Accommodation

Le Caillau is beautifully situated in the heart of the Cahors vineyards and our luxury two-bedroom apartment makes the perfect holiday base, combining the history and charm of a 300-year-old wine domaine with high quality modern fittings and contemporary style. The apartment has its own entrance, two private terraces and a large garden with swimming pool. Stone tiles cover the floor, and the decor is tasteful and muted. Our restaurant and café are all on your doorstep if self-catering becomes a chore.

The fully-fitted kitchen has a dishwasher and microwave, and double doors lead out onto a shady terrace. The living room has a TV, DVD player and ipod docking. The dining area has a fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The bathroom has a large bath and walk-in shower, with a separate toilet to the side. The spacious ground-floor main bedroom has a kingsize bed fitted with Egyptian cotton sheets, and double doors open onto a west-facing terrace with views over the vines. Upstairs is a smaller bedroom, carefully renovated to leave the original beams intact. The apartment has air-conditioning and heating. Outside you’ll find our large private garden with a fenced heated pool, trampoline, swings, tree house and sandpit for the kids.

How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then to rest afterward.

Facilities and services


You’ll find all the basics, such as olive oil, salt and pepper, dishwasher tablets and cleaning materials in the apartment at Le Caillau, as well as milk, butter, cheeses, ham, bread and fruit, plus a complimentary bottle of Le Caillau wine. We also provide a laundry service for our guests; just ask us when you want to do a wash.

If you expect to arrive late at Le Caillau we can have dinner waiting for you in the gite. Our restaurant is open all day, and we can also deliver breakfast to your door or serve lunch or dinner at your own table in the gite. For those with special dietary needs, our chef can prepare lunches and evening meals according to your requirements.

Kids

Le Caillau welcomes families and we aim to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable for everyone. We can provide you with a wooden cot, a baby monitor, stair gates, a bed guard, a single or double buggy, a changing mat, a high chair, childrens plates, cups and cutlery, toys & books and DVDs. If you need anything else just ask and we’ll be happy to help. Nestled amongst our cherry trees, you’ll find our kids play area. We have a trampoline, swing set, tree cabin, sand pit and slackline. Our private, heated swimming pool is fully fenced with child proof closings.

Welcome packs aren’t just for adults! On arrival, your kids will receive their own welcome back-pack, including a soft toy rabbit, colouring pens/crayons, a scrap book and other creative ideas to keep them entertained on holiday. Pottery painting in our café is the perfect activity for creative kids and provides the ideal holiday memento. Sit back and relax with a coffee, tea or glass of wine while the kids paint. The café is open all day and also serves home made cakes and ice cream.

Food and Drink


Our aim is to provide you with great food and drink at our restaurant and café when you want it. Enjoy fresh bread and croissants for breakfast, and perhaps a warm duck salad for lunch. After a hard day’s wine tasting or canoeing, relax on your terrace and enjoy a peaceful meal brought to your table, taking in the sunset over the vines.

If you arrive late after a hard day’s travel, just let us know and we can put together a simple, tasty dinner for you so you don’t have to worry about getting to a supermarket and can get straight into enjoying your holiday.

When you are here

Puy L’Eveque, a beautiful medieval village with meandering back streets and a lovely river, is just five minutes drive away. It has a supermarket, boulangerie, boucherie, restaurants, doctors, chemist and bank. Prayssac, at 10 minutes drive away, has a local produce market every Friday morning, and cafés, restaurants and shops. A 15 minute walk or short bike ride through the vineyards brings you to Vire-sur-Lot. It has a post office which opens on week-day afternoons and a chocolaterie with tempting treats, and just across the river is a campsite with a shop where you can buy basics such as bread and milk. The campsite restaurant, with a small play area, opens in the summer and serves pizzas, burgers and chips.

The Lot has something for everyone, all year round. During the day there are outdoor activites such as canoeing and swimming in the local sandy beach lakes, horse riding, boat rides along the river. There are many local markets and wine domaines to visit. There are also historical monuments such as Chateau de Bonaguil, the Gouffre de Padirac caves, the Monkey Park at Rocamadour, or the Grammat Animal Park, all of which are worth a look. And summer evenings are full of music in the local produce markets.
