Guestbook

Unbelievable scenery wherever you travel around the area. A must is a kayak down the River Tarn. Great fun and beautiful scenery. So many I teresting places to visit and a great location for the gite, and of course our fabulous hosts Jon and Jo who cannot do enough for you. The gite is so well equipped and homely, can't wait to return!!

Hoewel het weer uitgerekend deze week erg fris was, hebben we een fijne week doorgebracht in La Violette. De sfeer voelde goed en authentiek! De hosts hebben ons erg vriendelijk ontvangen en waren altijd bereid informatie te geven indien nodig. Alles was aanwezig in de gite. Het startpakket met koffie, baquette, boter, eieren etc was een welkome verrassing!
De plek van de gite tussen de boerderijen, het geweldig mooie uitzicht, de ruige en toch lieflijke omgeving ...alles maakte het tot een beleving. De Aveyron is zeer de moeite waard om te bezoeken! De gite is dan ook een mooie uitvalsbasis om deze streek te ontdekken.
Wij hebben genoten van deze week!
Thank you very much, Joanne en Jon!

La Cardabelle

This was our second time staying at La Caze gites, the first was in La Violette and this time in La Cardabelle. All we can say is what an amazing place to holiday and get some rest and relaxation. We love the views, the gites (which are very well equipped, clean and comfortable) and the fact there is a pool to lounge around.
Jon & Joanne are amazing hosts, they are helpful and knowledgeable about the surrounding places to visit and see and have gone out of their way to make the gites a temporary home from home.
We will be back but thank you for yet again, such an amazing holiday with great memories.

Very nice place, very nice hosts, thanks a lot!

Gîte agréable, bien équipé, très belle vue sur la campagne environnante, et super piscine ! Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Merci beaucoup à Joanne et Jon pour leur accueil !

La Violette

Wij hebben genoten van ons verblijf in La violette. Goed uitgeruste Gite. Joanne en Jon zijn geweldige gastheren. Jon is een zeer goed kok.
Fantastisch uitzichten, zwembad en een mooie omgeving.

We had a wonderful stay at Joanne and Jon's place - so beautiful, comfortable and welcoming. This is a wonderful location to do lots of outdoor activities, or to do nothing but soak in the view and rest. Lovely hosts who made us feel very at home - perfect for a family holiday.

Joanne and Jon are great and very nice. Always available to answer to our questions. The place is amazing with beautiful landscape. We had a good time. the boys loved it!! We will come back for sure

What can we say more than the previous guests? The gite is wonderful, very complete. We just missed a small table, and for Jon our wish is his command. After a few days there was a small table. Joanne and Jon are fantastic hosts. The area is great, the view marvellous and the pool is a good and clean place. This was our 2nd time at La Caze Gites perhaps we'll want to come a 3rd time....

An amazing, relaxing and beautiful gite. Equipped with everything you need and a lovely pool. Warm and welcoming hosts. Sitting outside and listening to the sweet tweets of the various bird life was a real treat. We had Jon Cook for us one night and it was a superb 4 course meal catering for our varied dietary needs. Highly recommended!

We have all had the best time staying in this amazing place. Fantastic gite, with everything you could ask for. It was our first time visiting this beautiful area. The views! The pool! Just such a great holiday. Our first with our 8 month old granddaughter. Joanne and Jon are fantastic hosts. We'll be back for sure.

Thank you for your helpful and considerate hosting. We loved the swimming pool especially in the high temperatures. The kayaking was just the best trip and the restaurant at Brousse le Chateau impeccable. A lovely stay!

Gite très agréable, bien équipé et chaleureux. Difficile de quitter la piscine, son came et sa vue. Ideal avec des enfants aussi avec beaucoup de jeux à disposition. La region est Jolie avec plein d'activites de plein air. Nous avons passé un agréable séjour, merci.

Once again our stay at La Caze, was a surely wonder! In the heat the pool was greatly appreciated. Jon and Joanne were wonderfully welcoming and our stay was lovely and relaxing. We are, all greatly looking forward to returning next year.

