Great property

This property is spacious and very well equipped. The pool looks great, a bit chilly this time of year (April). The view from the property is magnificent with the snowcapped Pyrenees in the distance.

Friends stay

Upon arrival there were some issues that were taken care of by the property manager, Dawn who was very attentive to our concerns. The location was exceptional for visiting all points of interest in the area. The view of the mountains was commanding. Cailau is lovely.

A splendid week in a spacious and very comfortable house

We had a very enjoyable week in the house. It is spacious, comfortable, and very well located right at the heart of the village of Cailhau. All the bedrooms are en-suite, and three of them have the most amazing views towards the Corbieres and Pyrenees mountains. There is a very well maintained pool, and an attractive garden and outdoor seating area. Dawn, who looks after the house, gave us a warm welcome and was always on hand in case of any problems. I thoroughly recommend this property to anybody planning a family or group stay in the Languedoc.

Great Time

We had a lovely stay at the end of June 2023. The weather was scorching hot so the pool came in very handy. The house is very well equipped and the views are to die for. The house was very roomy with all bedrooms en suite. The boulangerie in Belveze du Razes is very good, 5 mins drive from the house. We had a fantastic wine pairing at Domaine Gayda with lovely food. About 45 mins walk from the house. Just follow the Google Maps walking route.

Stunning Property in a Gorgeous Location

The villa is exactly as shown in the photographs and the location is fantastic! Communication with Shon was excellent and i just wish i had asked more questions about what was provided such as cool bags etc so we reduced our weight limit flying out. Sadly there were a lot of mosquitoes and no anti plugs were set up in the house but we eventually found them and got sorted. Some of the details could be updated such as the local shop closing at 7.30pm which caught us out and a better description to where the pizza van. We sadly also never heard the bread van! I would certainly recommend to others

luxuriöses Ferienhaus mit genialem Ausblick

Sehr empfehlenswertes Haus, das groß, komfortabel, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sauber ist. Es liegt absolut ruhig und doch nicht verlassen, hat einen großen Garten, einen sehr schönen geräumigen Pool und einen Ausblick auf die Pyrenäen, den man nie wieder vergessen wird. Die Umgebung ist touristisch noch wenig erschlossen, aber es gibt alles, was man braucht (guter Bäcker und sehr guter Schlachter in Belvèze, sehr großer und sauberer Leclerc in Limoux sowie Gaststätten und Weingüter auch mit Direktverkauf). Ein wunderbarer Ort, um sich in schöner Natur zu erholen und zu entspannen. Mit dem Auto sind interessante Orte , Burgen und Klöster gut erreichbar. Eine ortsansässige englische Dame kümmert sich freundlich, hilfsbereit und kompetent um alles.

Magnifique villa très bien équipée.

Un excellent séjour mais ne pas oublier les anti moustiques ! Piscine superbe. Chambres spacieuses et confortables. Il ne manquait rien et une bouteille de Limoux bien fraîche nous attendait et a été appréciée. Des moustiquaires aux fenêtres seraient pratiques quand il fait très chaud .

About the host

We are a UK based couple with interests in walking, skiing, good food and wine. We have always loved travelling in France and when we discovered this part of France , we were delighted with the rural beauty, peace and tranquillity yet only half an hour's drive from historic Carcassonne and just over an hour from the coast near Narbonne. We hope guests will also enjoy exploring this lovely area or relaxing in the house and garden.

Nous sommes un couple basé au Royaume-Uni avec des intérêts dans la marche, le ski, la bonne cuisine et le vin. Nous avons toujours adoré voyager en France et lorsque nous avons découvert cette partie de la France, nous avons été ravis de la beauté rurale, de la paix et de la tranquillité, à seulement une demi-heure de route de la ville historique de Carcassonne et à un peu plus d'une heure de la côte près de Narbonne. Nous espérons que les clients apprécieront également d'explorer cette belle région ou de se détendre dans la maison et le jardin privé paisible donnant sur la campagne locale.
