Genévrier Cottage
About Genévrier
A Cottage Made for Relaxation
Genévrier is a lovingly restored Quercy stone cottage set in a secluded, south-facing position above the small village of St. Martin Labouval. Surrounded by eight acres of oak woodland, juniper and wildflowers, it offers a rare sense of privacy and stillness — the perfect place to escape everyday life.
Inside, the cottage blends rustic charm with comfortable living, while outside, birdsong, warm breezes and the scent of thyme create a truly peaceful atmosphere. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, reading beneath the oak trees or enjoying an alfresco meal in the summer kitchen, Genévrier invites you to slow down, unwind and enjoy the beauty of the Lot Valley.

Fully Equipped for Easy Holiday Cooking
Practical yet charming, the kitchen is equipped for relaxed holiday cooking. Terracotta tiles, wooden surfaces and a large farmhouse table give the room a rustic French feel, while modern appliances ensure you have everything you need. It’s a room designed for laughter, long meals and shared moments.
Peaceful Sleeping Arrangements
The cottage offers two beautifully finished bedrooms, each with sloping ceilings, oak beams and views of the grounds.

A mezzanine area with an additional single bed provides flexible sleeping arrangements for families or small groups.
Swimming Pool
Secluded Pool with Beautiful Valley Views
The secluded 10m x 5m swimming pool sits just below the cottage, surrounded by stone walls, woodland and open views across the valley. Completely private and perfectly positioned for sunlight, it’s a wonderful place to cool off during the warm summer months. The pool features shallow steps for easy access, a solar-heated shower and subtle lighting for magical
night-time dips. Whether you’re relaxing on a lounger, drifting in the water or watching the light change across the hillside, this peaceful spot is a highlight of any stay at Genévrier.
Cuisine d’été
Shaded Outdoor Dining & Relaxing
One of the cottage’s most-loved features is the spacious cuisine d’été — a covered outdoor kitchen and dining area perfect for sunny days and balmy evenings. Supported by thick oak beams and topped with traditional canal tiles, it provides welcome shade during the heat of summer. Comfortable wicker chairs and a generous dining table make it ideal for long lunches, sunset suppers and unhurried evenings with a bottle of local wine.
The adjoining utility area includes a washing machine, double sink and large fridge-freezer, giving you all the space you need for food, drinks and preparation.
Natural Spaces to Sit & Unwind
The garden at Genévrier blends beautifully with the surrounding landscape. Shaded spots beneath the oak trees offer cool places to sit on warm days, while sunny terraces near the cottage open out to views across the valley. Wildflowers, juniper and honeysuckle create a gentle, natural feel — perfect for reading, relaxing or enjoying a quiet moment outdoors.
