La Rivière Vacances – Large Group Holiday Home with Private Pool in L'Isle-en-Dodon, near Toulouse

LA RIVIÈRE VACANCES – BEAUTIFUL GROUP HOLIDAY HOME NEAR TOULOUSE

Welcome to La Rivière Vacances, a wonderfully spacious former farmhouse set amongst the rolling countryside of the Haute-Garonne, close to the Gascony border and approximately one hour from Toulouse and the Pyrenees.

Offering around 515m² of accommodation, 10 bedrooms and space for up to 23 guests, La Rivière has been designed for people who want to spend time together without ever feeling crowded.

With its private swimming pool, extensive gardens, large covered dining terrace, multiple living areas, games facilities and independent cottage, this is an exceptional setting for large family holidays, reunions, celebrations and holidays with friends.

La Rivière is equally well suited to corporate seminars, yoga and wellness retreats, artistic and writing retreats, workshops and intimate weddings and celebrations for up to 40 guests. The property does not have a conventional wedding reception hall, but its spacious living areas and extensive covered terrace provide an attractive and informal alternative for smaller events.

A SPACIOUS HOME FOR LARGE GROUPS

La Rivière has the warmth and character of a much-loved family home rather than a conventional group accommodation centre.

There are numerous spaces where guests can gather together, as well as quieter corners for reading, relaxing or simply enjoying a little privacy.

At the heart of the house is a large open-plan living space combining a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and comfortable lounge.

Additional living spaces include several lounges, a 70-inch Smart TV, games areas, library and mezzanine spaces with French and American-style pool tables.

With sofas, books, DVDs, toys and board games available, there is plenty to entertain guests of all ages.

Additional travel cot and extra-bed options provide further flexibility depending upon the composition of the group.

The property can accommodate up to 23 guests, although the owners ask larger groups to discuss their requirements when booking.

LARGE KITCHEN & GROUP DINING

La Rivière has been designed to make catering for a large group as straightforward and sociable as possible.

The spacious kitchen is extensively equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, refrigerators, freezer, dishwasher, coffee-making facilities, Nespresso machine, kettle, toaster and plenty of cookware, crockery and cutlery.

Guests who would rather take a break from cooking can ask for recommendations for local caterers and restaurants offering takeaway or delivery.

Even better, the local bakery can arrange delivery of freshly baked bread and pastries for breakfast.

80M² COVERED TERRACE

One of the highlights of La Rivière is its enormous shaded covered terrace overlooking the gardens and swimming pool.

With a large dining table accommodating approximately 22 guests, it is an ideal setting for leisurely breakfasts, long lunches, evening meals and celebrations.

The covered setting means guests can continue enjoying outdoor dining even when the weather is less cooperative.

PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL & LARGE GARDENS

Outside, La Rivière is surrounded by a large, private and unoverlooked garden, with countryside and fields stretching beyond the property.

At the centre of the outdoor space is the private 10m x 5m swimming pool, equipped with a child-safety cover.

The extensive grounds offer plenty of space for both relaxation and games, with facilities including:

• Private swimming pool
• Sun loungers
• Table tennis
• Trampoline
• Children's swing and play equipment
• Pétanque
• Barbecue
• Garden furniture
• Outdoor games
• Large lawns
• Shaded relaxation areas

The setting makes it particularly appealing for multi-generational family holidays where adults and children can enjoy their own activities without leaving the property.

PERFECT FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN

Families are extremely well catered for.

La Rivière provides an excellent selection of baby and children's equipment, including cots, highchairs and changing facilities, together with toys, books, DVDs and board games.

The aim is to allow families to travel considerably lighter while still having everything required for younger guests.

RETREATS, SEMINARS & GROUP EVENTS

La Rivière is much more than a traditional holiday rental.

Its size, flexible accommodation and peaceful countryside setting make it particularly suitable for:

• Yoga retreats
• Wellness weekends
• Corporate seminars
• Team gatherings
• Writing retreats
• Artistic retreats
• Workshops and courses
• Birthday celebrations
• Family reunions
• Special occasions
• Intimate weddings

Small weddings and celebrations can accommodate up to approximately 40 guests, with the large living space and covered terrace providing the principal gathering and dining areas.

YOGA & WELLNESS RETREATS

La Rivière also hosts dedicated yoga and wellness weekends, creating an opportunity to escape everyday routines and enjoy several restorative days in the South of France.

Retreat programmes can incorporate yoga, meditation, conscious breathing, massage, Reiki, sound healing, relaxation and walks in the surrounding countryside.

Fresh seasonal meals can form part of the experience, alongside periods of rest and activities designed around relaxation and wellbeing.

Specific retreat dates, programmes and prices vary, so guests interested in joining or organising a retreat should enquire directly.

EXPLORE HAUTE-GARONNE, GASCONY & THE PYRENEES

Despite its peaceful countryside position, La Rivière is within walking distance of L'Isle-en-Dodon, a traditional small town with a Saturday market, bars and restaurants. The property's own website describes the centre as around a 15-minute walk away.

The surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, canoeing, climbing, golf and horse riding, while picturesque villages, traditional markets, historic churches and châteaux provide plenty of possibilities for day trips.

The Pyrenees are within reach for mountain excursions and seasonal skiing, while Toulouse is approximately an hour away.

Guests are provided with a detailed local guide containing recommendations for activities, places to visit and restaurants ranging from simple local establishments to gastronomic dining.

A HOME DESIGNED FOR TIME TOGETHER

Above all, La Rivière Vacances is about bringing people together.

Whether planning a summer holiday with several families, a milestone birthday, a reunion, a creative workshop or a peaceful wellness retreat, the property combines the space and facilities required for a large group with the warmth and informality of a genuine French country home.
