We love the area around Carcassonne and Limoux and have been visiting here for many years. The people are very friendly and the Mediterranean climate means warm long summers and mild winters.

So a little bit about the villa. Its set in the Malpare hills looking south towards the Pyrenees. The fields of vines surrounding the villa are part of the Gayda Domain, a domain that prides itself on organic farming methods. The grapes are still picked by hand each year making September a great time to visit. There is nothing better than sitting on the terrace drinking wine watching other people work :-) Gayda Domain is about a 1 mile walk down the lane or a 2 minute drive away and has a fantastic restaurant which is well worth a visit.
The villa has 3 double bedrooms and an annex to the master bedroom with a single bed. There is a king size double bed in the master suite and an en-suite bathroom with jacuzzi bath and private upper terrace, great for morning coffee. The two downstairs bedrooms have a kingsize double in the rear bedroom with views to the mountains and two single beds in the third bedroom. There is a fully equipped kitchen and open plan dining and lounge area with remote control wood burner. Great if you are using the villa in winter as a base for skiing, which is only an hour away.
Outside there is a breakfast terrace to the side, an upper terrace and bbq area at the rear and a lower terrace and garden with a 10 x 5 meter pool. All south facing with stunning views of the vines and the mountains.