Absolutely fantastic property in a great location with fantastic views. Lovely hosts.
Having a stocked fridge was a great touch too We loved the gite and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay with Joanne and Jon. Clean and well equipped gite. Everything you need to cook at home or go for a picnic. Good place to just hang out at the pool with the kids or explore the beautiful surroundings. Lots to see and eat. We have built some really good memories. Thanks Joanne and Jon!

We have had a marvellous time in La Cardabelle this week. Joanne and Jon are fantastic hosts and really looked after us. The facilities are spot on and they have really thought of everything. We will definitely come back and will highly recommend this as a place to stay and enjoy.

Séjour très agréable. Hotel très jovial et discrète.

Joanne and Jon are great hosts. The fridge was even filled with beers, water and eggs when we arrived. Thank you for the superb location and great service. We really enjoyed it.

We have had two excellent weeks at La Caze. The gite had all we needed and made a good base for exploring this beautiful area. We loved the plateau and the Tarn. We did 3 randonnees from the app "Rando Grand Causes" recommended by Joanne. Some nice lunches out, especially Sunday lunch at the Relay du Chateau in Brousse le Chateau where we also visited the castle. Many many thanks to Jo and Jon for their hospitality.

We had a great time in your gite. The views are superb and the meals fantastic. Great walks in the area. Thanks for everything. We enjoyed!

Thank you for your welcome and a super weekend. Thanks for these memories in Aveyron, your house is a little paradise.

La Violette is an amazing cottage. The pool is lovely especially when it's as hot as this week. We found you very friendly and welcoming and had a great time with you.

We spent a great long weekend, super cute and ultra clean place. The view is amazing, the kids enjoyed the pool! Thank you!

Thank you for looking after us. We loved going on the swing and ping-pong table. We were grateful for your ideas of fun places to go!

Fantastic week and lucky with the weather. Jon and Joanne were superb hosts, most kind and hospitable. Our first night meal was delicious. The area has many deliights and we all look forward to returning

Propriétaire très accueillant dans une maison de bon volume, même au mois d'octobre la piscine est encore accessible avec une température de 28-29 degrés avec Jolie vue sur le paysage magnifique de l'Aveyron.

Un accueil chaleureux avec petits présents et même un superbe dessert le veille de notre départ. Nous aimons la piscine chauffée ou grâce au temps que nous avons eu nous a permis de nous baigner tous les jours. A recommender!

Un petit bijou à la campagne, une vue extraordinaire et un spectacle de la nature magnifique.

Rien de mieux que ce magnifique gite pour se reposer. Le lieu est formidable et la piscine avec vue est géniale. Merci à Joanne et Jon pour leur accueil et leur bonne humeur.

Je voulais vous remercier pour la semaine que nous avons passe dans votre gite, nous reviendrons avec plaisir!

Merci beaucoup pour tous les beaux moments :)

We had a really great week in the Aveyron in no small part due to Jon and Joanne's lovely gite and hospitality!

Thank you for a very nice stay and thanks for the warm welcome. You are so nice people.

We had a lovely stay with you, Joanne and Jon! Thank you for welcoming us. We discovered a new fantastic and beautiful area in France. In the gite we had everything we needed and the kids almost didn't leave the pool! Great memories were made and we hope to come back to visit you again!

Fantastic hosts, clean and cosy gite, wonderful stay.

Lovely place for a restful week. Would recommend.

Gite ideal pour des vacances en famille. Les enfants ont partage leur temps entre la piscaine et les jeux mis a disposition par Joanne: ping pong, petanque, badminton...Tout pour passer un sejour agreable et au calme. Nous recommandons +++

Merci pour l'accueil. Le gite est tres sympathique et parfait avec les enfants: piscine, table de ping pong.....superbe panorama! Merci a Joanne et Jon.

We really had a great time. We really loved the location and the pool. Everything that we needed and more) was there. It was so nice that you already bought some groceries! Thanks you so much for everything.

