Dear Ian and Caroline, What a wonderful week in your lovely house. I can honestly say that it is the best equipped holiday rental we have had in over 40 years of renting in France. You really have thought of everything - super linen, fluffy towels, plenty of (matching!!) crockery and glasses, sharp kitchen knives and everything you could need to make catering for the family a pleasure. Two kitchens - and a choice of terraces for eating. Enough loungers for everyone and attractive and comfortable seating indoors. Add to this the amazing location and incredible views from the house, and the charm of Calvignac itself - we had to encourage the family to drag themselves away from tennis, ping-pong and the pool to see a little of the wonderful countryside - mostly from the river as the nearby canoeing was immensely popular. We had very hot weather (but you provide fans) and clear night skies to take advantage of stunning night time stargazing. I’m running out of superlatives….so thank you again for sharing your amazing holiday home.
Just back from a relaxing week with all the family. House, pool, table tennis, bikes and tennis court all great. Ian and Caroline are great new owners with all home comforts thought of - large beds, cotton sheets, thick white bath towels and pool towels. As well as all the crockery and kitchen utensils you could need !!
We would highly recommend a visit to Sul Pech. We have just returned from a fantastic week there (mid August). The villa itself is really well appointed and is very nicely furnished. Our two children particularly loved the large swimming pool, enjoyed playing tennis and making use of the mountain bikes too. The villa has wonderful view over the river Lot Valley and the Chateau de Cenevieres, which we would also really recommend for a visit. At night, the skies are so dark and it makes it an amazing place for stargazing! The nearest town to the villa is Cajarc, which is a pretty little market town, boasting some lovely shops and restaurants. Overall, we had a lovely week at Sul Pech and having hired several villas in the south of France before, Sul Pech was definitely the best we’ve been to yet- it’s well worth a visit!
Sul Pech is a house with personality, offering the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. It welcomes you with open arms and immediately you are at peace, and home. The luxury of the comfortable beds and piles of the softest, fluffiest towels are complimented with great showers and cozy sofas. For those who love to cook, you’ll feel right at home in the well stocked kitchens, or at the equally well-equipped barbeque. With such stunning views from both outdoor dining areas, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better setting for an intimate dinner as the sun goes down. The owners have thought of everything, from a stacked games cupboard and table tennis, to mountain bikes for the more adventurous. A short stroll (or pedal!) brings you up to the charming village of Calvignac for an aperitif, or down to the beautiful Lot River for a quick dip, perhaps. On leaving the comfort of the house, there is immediately a wealth of gorgeous villages, markets, chateaux and history to explore on your doorstep. We arrived in July to wide blue skies and temperatures of 40 degrees. How wonderful to return from exploring the beauty of the Lot valley to relax into the pool, to float on one of the many inflatables and gaze across the stunning valley at the chateau, letting your mind drift as freely as the hawks gliding above! On mid-summer nights, lying by the pool watching shooting stars from the Perseids meteor shower streak across the ink-black sky will be a truly unforgettable experience. The area is so quiet, to wake to silence, only broken by the gentle tolling of church bells is a joy, and perfect for some mindful reflection. Each window frames a picture-perfect view, and you will find your time at Sul Pech stays with you long after you’ve returned home.
We were a family group of 6 adults and 4 children and we all had a fantastic time at Sul Pech. The house was very comfortable and had everything that we could possibly need. We loved the garden and the views of the Lot Valley from the terraces. The swimming pool was probably the nicest of any of the many holiday house that we have stayed in. Being able to play tennis, table tennis and ride bikes was also great. The dark skies were a bonus, including seeing Elon Musk's Starlink satellites. The Lot Valley is a beautiful area of France and the family enjoyed swimming and paddle boarding on the Lot and canoeing down the Cele, as well as visiting Calvignac, Pech Merle and the surrounding towns. Ian and Caroline and Chloe, the House Manager have all been extremely kind and helpful since we first booked Sul Pech. Thank you, we hope to return soon.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this Pat and Jim. We look forward to your return.
Good morning from Calvignac. The Lot valley hiding in mist, church bells tolling, blissfully cool before the heat of the day, and silence. Having the time of our lives and bottling memories like crazy. We laid by the pool counting shooting stars last night. J was up to eight within 20 minutes. Every third word out of our mouths is "Wow!" Totally understand why a piece of your hearts stays in this place. Feels like good medicine.
