The Domaine de Bertalay – A Haven of Authenticity in the Heart of the Tarn
Welcome to Domaine de Bertalay, a characterful residence nestled in a peaceful setting, combining historic charm with modern comfort. Awarded 4-star Meublé de Tourisme status, this former 18th-century silk farm invites you to an exceptional getaway between Toulouse and Albi, in the heart of the Pays de Cocagne, known as the Little French Tuscany.
A Unique Place, Between Nature and Elegance
Behind its sandstone and red-brick walls, Domaine de Bertalay reveals a warm atmosphere where every detail has been designed to preserve its authenticity: terracotta floors, old parquet, period furniture, and sunlit spaces.
Outside, enjoy a 5,000 m² garden, dotted with fruit trees and cozy spots for relaxation: shaded terraces, sun loungers, and convivial tables. The emerald-green private pool promises refreshing swims under the Tarn sunshine or beneath the stars. The large terrace with an Italian-style balcony offers a breathtaking view of the plains and is perfect for al fresco dining and long summer evenings.
