Arrived tired, cold and damp, following long drive on rainy and unseasonably cold day. Greeted with friendly hosts who showed us around cosy apartment with log fire blazing. All seemed bigger than online photos. Well stocked kitchen and welcome pack of various treats, including local speciality of Limoux. Everywhere beautifully clean.
Soon settled in, ready to explore our beautiful rooms with comfortable beds, soft bedding, and well-chosen furniture both modern and antique, all harmonising perfectly in this mountain apartment. An added touch were the fresh flowers everywhere.
We came to relax, and relax we did! Cleaning is included for end of holiday, and no book of 'rules'! Liz and Alan are the best of hosts, and help their guests enjoy their holiday to the full. We had a well heated pool to enjoy whenever we wished, a balcony to relax on, sofas and blankets to curl up with to read by the log fire, or sun loungers to doze on, or to watch clouds go by and perhaps see a vulture or an eagle riding the thermals.
Views from balcony are wonderful, impossible to capture effectively on camera. Atmosphere of peace and calm, with birdsong, fresh clear air, and views that change dramatically with weather and time of day. These will live on in our memory. Lucky Alan and Liz to live here and to enjoy these sights every day. They are truly wonderful hosts, discrete, thoughtful, knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you for making our holiday such a wonderful experience.
