The Property
The Domaine de Bertalay – A Gem of Authenticity in the Heart of the Tarn

Welcome to the Domaine de Bertalay, a charming estate nestled in a peaceful setting, combining historic charm with modern comfort. Certified as a 4-star tourist rental, this former 18th-century silkworm farm invites you to enjoy an exceptional getaway between Toulouse and Albi, in the heart of the Pays de Cocagne, nicknamed “Little French Tuscany.”

A Unique Place, Where Nature Meets Elegance

Behind its sandstone and red-brick walls, the Domaine de Bertalay reveals a warm atmosphere, where every detail has been carefully considered to preserve its authenticity: terracotta floors, antique hardwood floors, period furniture, and spaces bathed in light.
Outside, enjoy a 5,000 m² garden dotted with fruit trees and areas designed for relaxation: shaded terraces, sun loungers, and tables perfect for socializing. The private, emerald-green pool promises refreshing swims under the Tarn sun or beneath the stars. The large terrace with an Italian-style balcony offers breathtaking views of the plain and is perfect for al fresco dining and long summer evenings.

A Comfortable and Refined Interior

The house, which is spacious and cool even in the height of summer, is organized around two large central hallways that connect the rooms across two levels:

• An intimate living room, featuring a grand piano, a smart TV, and a film collection.
