Charm and Elegance in a Renovated Former Presbytery with a Delightful…

In the heart of the medieval village of La Romieu – ranked among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site – this former 18th-century presbytery unveils itself, meticulously restored with exceptional attention to detail. Surrounded by history and bathed in the charm of southwestern France, this outstanding property offers a perfect balance between authentic architecture and modern comfort.

From the moment you enter, the house impresses with its generous proportions, thick stone walls, high ceilings, original wooden floors and terracotta tiles. Every room exudes character – from the grand reception room with its marble fireplace and custom-made bookshelves, to the high-end kitchen fitted with a Lacanche range cooker, marble countertops, and a spectacular pantry. A dream space for lovers of cooking and convivial gatherings.

The adjoining dining room and a more intimate sitting room with fireplace offer cosy settings for family dinners or evenings with friends. Upstairs, accessed via a stone staircase adorned with period detailing, you'll find three air-conditioned bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, including a sumptuous master suite featuring a custom-designed dressing room and a stunning private bathroom. A quiet office or reading room is perfect for working from home or enjoying moments of calm.

Outside, a pretty flower-filled, low-maintenance garden surrounds a small swimming pool and a shaded pergola – ideal for summer lunches or peaceful naps. A walled stone courtyard provides an intimate space for romantic dinners or relaxed evenings as the sun sets.

No renovation needed – a major advantage in today's climate of rising construction costs. The entire property has been carefully updated, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. It also includes a charming guest house with two air-conditioned bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room.

Adding to the property's appeal is a rare feature: a separate and fully renovated village house, directly adjacent yet independent. With its own street access, private courtyard, lovely living room, equipped kitchen, and two air-conditioned bedrooms each with en-suite shower room, it is ideal for hosting extended family, older children, staff, or generating rental income thanks to its privacy and functionality.

La Romieu is a lively village of about 500 inhabitants, offering all essential amenities within walking distance: local shops, restaurants, medical services, grocery store, bookstore, bakery, hair salon… all nestled along the peaceful pilgrimage route of Saint James of Compostela.

A rare property – ideal as a primary residence, charming holiday home, or tourist accommodation project.
