Wonderful week at La Bomba
A group of 8 friends had an amazing week here. Bedrooms are enormous with very comfy beds. Plenty of different seating areas to accommodate large groups inside and outside. We were lucky with the weather most days so our evenings were spent outside under the amazing stars. We have stayed in many holiday rental properties before but none of them were as well equipped for self catering as La Bomba. Every utensil that you could possibly need was there. To add to all this the swimming pool far exceeded our expectations and much fun was had in it. We enjoyed our trip to Castelnaudary on market day which was well worth a visit. Carcassonne and Revel were also lovely. The owner Sam couldn't have been more helpful.

Idyllic
La Bomba is most inviting as you approach the property and once inside the grounds it continues to delight. Various outdoor seating areas suit different times of the day, there's lawn to play on and the pool is super. La Bomba's interior is spacious and well equipped and the grand salon, with its table tennis and football tables, was a big hit. Saint Paulet is a great location and, despite sitting in very quiet countryside, it has easy access to major routes into Toulouse, Castelnaudary, Carcassonne and further afield. Cite l'espace and Carcassonne are both well worth a visit and the Grotte de Limousis was engaging. All three of these kept our 9 year old interested. Closer to La Bomba it was nice to walk along the Rigole straight from the house and there are some super restaurants nearby - most notably l'Auberge du Poids Public in St. Felix. The boulangerie in Souilhe delivers bread twice a week to the door which added a delightful authenticity to the holiday. Sam, the owner, was very helpful both before and during our stay, answering all queries promptly. La Bomba was an excellent choice providing super holiday memories.

Great family holiday
We chose this for our 30th wedding anniversary celebration, we had a party of 11 people ranging from 1 to 60, on arrival we were amazed at the stunning approach to the property which can be seen from the village on the hill, the house is amazing, the younger members loved the snug, the grand salon was impressive and we enjoyed many an evening with everyone playing cards, games etc.The children especially enjoyed the table tennis. The pool is awesome and even in late May to early June was very warm. We barbecued most evenings and the outdoor dining area accommodated all of us easily. The bedrooms were huge and each one unique. We would have no hesitation in recommending this as an ideal family holiday.

Stunning French farmhouse with gorgeous pool.
Fabulous farm house that is beautifully decorated and with stunning gardens. We loved the roses, the pool, the sun loungers, the shutters - in fact everything. When we stayed the surrounding fields were full of sunflowers. Inside it is beautifully designed, with views from every window. We particularly liked the table tennis table. Great idea. Nearby there was lots to do - there were some very good markets nearby. The house was so lovely we didn't make it to nearby Carcassone. Next time we will! Lovely local walks too! I would love to come back with my mum and step-dad (there are downstairs bedrooms and they are all quite spread out, so it feels very private). The owner, Sam, was very charming and full of good local knowledge. 10/10. Perfection!

About the host

Hosted by Sam Cash

Host profile image
Francophile and former TV executive-turned-chef, I first bought the house as a wreck back in 2001. After 4 fraught but rewarding years, La Bomba was finally habitable and fit for guests in the summer of 2005.

The following year my wife and I got married in the village church and we held the reception in the house and grounds. Without a doubt the happiest day of my life and you can see some photos on the website - details below.

After 15 years in London we now live in the bustling port city of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands where we run a catering business.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the area when visiting my sister who was living there for a few months on an exchange back in 2001. The area is known locally as the Lauragais and it is a truly undiscovered gem of a region.

Fantastically fertile, in the summer it is a riot of colour with wonderful vistas of sunflowers, wheat, and poppies in every direction. Though there's masses of good wine produced locally (Minervois, Corbieres, Fitou) the soil of the Lauragais is far too good for grapes!

If there's one thing lacking it is immediate proximity to the sea but there's a fantastic pool at the property and there's even a beach just 15 minutes away at Lac Saint Ferreol.

Once you've come once you will want to come again and again. It is one of the most delightful spots on earth.
