Le Malbec - 1 Bedroom (Sleeps 2) Cottage in Saint-Sulpice

Description

Le Malbec - Romantic Stone Cottage with Private Pool in the Lot Valley

Le Malbec is a beautifully restored stone cottage designed for couples seeking peace, privacy and a touch of romance. Set in the tiny hamlet of Le Moulin sur Célé, in the heart of the Célé Valley, it offers the charm of an old French farmhouse with the comfort and elegance of a boutique hideaway. With its private pool, four‑poster bedroom, and soft countryside views, it’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the quiet rhythm of rural France.

Le Malbec is also part of Sawday’s Special Places to Stay, a curated collection celebrating places with real warmth, character and soul.

Saint‑Sulpice sits in one of the most beautiful stretches of the Lot Valley — a region of medieval villages, river swims, limestone cliffs, and endless walking and cycling routes.
What guests can do:
Swim in the river, explore cliffside paths, visit prehistoric caves, wander through markets, enjoy wine tastings, or simply relax by the pool.
Walking distance:
The Célé River is a short stroll away, offering wild swimming spots and peaceful riverside walks.
Places to eat:
The valley is known for duck, truffles, goat’s cheese and Malbec wine. Excellent restaurants can be found in nearby Cabrerets, Saint‑Cirq‑Lapopie and Cahors, with cosy bistros and terrace dining throughout the region.
Best attractions:
• Saint‑Cirq‑Lapopie (20 minutes) — one of France’s most beautiful villages.

• Cahors (35 minutes) — medieval bridge, markets and vineyards.
• Rocamadour (45 minutes) — dramatic cliffside pilgrimage site.
Further afield:
Day trips to the Dordogne, Figeac, or the Causses du Quercy Regional Park offer even more landscapes, villages and viewpoints.
