A beautiful and quiet property and location, with wonderful hosts and a very good breakfast. It was really a great stay and my only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. I would be a table-pounding advocate for anyone to stay there.

We discovered Les Hauts de Saulies thanks to a gift certificate we received. A beautiful, comfortable early 18th-century property, tastefully renovated and decorated. The owners are a welcoming and warm couple, attentive to their guests' every need. The home-style cooking, featuring local produce, is innovative, flavorful, and generous. The owners offer a well-documented tour of their vineyard, from the vines to a tasting of a historic Cahors vintage. We highly recommend this place for a truly memorable stay in the Lot region.

A truly charming place! Cyril and Véronique are incredibly generous and attentive hosts, while also being discreet. In short, everything you could want in a bed and breakfast.
A wonderful stay in a lovely, relaxing place ! We spent three nights at Les Hauts de Sauliès and were delighted with the experience! The room was spacious, quite cool despite the high temperatures, and had plenty of storage. The property is beautiful, and the pool was lovely and peaceful. We dined at the estate two evenings and thoroughly enjoyed Véronique's delicious and generous cuisine. She and her husband, Cyril, are charming and attentive hosts (with lovely little touches for our two-year-old son).

A perfect stay in a charming house, nestled in a beautiful wooded park with a lovely swimming pool that was much appreciated after walks and numerous visits to the surrounding area. The welcome was very warm, and the meals brilliantly combined original flavors with beautiful presentation: a big thank you to Véronique for her culinary talents and for the kindly impromptu extra touch she offered. In short, everything was perfect for a successful stay... a big thank you to our hosts.
