The hotel has real character, and the owners, especially Nico who was constantly present, was fantastic - we shared a glass of wine one evening in front of the fire. However, it is a hard uphill 600m walk to old Cordes (but it is fairly easy to...

La Maison au Puits
La Maison au Puits is a lovingly restored historic house located in the heart of the medieval hilltop village of Cordes-sur-Ciel, one of the most beautiful villages in France. Built around an ancient well that still gives the house its name, this characterful home offers an atmosphere of calm, authenticity and understated elegance. The house is run by Mirjam, your host, who welcomes guests personally and with great care. Her aim is simple: to offer a place where you can slow down, feel at home and truly experience the spirit of the region. La Maison au Puits offers three charming guest rooms, each with its own personality. The rooms are furnished with a mix of antique pieces, natural materials and soft colours, creating a warm and restful ambiance. Comfort has been carefully considered: quality bedding, private bathrooms and thoughtful details ensure a pleasant stay, whether you are here for one night or several days. In the morning, guests are invited to enjoy a homemade breakfast, prepared with attention and love. Whenever possible, local and seasonal products are used. Breakfast is a quiet moment to start the day, either inside the house or, weather permitting, outdoors, while planning your explorations. The house itself is a place to unwind. Thick stone walls keep it pleasantly cool in summer, while its intimate rooms and gentle light make it equally welcoming in cooler seasons. From the doorstep, you can wander directly into the winding streets of Cordes-sur-Ciel, discover artisan workshops, galleries, cafés and breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside. La Maison au Puits is ideal for travellers who appreciate authenticity, tranquillity and personal hospitality. It is a perfect base for exploring the Tarn region, enjoying long walks, visiting local markets, or simply taking time to rest and reconnect. More than just a place to stay, La Maison au Puits is a home where guests are welcomed with genuine attention and where many return, drawn by...
My name is Mirjam, and I am the proud owner and host of La Maison au Puits, a small and welcoming guesthouse with three chambres d’hôtes in the heart of Cordes-sur-Ciel. I love creating a place where guests feel at ease from the moment they arrive. Hosting is about attention, simplicity and genuine hospitality. I enjoy welcoming people from different backgrounds and helping them discover the beauty, calm and authenticity of this special region. La Maison au Puits is not just a place to stay, but a home filled with care, history and warmth. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing my love for the house and its surroundings.
La Maison au Puits is located in the heart of Cordes-sur-Ciel, a beautifully preserved medieval hilltop village in southwest France. The village is entirely pedestrian, with winding cobbled streets, historic stone houses, artisan workshops and stunning views over the surrounding countryside. Set among vineyards, forests and gentle valleys, the area is ideal for walking, cycling and exploring the Tarn region. Nearby markets, small villages and cultural highlights such as Albi are easily reached.
