The real rural France - quiet, hospitable, unspoilt, clean, wonderful scenery and plentiful wildlife. This beautiful home is set high in the hills overlooking majestic countryside in the Lot Region of France. We were recommended to 'Jardin du Segala' by friends, and the whole experience certainly exceeded our expectations. The house has a lovely friendly and welcoming ambience, extremely well... More

A lovely welcome, a beautiful house, and the joy of finding vegetarian food in this area of France where cholesterol busting dishes are the norm! We would be delighted to return to Le Jardin du Ségala in the future and we have already recommended Alex and Richard's place to friends. More

After a rather traumatic experience just prior to going to Alex and Richard's beautiful home in the Lot region of France, we were made so welcome we managed to relax, forget our worries and enjoy our time there.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week’s stay at Jardin du Segala. The house is set on the edge of a small village in the hills above St Cere. Very quiet with beautiful views across the local countryside. Our bedroom was a good size, as was the bathroom, and, most importantly, the bed was large and comfortable. The house itself is very... More
