Overview
Description
Maison Boye is a spacious and welcoming 200-year-old stone villa, perfect for relaxed family holidays in complete privacy.Set in over an acre of grounds, the entire house, gardens, and swimming pool are exclusively yours, and with no neighbouring properties in sight children can play freely allowing parents to truly unwind.
Although wonderfully peaceful, Maison Boye is just a few minutes’ away from local shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants, making day-to-day life as convenient as possible during your stay.
And while this area remains refreshingly unspoilt by tourism, there’s tons of things to do for all ages:-
White water canoeing, horse riding, cycling, tennis and golf are all nearby, alongside historic castles to explore, live music, world-class art and culture – but only if you can drag yourself away from the swimming pool, badminton, pétanque and other attractions at Boye!
Thick stone walls, exposed oak beams, quarry-tile floors and a traditional log fireplace sit comfortably alongside bright contemporary bathrooms, a modern kitchen and a full range of home entertainment.
The large 10m x 5m swimming pool includes Roman steps for easy access, a fun water slide, underwater lighting for relaxing evening swims, and a safety alarm for peace of mind. There’s plenty of space to relax on the sun terrace, and a shaded pergola patio with a built-in stone barbecue for your al fresco meals together.
Maison Boye is well equipped for comfortable family living, including superfast fibre Wi-Fi with poolside coverage, UK satellite TV and radio, PlayStation, AudioPro portable speaker, portable air conditioners, dishwasher, washing machine, freezer, and twin fridges.
The property is fully serviced, with cleaning before and after your stay, beds made up to your requirements, bathroom towels provided, and weekly pool maintenance - so you can focus on enjoying your holiday.
With flexible sleeping arrangements, Maison Boye works perfectly well for differing party sizes and make-ups. Magnificently spacious for couples, ideal for families of four to six, whilst also capable of sleeping up to ten making it suitable for two families holidaying together or multi-generational stays.
Laundry is charged separately at £35 per person, which includes all bed linen, bathroom towels, and tea towels. This being fairer for small groups than including the cost of a full house of laundry in with the rent.
We usually operate a Saturday changeover, warmly welcoming families, couples, and well-behaved pets, but don’t accept bookings for events such as stag or hen parties.
Note: The short video below was filmed a few years ago and shows cottage style double beds that have just been upgraded to Euro Kings - larger than UK king sized and with latest generation mattresses.

A wonderful, relaxing holiday
By Ali on 20-Sep-2026A fantastic house in a beautiful part of France. The house is really well equipped with everything needed to make the stay enjoyable. The kitchen is well equipped making it easy to prepare and cook meals. There is plenty of room to sit and read, play games or just chat both inside and outside the house. Showers in the bathrooms had good water pressure and constant heat. The pool (although cold) was great. Walking into Caylus is easy but is uphill on the way back and as we were lucky to experience very warm weather we only did this once. Caylus is really nice and we heartily recommend the market and a stop at Le Legardere in the square for lunch. We would definitely return here, and bring friends because there is so much room.
Fantastic week away in the South of France
By Joe B on 12-Sep-2026We had an amazing week at Maison Boye. The property itself is well equipped, private, and within walking distance of lovely Caylus. The owners were a pleasure to deal with, and provided us with lots of information about the house and the local area. We would definitely recommend and hope to stay again.

Thanks Joe. Claire and I are glad to read that you had an amazing week at Maison Boye - and you're certainly welcome to become one of our regulars!
Another amazing holiday stay
By Team Whitley on 09-Aug-2025We were lucky enough to secure an August stay for the second year running at this amazing place. Extended family group from Grandparents to Grand-kids and everyone in between. The house was just as good as we remembered, immaculately clean for our arrival with rooms configured as requested. Pool was amazing and the outdoor spaces perfect for an after dark BBQ. Once again we mixed it up withs days by the pool, canoeing, swimming in rivers, biking and trail walking as well as a day out to the Dordogne for some caves! we ventured into Caylus several times, both during the day and in the early evening for a cold drink. Hoping to be back next year. Simply, thanks to the owners.

Thanks for your return visit this year, and also for your immediate re-booking for 2026! Our own children grew up with Maison Boye as their holiday home (and still do!) and it's a great pleasure now for us to know your family is too.
August Family Holiday 2024 at Boye
By Whitley family on 10-Aug-2024We stayed in August 2024, family group of seven from Grandparents to grandkids and everything in between. It was amazing. We have stayed all over Europe over the years but this is by far the best house / property we have had the luck to find, so much so we have already booked for next year. As soon as we rounded the corner of the driveway and saw the place for the first time there was a collective "wow". We were still saying wow after settling in, enjoying the barbeque and having a midnight swim whilst watching shooting stars overhead. Everything about the house was really well thought through, well stocked DVDs and family board games, books, and an amazing welcome gift from the owners. The wi-fi was excellent throughout the house and in the patio areas. The local area is equally impressive, we took road and mountain bikes so was able to enjoy the hills! We spent a day exploring the local trails on foot . We walked into the town daily for fresh bread and an ice-cream. We rounded the week off with a 10km family canoe trip from a nearby town, great value and great fun. An amazing house in an amazing area of France.

Hi Tony, Thank you very much for such a comprehensive review! Claire and I are also delighted to welcome you back next year - your booking is confirmed.
Fantastic, relaxing gite with a great village close by
By L Gascoigne on 29-Jun-2024What a find. A spacious well equipped and clean gite in a quiet location but with a fantastic village five minutes drive away or by short walk by country lane down to the village centre. The gite is all yours, no neighbours, no shared areas, just privacy. Swimming pool was first class as was the ability to relax indoors or outdoors with all amenities catered for. Many a late night at the outdoor dinner table eating from the bbq. Tranquility. Couple of excellent restaurants in the village as well as a butchers, bakery and a small supermarket. Great location to explore the region. Highly recommended and would return. Excellent communication from owners before, during and after when we needed it.

Thank you Lee, it was a pleasure having you stay. Those stay-at-home nights dining on the BBQ terrace are always special for us too!
A Secluded Idyll
By N Clarke on 07-Feb-2024What a great house; if you want a peaceful secluded space, that's close enough to a beautiful old town to get supplies and eat out, this is it. The owners have thought of everything, provide comprehensive information about the property and the area and all communication is clear and punctual. My wife and I had such a good time, we've already booked again. No brainer.....
Owner response on 18-Aug-2024
Thank you very much for your kind words Nick, and yes, I can confirm you're booked in for the same weeks again next year. Best wishes, Paul.
