About this property
Gite Mantely - Heated Pool & Nature
Mantely Cottage, an exceptional place nestled in the heart of a private 17-hectare property blending forests and meadows, classified as 4 stars, for a stay where luxury and serenity meet. This haven of peace offers you a large heated swimming pool, 6 elegant bedrooms accommodating up to 14 people. Prepare yourself for a pure wellness and rejuvenation getaway with family or friends.
Mantely is more than just a cottage: it is a place steeped in history and emotions. My father, André, acquired this farm in 1961, driven by his dream of bringing this place lost in the woods back to life. With my mother and brothers, he transformed this property, which was initially without water or electricity, into a house full of charm and memories. In 1990, a fire marked our history by ravaging part of the estate, but my father's courage allowed its reconstruction. Today, I am proud to continue his work by opening Mantely to those who, like us, love nature and serenity. This place, imbued with family heritage, is a true invitation to recharge.

On site, everything is planned so that everyone finds their happiness:
Boules court, ping-pong table, and board games for friendly moments.

Nous avons séjourné ici entre amis pour le Nouvel An et quelle claque ! C’est une perle rare, à seulement 1h de Toulouse. Tout était parfait : la vue est incroyable, les chambres sont ultra confortables et on a adoré la déco, d'une élégance et d'une harmonie rares. On sent que chaque détail a été pensé avec goût.
Un grand merci à Hélène pour son accueil si chaleureux et sa gentillesse.
On reviendra sans hésiter aux beaux jours pour tester cette grande piscine ! À bientôt.

Nature et bulle de calme
Nous avons passé d’excellentes vacances dans cette bulle de calme au milieu de la forêt. Quel plaisir de ne rien entendre si ce n’est le bruit de la nature, même la pluie ne nous a pas dérangé. Et voir les biches si proches, quelle bonne surprise ! Bravo pour cette rénovation très réussie à laquelle rien ne manque et merci à Hélène pour sa réactivité et sa grande sympathie, nous recommandons chaudement ce logement familial pour vos vacances. À très bientôt

Site magnifique et maison tout autant à conseiller
Nous avons passé un excellent weekend au gîte Mantély.
Le logement était bien équipé et agencé pour 10 adultes (nous avions les deux parties du gîte).
Les équipements prévus pour les enfants sont un plus (chaise haute, balançoire ...).
Le cadre est très agréable, en pleine nature.
Enfin, la communication avec Hélène a été très appréciée (hôte réactive et arrangeante), merci !
Il ne nous reste plus qu'à y retourner à la belle saison pour profiter davantage des différentes terrasses et de la piscine chauffée !

Merci infiniment Chloé pour votre commentaire.
En effet, le gîte en pleine nature est un havre de paix. À la belle saison, c’est un lieu fleurissant, nature et une expérience en totale déconnection et profiter en même temps de sa piscine chauffée, pétanque, rando et salons à différents endroits du parc.
Je serai ravie de vous recevoir à nouveau
