Charming Occitanie Cottage with Large Private Garden and Pool - Oubax, Aveyron Reviews

Fantastic house in the beautiful Aveyron
We spent 2 weeks in Oubax & had a wonderful holiday. The house is lovely, very comfortable & certainly has the best equipped kitchen of any rental property I’ve ever stayed in. We didn’t use the TV but it was available with English & French stations & the WiFi was excellent inside & out.

The terrace, garden & pool overlook beautiful countryside which was everchanging during our visit as the farmers harvested their fields.

Although rural, shopping facilities are within easy driving distance, & there are plenty of restaurants to suit all tastes. The area has many great markets selling such fabulous fresh produce that you want to buy everything & take it back to the house & start cooking.

As well as visiting the markets, beautiful bastides & the rivers, it’s a great area for crafts - we visited a number of artisan potters & jewellery makers & watched them at work before buying.

I would highly recommend Les Portails to anyone looking to visit this region of France. It makes an excellent base for exploring but is also perfect for staying put. It’s such a good place to relax, have a swim, cook local produce, drink local wine & eat on the terrace looking out at the countryside. After all of that you sit for hours and stargaze.

Perfect.
