For both houses

The pools: opening & heating.

Both pools are private and open all year round.

  • 1 May to 30 September: heating included in your stay.
  • April and October: optional heating, €100 initial heating + €25 per booked night, to add when you book. Stays spanning two periods: prior agreement depending on the weather. How to add it ↗
  • November to March: pool open but unheated. Exceptional heating can be considered on request, depending on the weather and technical feasibility, with a supplement quoted and agreed in advance.

Heating a pool up takes several days; the water temperature depends on the weather and cannot be guaranteed, especially for the infinity pool at Le Belvédère, which is more exposed to the wind. The pools are not supervised: children must be watched by an adult at all times. Just remember to pack your beach towels.

Answers before you travel

Frequently asked questions.

Are the houses and pools private?

Yes. Each house, its pool and its outdoor spaces are reserved exclusively for the guests on the booking. La Bastide du Causse is in Ginouillac and Le Belvédère du Quercy is in Soucirac: they are two separate addresses.

Can we book both houses together?

Yes, for a group of up to 12 people. The houses are a few minutes’ drive apart. Book them separately or write to Cédric to organise your stay. Both houses together ↗

What does the price shown include?

The price of the nights, including the 20% direct-booking discount. The cleaning and linen fee (€150 at La Bastide, €80 at Le Belvédère) and the tourist tax are added to this. Bed linen, bath towels, Wi-Fi and pool heating from May to September are included.

How does payment work?

If you book fewer than 7 days before arrival, register your deposit as soon as you receive the confirmation. If it is already registered, no further action is needed. No amount is blocked or charged: the imprint is only used if damage is found, with supporting documents, and it is released after your departure.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellation is free up to 30 days before arrival: everything you have paid is refunded in full. After that, the stay is no longer refundable. We recommend taking out travel cancellation insurance.
