Sulpice la pointe, visiter le musée des vieux métiers: accès libre dans le syndicat d'initiative . Suivez la visite guidée des caves de Labastide de levis avec une généreuse dégustation de leurs vins ! Nous avons passé une semaine formidable, nous reviendrons !

Wonderful stay at Le Gite de Piquetalen
We had a wonderful stay at Anton and Rosette's Gite in the countryside. The cottage is very airy and comfortable and well equipped for cooking and relaxing. Our son loved his private room upstairs and we were very happy with our queen bedroom, as well as the open kitchen/living/dining area downstairs. We enjoyed the surrounding fields from the back porch while sipping some of the Gaillac wine we bought during our drives. The closest town to the Gite is Lavaur (10 mins) which was much larger than we thought it would be, with restaurants, bakeries, etc. On our last day, we enjoyed strolling through the large outdoor market in town (every Saturday) with our hosts while snacking on various delicacies we bought along the way. We also went to many nearby attractions including Toulouse (45 mins), the hilltop town of Cordes-Sur-Ciel (1 hour), and also spent a day seeing the Pyrenees around the town of Foix (1.5 hours). There are lots of wineries that offer tastings and sales as well as picturesque towns to explore within a half hour drive of the cottage. Rosette and Anton are wonderful hosts and offered many suggestions for activities. We would love to go back and stay at the Gite again on our next visit!

A perfect gite
A very neat , clean and spacious gite which is in a rural setting not far from Lavaur. It is an ideal base to explore the Tarn area where you will see the most breathtaking country scenery as well as numerous medieval walled cities close by in the region. Also situated some 40km from Toulouse. We got the train in to Toulouse from Lavaur to avoid the traffic and parking congestion.. 35 minutes to the centre of the city for around 6 euros. Our hosts were very friendly and gave us a number of helpful suggestions . I can't recommend this Gite highly enough.Perfect.

Un endroit chaleureux et familial
Un grand merci à Anton et Rosette qui nous ont accueilli pendant une semaine. Le logement est très agréable, tout équipé, décoré avec beaucoup de goût, et tout à fait adapté aux jeunes enfants (lit parapluie, barrière de sécurité en haut des escaliers).

About the neighbourhood
We live in a beautiful area surrounded by countryside. We are very close to Lavaur which is a small medieval town with easy access to shops and supermarkets. We are close to lots of interesting towns such as Albi, Cordes-sur-Ciel, Castres and Toulouse. And we are also close to lots of natural sites. We will be very happy to advise and give you further information.
Getting around
Although we are walking distance (30 minutes) to Lavaur we are in the countryside and a car is really a necessity. Very fit people may be able to rely on a bike - but be aware that we live on the top of a steep hill.