We had a wonderful time at La Caze. A cozy nice house, a swimming pool with an outstanding view and most of all two very welcoming hosts. No hesitation, come to La Caze :)

Sympathique sejour au vert. Panorama incroyable, piscine et jeux au top! On repart ressources, merci!

Thank you - we had a lovely time. The place was just as great as before (and the chocolate cake was amazing!).

Back again for another superb 2 weeks!! With Covid-19 we were unsure we'd make it over here, but so lucky that we could. Trips to the velorail again and La Table de Josephine. Plenty of bike rides and walks with wonderful views.Topped by a night of delicious table d'hote food.Thank you so much Joanne and Jon!

Thank you for a very nice stay in this gite. A great view, the swimming pool and the BBQ!

This is the first time we've stayed at La Cardabelle and it was everything we had hoped for! Comfortable accommodation. great facilities and fabulous hosts The kids basically lived in the swimming pool which was so nice during the hot weather. There is plenty of fun to be had at the lakes a few minutes up the road and kayaking and swimming in the Tarn River as well. The local scenery is spectacular and the views from the swimming pool itself are awesome! Joanne and Jon are fabulous hosts, nothing is too much trouble for them - they made us feel very welcome. Thanks for a lovely holiday - we will be back!

An excellent week in a lovely gite. Great dinner Jon! Best ever view from a pool 😊

We greatly enjoyed our stay in La Cardabelle!

It was wonderfully peaceful, the gite was spotless and very comfortable, the view breathtaking, and the swimming pool a joy.

Thank you also for all the advice on the area, where to get bread, lunch, dine etc.

What an amazing holiday! Thank you so much Jo and Jon for being so friendly and helpful. We stayed for 2 weeks at La Violette with our 12 and 10 year old daughters and it was perfect. The girls and I loved the pool, which has THE most amazing view, and my husband enjoyed the hills for his ultra marathon training! We also managed several family bike rides. We took our bikes down with us, but there are adult bikes to borrow at the gite. The gite was clean and had everything we needed. There is also plenty to do in the area (if you can tear yourself away from the pool) - Roquefort, Millau Viaduct, canoeing down the Tarn, Velorail to name a few. Can't fault La Violette and La Caze Gites in any way. We will certainly return.

4th visit, still brilliant, the meals were amazing and Jon and Joanne even more so - can't wait to come back!

Wow, what a rural idyll! A little piece of paradise. A warm welcome from Joanne and Jon. We hope to be back next year.

It was a pleasure staying in your beautiful gite. What a view and we loved the pool. We love the Tarn region, it's amazing.

Decouvrir un coin de notre pays grace a des anglais! INCREDIBLE! Merci pour votre accueil, pour vos bons soins. Le gite est absolument confortable. Like at home! Vous nous avez donne envie de revenir mais plus longtemps.

Wij willen jullie enorm bedanken voor de mooie vakantie. La Violette is een gezellige gite waar alles aanwezig is an een top vakantie te hebben.

Op jullie advies bezochten we Albi (Tour de France), Brousse le Chateau, St Rome de Tarn, Asseynes, St Affrique (market), Millau, Castelnau. Ook het meer van Villefranche de Panat was leuk.

Met het mooie weer hebben we ook volop genoten van het mooie zwembad

Dankjewel!!!

Eine wirklich aussergewöhnliche schöne Ferienwohnung mit aussergewöhnlich freundlichen Vermietern. Die Ausstattung ist perfekt und weit überdurchschnittlich, dazu alles von bester Qualität. Die Inneneinrichtung ist sehr stilsicher und mit viel Liebe und Knowhow gestaltet. Auch im Aussenbereich stimmt alles, vom Pool und den Liegen bis zu den zahlreichen Spiel- und Sportmöglichkeiten. Das alles in prächtiger NAtur mit einem atemberaubenden Ausblick ! In der Nähe sind kleine französischen Juwelen zu entdecken (z.B. Brousse-le-Chateau oder das Valée du Tarn); für die z.t. spektakulären Sehenswürdigkeiten wie Gorges du Tarn, Albi oder Touluse sollte man einen Halbtages- oder besser noch Tagesausflug einplanen. Joanne und Jon stehen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite - wirklich klasse Typen, und Jon kann auch noch gut kochen. Wer la France profonde liebt, ist hier genau richtig. Gesamtbewertung: hervorragend !!

