Caville
In and around the gite
The swimming pool
An interior swimming pool is on the first floor of the barn – like an eagle’s nest! It has a stunning view over the Pyrenean chain whilst being hidden from outside gaze – “see without being seen”.
Apart from its originality, the heated swimming pool with counter-current facility, means that associated activities, whether sporting or simply in terms of well-being, can be enjoyed all-year-round.
The unusual setting means that it is both ensconced in the landscape and meets comfort and safety needs – weather conditions play no part …
The games room
Equipped with a ping pong table, is a space combining relaxation and games – an ideal spot to occupy the children or perhaps a refuge for older members of the party!
The pétanque court
Standard size, offers a convivial leisure activity.

With its large open spaces, terraces and trees officially listed as ‘remarkable’, provides moments of relaxation and ‘recharge’ in a natural setting, country walks and tasting the fruits of the orchard according to the season …
