Wonderful holiday
Found it no problem, key was in press house is lovely with lots of old-world charm. Great Kitchen and lovely comfortable cozy lounge. But it's about the outside. The garden is fantastic with a few different areas to sit. The pool is perfect. Jerrome (sorry spelling) was around to do the lawn and check the pool and was very friendly and helpful. Also check out the Auberge in Sanvensa for lunch, just do it it's amazing.

Beautiful and tranquil setting, large garden and pool. Interior a bit dated and lots of flies
The house is in a gorgeous and tranquil setting with lovely views across the garden and valley beyond. There is a lovely big garden with a nice (unheated) pool. There were lots of kids toys available which was perfect for our 2 year old. There were bikes which we used to cycle the pretty local roads (which were quite hilly, but I liked that...!) The kitchen in the house had everything you needed and all the appliances worked well. There wasnt a lot of space in the kitchen and lots of the rooms were very dark and a bit dingy and the decor was dated. This property is best enjoyed when you want to spend time outside. There were also lots and lots of flies which was a bit annoying sometimes. There were also a lot of rules and requirements for guests which in other houses we've been to have been done for you such as uncovering the pool, getting all the garden furniture out, cleaning the house etc but as long as you are happy to do that then its not problem. Overall i would recommend this house.

Fantastic house in the beautiful Aveyron
We spent 2 weeks in Oubax & had a wonderful holiday. The house is lovely, very comfortable & certainly has the best equipped kitchen of any rental property I’ve ever stayed in. We didn’t use the TV but it was available with English & French stations & the WiFi was excellent inside & out. The terrace, garden & pool overlook beautiful countryside which was everchanging during our visit as the farmers harvested their fields. Although rural, shopping facilities are within easy driving distance, & there are plenty of restaurants to suit all tastes. The area has many great markets selling such fabulous fresh produce that you want to buy everything & take it back to the house & start cooking. As well as visiting the markets, beautiful bastides & the rivers, it’s a great area for crafts - we visited a number of artisan potters & jewellery makers & watched them at work before buying. I would highly recommend Les Portails to anyone looking to visit this region of France. It makes an excellent base for exploring but is also perfect for staying put. It’s such a good place to relax, have a swim, cook local produce, drink local wine & eat on the terrace looking out at the countryside. After all of that you sit for hours and stargaze. Perfect.

A great holiday
A lovely quiet holiday home in a very rural area, but within easy reach of restaurants and supermarkets. The Gite had a stunning view of the surrounding countryside, and for most of the time the only sounds were the birds and insects. At night it was quiet and you could sit out watching the stars with no intrusive lights. The accommodation was absolutely fine, with all the facilities you could need, and very comfortable. We ate in and used restaurants in Najac and Villefranche, both only 15 minutes away by car. There is a supermarket only 5 minutes up the road, and Villefranche has everything you could need. We visited some of the cave sites north of here, and also found numerous prehistoric dolmen sites from the maps, and have fallen in love with the Bastides, so this proved to be a brilliant base for our adventures.

Quiet, of the beaten track
We spent two weeks in Oubax and liked it very much. The house is well off the beaten track and surrounded by beautiful countryside. The garden and pool are great and there is more than enough space to park your car and bikes. The kitchen is well equipped but lacks storage space and could do with a bigger bin (you have to separate your waste and have at least two bin bags at the same time but only one small bin). The sitting room upstairs feels a bit dated. Thelma and John are very nice hosts and were always quick to answer emails. There is a lot to do and see nearby and we managed to rent mountain bikes for the time from the tourist information in Villefranche (delivered to the house).

Great holiday home in the lovely French countryside
We had a lovely holiday. The house is situated amongst very pretty countryside. All facilities in the house were great, including the pool. The house was very clean. Bakery is within five minutes drive, supermarket and another super bakery is 10-15mins drive. Lovely towns and villages to visit. Would recommend.

Joli gite à proximité de beaucoup de sites d'intérêt
Gîte très confortable et bien équipé. Une vraie maison de campagne, avec une superbe piscine en plus. Nous avons apprécié le confort de la maison, et pu profiter de cette magnifique région (Villefranche, Najac, Rodez, Lunac).

Prachtige tuin, fijn zwembad, huis niet schoon
We vonden de tuin en de regio fantastisch. Het zwembad en de mogelijkheid van een early-check-in waren ook heel fijn. Het huis zelf viel ons tegen: heel veel schimmel in de badkamers (vieze kitranden, beschimmeld douchegordijn, groen-zwarte plekken onder de douchemat), viezigheid in de keukenlades- en kastjes en het huis stond zo vol met spullen van de eigenaar en vorige huurders dat er nauwelijks plek was voor onze eigen spullen: in de keuken voedingsmiddelen die over de datum waren, in de badkamerkast aangebroken verpakkingen maandverband/tampons waardoor het geheel meer oogde als een plotseling verlaten woning dan een vakantiehuis voor verhuur.

Genieten van een prachtige plek
Wat hebben we een fantastische tijd gehad op deze heerlijke rustige plek, samen met ons gezin. De mooie grote tuin, die qua uitzicht overliep in het landschap gaf het gevoel midden in de natuur te zitten. De vrije ligging was fijn maar vooral ook de rust en stilte, was echt heerlijk en soms adembenemend. Als je in de ochtend een duik in het zwembad nam en s'avonds kijkend naar een prachtige sterrenhemel, genoten we van de stilte. Dat was magnifiek. Het zwembad was heerlijk, lekker groot en hebben we samen van genoten. We hadden warm weer, dus een extra koelkast was erg fijn. Een mooie omgeving, met mooie oude Franse stadjes, en de weg ernaar toe rijden al mooi was. Kortom een heerlijke plek om te genieten en helemaal tot rust te komen.

Très belle maison de charme
"Les Portails" est une résidence de campagne super charmante ! Le style rustique et chaleureux nous a beaucoup plu. La cuisine attenante au jardin ensoleillé est très appréciable pur un séjour d'été. Nous avons séjourné à 6 adultes, et avons tous beaucoup apprécié la maison ! De plus, les équipements sont très confortables, et nous avions tous les consommables nécessaires à notre séjour, à disposition dans la maison. On s'y sent comme chez soi à peine arrivés ! Nous n'avons pas eu besoin de l'intervention d'un tiers, mais de toute façon un Monsieur passe régulièrement pour vérifier la piscine. N'oublions pas la superbe vue sur la vallée depuis la piscine justement !

A very charming house in a beautiful region
We recently enjoyed our holiday in this beautiful house. The house itself is full of character, and beautifully situated in a rural environment with very nice views on the surrounding hills. The property has all the facilities you need (including good WiFi - vital for our kids ;-)) and is very comfortable. The garden is huge, with enough trees to offer shadow during a canicule. Shops, markets, restaurants nearby in villages Sanvensa (5 min) and La Fouillade (15 min). We enjoyed a nice balance of exploration and relaxation during our stay (with a lot of sun), and would really recommend this house. After 2 weeks, it felt a bit like we were leaving home instead of returning home.
