About this property

Idyllic house in rural hamlet with lovely views, garden and private pool.

Built as a farmhouse in the mid-19th century, Bladanel is set on a ridge overlooking the beautiful Courbiac valley and with panoramic views of the 13th century Bastide town of Tournon situated high on an outcrop of rock. Tournon is 2-3km away with shops, bank, pharmacy, and good restaurants.
Bladanel is quiet and peaceful, with delightful and helpful French and Dutch neighbours. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, dotted with picturesque villages, farms and, of course, vinyards. The night sky is just magnificent; not a streetlight to be seen!

A lovely place to stay.

Bladanel is a great holiday venue with a lovely swimming pool and beautiful views. We saw wild deer on the land and several birds of prey. Despite being very early in the season we were cosy. There is a lovely living room with a good wood burner. The property manager and owner were really helpful and checked in with us that all was okay at the property. Bladanel is well located with the bastide of Tournon d'Agenais just five minutes drive away and other bastide towns within a short distance. We will definitely return!

Quaint cottage in idyllic setting

The house itself is just stunning: rustic in appearance and decor, but containing all you could possibly need. Our only criticism was that there was little to cool the bedrooms on very hot nights (though we were there during the heatwave). The location is also stunning: the house sits on the side of a hill, with amazing views of the valley below. Be aware though that there is another property next door, only feet away. The pool is of a great size but the area around it, for seating, is rather basic. The area is very quiet, rural with small, but very lovely, villages. The owner was helpful and quick to respond to messages. All in all, we very much enjoyed our stay at Bladanel and would definitely recommend the house for those who are looking for peace and quiet.

Charmante demeure dans un cadre superbe

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cette jolie maison avec un merveilleux paysage. Le calme et la sérénité sont ici au rendez vous et donc une prestation correspondant à notre attente. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié nos hôtes toujours à notre écoute et la piscine avec une vue imprenable sur le champs de noisetiers et toute la campagne environnante.

About the host

Hosted by Roger Thomas

Host profile image
Roger & Jackie Thomas have owned Bladanel since 1995. We visit for a month twice a year and just love it there. Our neighbours, French and Dutch, are delightful and have all visited us at our home near Edinburgh. From there it's a good 2-day drive to Bladanel, but well worth it!

Why they chose this property

Bladanel is very quiet and peaceful, with splendid views of valleys on both front and back. There are as many farm tractors as cars on the road and almost always a wave as they pass by. The nearby 13th C town is some 2km away with boulangerie, alimentation (general store), butcher, cafe, restaurants, bank and pharmacie. Supermarkets are some 10km away in Fumel and Montagu de Quercy, where there is a market every Saturday morning. There are three vinyards within 3-4 km where you can buy directly.

What makes this property unique

Relaxation guaranteed. Not a streetlight nor nightclub in sight! Very friendly and helpful (if needed) French and Dutch neighbours. Evening highlights include watching the farmer's cows making their own way back to the byre in the valley below!
There is a 10x5m swimming pool that is also heated if required; there is an an extra weekly €50 charge to cover the costs of electricity for the pool heater. Not normally needed in high summer!