We've spent 2 happy weeks here with wonderful weather. We visited interesting and pretty villages in the area - Brousse le Chateau is particularly charming. Shopping at the supermarkets in St Affrique is good as is the Saturday market. Joanne and Jon have been such good hosts, helping with routes and cooking us a couple of delicious meals- to mention just a few of the many ways they've made this a holiday we will cherish for years to come. We didn't know this part of France before now. We love it!!

Beautiful view, wonderful scenery and a lovely comfortable gite. Everything we could have wanted was supplied including the welcome pack. Our meal on our last night was delicious. Thank you Jon and Joanne very much for a very happy experience.

3rd visit and an absolute pleasure as always, especially Jon's delicious meals. Looking forward to next year already!

Thank you Jon and Joanne for your hospitality. Another lovely stay. So relaxing! We particularly love the lake at Villefranche de Panat - fab day out! See you again soon.

Just the most relaxing, chilled holiday. Our second visit to the gites has been a delight. Enjoyed every moment! Thanks Jon and Joanne

Thank you so much for a fabulous stay. We loved the gite and the pool. The gite is very well equipped. Jon and Joanne are fabulous hosts and we loved the meal cooked by Jon. Our favourite attraction was the Velorail - we'd love to have another go. We will definitely be back one day.

We had a wonderful week. Our 3 boys enjoyed the pool every day (thanks Jon for every day cleaning). The house was very nice and more than complete. We thank Jon and Joanne for their warm welcome and from now on we are in love with this Tarn region!

Thanks Jon and Jo for such a fabulously wonderful time! You made us feel so at home and we had a fantastic meal. We went on a great canoe trip, hired electric bikes, and had an amazing time swimming in the pool, lakes and rivers. It was superb at La Caze Gites and we highly recommend it!

Thank you for some wonderful days in La Cardabelle. We have enjoyed every single moment in the gite and in the area. We will recommend the location to friends and family. So nice and homely - we love it!

Second time and another lovely stay thanks Jo and Jon

Tres bon sejour, accueiller tres chaleureux. Merci pour votre hospitalite.

All the comments are so true , a lovely part of France and so peaceful. The gites are very good and the views from the beautiful swimming pool are fantastic. Joanne and John are great hosts and nothing is too much trouble. What ever your interests from bird watching, photography or just exploring the wonderful French villages you won't be disappointed

Tres bon sejour a La Caze. Cadre tres agreable, hotes super sympa. Nous esperons pouvoir revenir entre amis des que possible!

What a fantastic location. We had a very enjoyable week and managed to see some great places. The gite has everything - we enjoyed some great meals at home! Jon and Joanne are brilliant hosts. We shall return and recommend to friends. Relaxing and enjoyable break - this area of France is a hidden gem!

Our 4th visit but the first stay in La Violette. The gite has a friendly feel and we immediately felt at home. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and could happily have stayed for longer. Despite being here before we were amazed at how much more there is to see and do. Planning to return once more.

Joanne and Jon: thanks for your hospitality, we had a perfect stay in your gite! We used it as a 'base camp' for visiting Millau (including viaduct), Rodez, Lodeve, La Couvertoirade. Why has this beautiful departement been neglected by tourists? The gite had all the comfort we needed and Jon is an excellent cook!

A great week away with friends. The lakes offered a wonderful opportunity to stretch our legs and take in the scenery! Jon and Joanne were the perfect hosts, ensuring the gite had all the necessary essentials, producing fabulous dinners and making us feel so at home that we didn't want to leave....

