Ferme du Battedou - Chambres d'hôtes

The climb up to Golinhac was 2 km, but we were so glad we’d stopped at Battedou Farm. It’s a lovely place to rest and unwind, and the gîte was very quiet, so we slept well. Claire greeted us warmly and kindly showed us to our room. Nico looked after us at dinner, which was excellent and made entirely with produce from the farm. He was such a lovely person. Breakfast the next morning was exceptional. We recommend Battedou Farm wholeheartedly.

It’s a little pricier than a standard cottage, but I thought it was worth it. The farm cottage has a rustic feel, sits right in nature, and the owners gave us a very warm welcome. We shared excellent meals made with fresh farm produce in their company. There’s also a pool, when it’s open. Getting there means taking the signposted wooded trail down from Golinhac for 2 km. It starts on the right after the church and doesn’t show up on Google Maps. The place feels genuinely unique and authentic.

We slept peacefully and came away feeling recharged. The gîte has room for quite a few people, and both the food and the setting felt authentic. Carine welcomed us simply and warmly, and there are farm products available to buy. Battèdou is a lovely, unusual place tucked into lush greenery, near the Lot gorges on the Camin d'Olt. The 2 km from Golinhac on the GR65 - Via Podiensis is worth it if you love nature and authentic Aveyron food. Thank you, Carine and François, for such a restorative stay, and for the generous, delicious cooking.

We stopped at La Ferme du Battelou for the night on the Camino de Santiago, and it was a lovely place to recover. The meal our host made with farm produce and other ingredients was generous and delicious. The extra 2 km beyond Golinhac is a short detour that’s well worth it. It’s a beautiful, peaceful spot surrounded by nature.
