Great mansion and beautiful setting

This large mansion is perfect for large family groups. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, relaxing by the pool, walking in the grounds / local woods and taking day trips out to Carcassonne, the Abbaye de Fontfroid and Latours. The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean, and the kitchen fine for cooking large family meals. We ate all our meals outside in the back of the house or at the side. The nearby villages of Cazilhac and Palaja are easy to get to and include Patisserie / bread shops, small supermarket and chemist..everything you need for your holiday. Isabelle was most helpful and the perfect host. Thank you!

1 semaine au calme, dans un super cadre !!

Très bon séjour dans une demeure agréable à vivre quand on est nombreux. A 5 minutes de Carcassonne, en pleine campagne. Pas de voisins proches donc, on était vraiment tranquille. Chambres spacieuses, salles de bain également grandes, cuisine fonctionnelle. Literie super sauf les 2 petits lits d'une chambres d'enfant. Maison fraîche même quand il fait très chaud. Extérieurs vastes. Piscine grande, très agréable. Maison idéale avec des enfants, avec des amis. Qqs petites remarques qui n'ont pour autant pas gâché notre séjour: pas de rideaux occultants, il fait plein jour à 7h du matin. Une partie de la demeure est habitée. Même les locataires étaient très discrets, ça n'est pas stipulé dans l'annonce.

Les gardiens qui se trouvaient à coté de la maison sont partis et leur logement est désormais rattaché à la maison et loué en même temps aux mêmes vacanciers. Leur présence était signalée sur l'annonce à la case "concierge". J'ai mis des rideaux occultant dans les chambres pour que les vacanciers ne soient pas réveillés par le jour. Merci pour vos commentaires.

A charming country villa with plenty of room for family and guests.

The large 5-bedroom classic country manor house is situated among the vineyards 10 minutes (6 kilometers) from Carcassone. The house had plenty of room for us to invite guests to visit and stay during our rental. The pool is well maintained and the grounds are peaceful and isolated. The closest neighbors are two chestnut-colored horses in a nearby pasture. Three of the bedrooms have queen beds and en suite bath areas. The other two bedrooms have double beds and share a bath area. All the bathrooms are newly remodeled. Plenty of towels are supplied. The furnishings in the house are handsome and comfortable. The house has wi-fi and TV and cell phone coverage. There is a spacious kitchen, a full range of cookware and dishes, the usual appliances, and a barbecue in back of the house. The house has a view of the valley and the colors in evening light are spectacular. We explored the medieval fortress (La Cite), the Centre Ville of Carcassonne and the surrounding area. The property has trails through the forest around the house. We also took walks through the vineyards to neighboring Palaja and Cazilhac (2 km). Morning coffee can be had in both, and the boulangerie in Cazilhac has almond croissants for under a Euro. Most enjoyable were the dinners al fresco in back of the house with as many as 15 guests. Barcelona or Provence are within reach by train and train service to and from Carcassonne is good. In summary, this rental is a very roomy classic French manor house in a peaceful location with an enjoyable pool, and has a very serviceable kitchen in which to cook for a crowd. This rental lends itself to gatherings of friends or family and makes a good base from which to see many interesting places in France and Spain (we even went to Andorra).

Cadre ideal pour vacances reussies

La maison a beaucoup de charme et est située dans un cadre superbe, très calme, en pleine nature. La piscine est idéale pour petits et grands, et est suffisamment ensoleillée. La description donnée sur ce site correspond parfaitement a la réalité. Autre atout, cette location est très bien située pour découvrir cette belle région

Très beau gîte

La maison est très agréable et la propriétaire des lieux très gentille. L'endroit est isolé dans la campagne et la piscine très belle avec un petit bémol : elle est trop ombragée ce qui est dommage. Concernant la maison, tout est tb équipé. Il y a suffisamment de salles d'eau, la tv et internet marchent tb. Il manque des rideaux ou stores aux salles de bain. La literie n'est pas excellente mais reste très bonne. C'est un gîte que je conseille bien volontiers pour passer une semaine dans le pays. Nous avons été très satisfait. Merci bcp !

Merci pour vos remarques, elles m'ont permis d'élaguer l'arbre qui faisait de l'ombre à côté de la piscine et de changer la literie.
