Souquet Haut

An ancient farmhouse deep in the Quercy Blanc

Welcome to Souquet Haut, a much-loved rural retreat from everyday life, buried deep in the French countryside. An elegant family holiday home, Souquet Haut offers the chance to slow down, unwind and enjoy a gentler pace of life in a beautiful rural location. Lovingly restored and enjoyed by the owners for 20 years, this charming old house provides fabulous accommodation for up to 15 guests.  

 

The House

Sitting high on the side of a fertile valley with oak woods behind and long views to the south and the west, Le Souquet is situated in 2 acres of garden and surrounded by rolling farmland and woods. The house offers a tranquil retreat for families or groups of adults from busy, noisy lives.

The Interiors

Beautifully refurbished, Souquet Haut has been the much-loved holiday home of the same family for nearly 20 years. Sleeping up to 15 people, it is the perfect place for both a multi-generational holiday and for those seeking a calmer, more civilised getaway.

The Region

Le Souquet is situated in the heart of the Quercy Blanc region. Reached by a 800m long private drive the house is secluded and surrounded by nature. The closest village is the delightful Castelnau-Montratier about 4 miles away, with historic Cahors a 30 minute drive. Toulouse is 1 hour 20 minutes

 

“Souquet Haut gave us the most wonderful week as a family - it truly is the perfect holiday home”

“The romance of the house was palpable… the home has a heart and also a huge amount of hospitality”

The little single bedroom. Has the best light and is the most romantic room in the house. We think. Others might argue the main bedroom with its views or the big sitting room with the huge fireplace beat it. ❤️

The kitchen really is the heart of this house. It’s where we all gather, noisy meals, foot traffic passing through on the way to the pool, hot evenings cooking, listening to music, dancing.
A peaceful spot in the main bedroom. It has dual aspect windows that look down the valley for miles and the room always has the most gorgeous light in the early morning and evening. #holidayhome #frenchgetaway #frenchholidayrental