Lovely gite
Great hosts
Fantastic food
Breath taking views
Totally relaxing
Nice weather
Perfect holiday
Pictures cannot possibly show you how good our stay was or how much fun we had
Thanks jo and John

We have had the most fabulous week at La Violette. Jon and Joanne have been wonderful hosts, full of great suggestions on places to go and experiences to try - the highlights including the 14km canoe/kayak trip on the Tarn. The gite was thoughtfully equipped with lots of attention to detail, e.g. a decent steam iron, lots of ice packs and plenty of towels, plus lots of pool toys, ping pong and boules for the children, and Paul enjoyed cycling to the shops for our daily bread. One week wasn't enough!

Nous avons passee une semaine tres reposant dans ce gite tres accueillant "La Violette". Baignades tous les jours, entre la rivière du Tarn, le lac de Pareloup et la superbe piscine. Le plateau du Larzac et les Gorges du Tarn sont a un peu plus d'une heure de route mais cela vaut le corp. En resume de tres bonnes vacances, nous revendrions. See you!

What an amazing place! Jon and Joanne really make you feel immediately welcome. We will be sure to be back very soon!!

The most amazing holiday! Wonderful hosts, pool, Gites and spectacular views. The welcome meal was delicious - would highly recommend. Some great local attractions - we particularly loved the lake at Villefranche de Panat. A very special holiday - can't wait to come back.

We've had a lovely week here in La Caze Gites. The gite is a complete holiday home. Thank you Joanne and Jon for a relaxing week.

Merci pour ce magnifique petit gite et votre grande gentillesse. Nous avons passee une superbe semaine avec nos 2 enfants.

Sejour a La Caze tres agreable. Beau point de vu sur l'Aveyron. Le gite est tres comfortable et la piscine a ete tres appreciee des petits et des grands! Merci pour votre accueil.

We had a lovely week. The gite is lovely. Jo and Jon looked after us very well. Enjoyed the meals!

La Cardabelle is like a home from home with everything you need and more. Jon and Joanne are wonderful hosts (and amazing cooks - we thoroughly enjoyed the meal they prepared for us) so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. This is our 2nd visit and we'll be back again next year. It's been a lovely break, we don't want to go home!

What a wonderful few days in a little corner of paradise. Jon and Jo are such great hosts, really helpful and also leaving us some privacy too. A perfect combination. Oh, and an absolutely delicious dinner, thank you! A beautiful place, well appointed and so relaxing. We can't wait to be back. For longer!

Thank you Jon and Joanne for a very relaxing week. We've enjoyed blue skies and sunshine and had some great hikes. Its been lovely to return.

A wonderful experience at La Caze Gites and we can't wait to come back next year!

What a lovely spot to spend a couple of weeks. The weather was wonderful, the scenery is great, and we had a couple of first class meals from Joanne and Jon as well. We will be back!

The welcome we received was truly warm and friendly with a lovely meal. La Violette was bright, clean and cheerful and well equipped, and the fresh linen and towels are a great touch. The kids had plenty of fun in the pool and the view is fabulous.

We've had such a relaxing fortnight at La Caze. Thank you Joanne and Jon for providing everything we needed and your great hosting skills. A holiday to remember!

We have had a lovely stay at La Caze. The gite is very comfortable and so well equipped. Our hosts could not have been friendlier or more helpful.

A wonderful two weeks at La Caze. The gite was just right, the grounds were lovely and the view was AMAZING! Had some great days out, but it was just as nice to potter by the pool, eat Joanne and Jon's delicious food and check out those stars at night!

Thanks for a superb week. What wonderful hosts and absolutely everything provided including all sorts for our children of varying ages. Delicious meal thanks to both Joanne and Jon and with the luxury of not having to leave the premises!

Thanks Joanne and Jon for a wonderful holiday at La Caze. The house was just lovely, clean and everything we needed provided. We spent a very relaxing two weeks here and will be delighted to recommend this as a delightful base for visiting this region. Amazing views and the children had lots of fun in the pool and playing ping pong and boules. WiFi and satellite TV a big plus for the teenagers!

Amazing view and perfect pool for active boys. Great area and lots to do around the house.

As good a holiday as we have ever had.

We have had an amazing week at La Caze. Jon and Joanne were great hosts and cooked us a lovely meal. The pool, boules and the view are great. We will come again!
