Tout c'est bien passé. Monique est une hote adorable. Les enfants ont adorés s'occuper des chevaux les matins. Seul bemol, les mouches (le gite est au dessus de l'ecurie) sont envahissantes

Très beau séjour

Nous avons vraiment apprécié cet hébergement de vacances: au milieu de la nature, avec la compagnie des chevaux et le chant des cigales, une très grande terrasse et un intérieur bien agencé. Le centre du village est accessible en 10 minutes de marche. Pour couronner le tout, les hôtes sont vraiment adorables. Nous conseillons vivement ce logement aux voyageurs.

Another wonderful visit!

We returned to Lou Catou with our extended family this year and had a wonderful time. Monique and Gerard are very welcoming hosts. The accommodation is well equipped, the pool is lovely and the setting beautiful. Yougi the dog is a big favourite with us too. Thank you again for having us!

Super vakantie

Tof huisje/appartement in een heel toffe streek met veel ontspanningsmogelijkheden. Door de privé weg naar het verblijf is er geen drukte van verkeer en overige... Het zwembad was heel erg goed verzorgd, de kinderen hebben hier dagelijks in gespeeld. Over het verblijf: het was voor ons een erg comfortabel en groot appartement (met warmtepomp). De gastheer en -vrouw waren ontzettend vriendelijk en gaven veel interessante tips over de regio. Vanop ons terras zagen we de paarden op hun weide rondlopen (ze sliepen onder ons maar totaal geen last of geluidshinder). Paardengeur hoorde er wel bij :). Zeker een verblijf om te onthouden (en terug te keren).

Wonderful place with a warm welcome

We had a lovely holiday here thanks to a warm welcome from Monique and Gerard. The property is immaculate with everything your need, lovely antique furniture, comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. The terrace and pool are lovely and you can explore the grounds too. It's a short walk into town for fresh bread and a good selection of shops and cafes. We will return!

Schöne Wohnung

Die Wohnung liegt im EG, insgesamt vermieten die Besitzer 3 Wohnungen (eine oberhalb, eine gegenüber), die Vermieter wohnen 2 Minuten weiter. Wir waren mit 3 Kindern in der sehr geräumigen Wohnung, sehr gepflegte Umgebung/Pool, mässig ausgestattete Küche, Monique und Gérard sind tolle Gastgeber! Joyeuse ist in Gehdistanz, viele Restaurants, einen größeren Supermarkt, Bäckerei etc. 5 bis 10 Minuten zu Fuss. Herzlichen Dank, wir kommen gerne wieder!
