True village living!

A great place to base yourself in the area. The two castles in the valley both well worth the visit. A great host and a well presented place to stay in an amazing little hilltop town. Thanks very much.

Charming and comfortable apartment in a fascinating and beautiful village

We had a truly wonderful stay in Cucugnan. The village is charming and the area brimming over with history, interesting walks and fascinating places to discover. Tips and local knowledge provided by Claire, the owner, made our holiday even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend not only the area but Cucugnan and this apartment in particular. A memorable week.

Wonderful stay in Cucugnan

We enjoyed our stay at Claire’s place in Cucugnan very much. She is a very friendly and helpful Scottish lady, and it was very comfortable to be able to communicate in English. She gave a lot of tips about wine tasting in the surrounding so we brought some nice wines home. Claire, thanks a lot for your hospitality! Best, Peter and Lieke

Great stay

Claire is a wonderful host; she met us at the door, and spent time showing us the site, and serving us wine and local information. The small flat is on two levels below the main living area in her house, and has a fully equipped kitchen, shower/bath, separate bedroom. Functional internet. Good heating throughout for our spring stay. The village itself is really quite lovely: fairly busy, boasts a trio of restaurants, a bar, an artisanal boulangerie and a winery, and is an easy trip to several Cathar castles and other day hikes. We had a very nice visit! Thanks, Claire :)

Great place for relaxing and sight seeing

We recently spent five days here and would highly recommend it as a base for exploring the stunning countryside and historic sites nearby, in particular the Cathar castles. The approach to Cucugnan is very dramatic coming from the south, as there is a steep climb up towards Queribus (the nearest castle, built on a vertiginously high rock), then a descent towards the village, which sits above vineyards. On arrival we found the flat (it's actually on two levels) to be very clean, comfortable and well-equipped, and the owner had thoughtfully bought some fresh supplies for us, besides what was in the store cupboard, including milk, butter and delicious bread from Cucugnan's famous bakery, next to the windmill. She also invited us in for a drink so we could sample a couple of the wines drunk as aperitifs locally, and told us some more about the village and what to look out for. The bedroom, which is on the lower level, opened onto a small terraced garden overlooking the beautiful landscape. Cucugnan is a very pretty village, not overly busy in early July, with three restaurants, all good but one in particular served real gourmet food and we would recommend eating there at least once as a not overly expensive treat. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to go back one day to see more of this fascinating part of France.

A lovely appartment in a pretty village offering all you could want for a fantastic holiday

What a delightful time we spent in Claire's appartment in Cucugnan! It is clean, well equipped and very comfortable with a small garden where we sat sipping local wine each evening. Nothing was too much trouble for Claire (She lives above.) and she was not only very welcoming (offering us glasses of her favourite wines accompanied by delicious snacks and home-made savoury tart) but provided us with a 'starter-pack' of basic food essentials. She was also an endless source of local knowledge and useful information. The village, which hugs a hill, with a windmill on top, has a choice of three restaurants and a couple of bars that offer a range of delicious food; a grocery store/post office; a bakery (producing artisanal bread), a few small pottery/craft studios; several little souvenir shops, a winery and a honey producer. There is everything you need on site so sorties to bigger towns are not necessary to buy supplies and gifts. We came home laden with local wine,and honey, colourful bowls and home-made soap. The surrounding countryside is magnificent with stunning views from the village. We walked for miles every day; swam in the cool, clear rivers and did our cultural bit when we visited Queribus and Peyrepertuse Chateaux perched on the top of rocky outcrops nearby. There are weekly markets on different days in surrounding towns and 'vide grenier' events, too. In fact, there was so much to do, that we ended up reading a lot less than usual! To top everything, the weather was superb. We wanted for nothing and we highly recommend both the place and the appartment for a blissful break. Thank you Claire for looking after us so well.

It is always a great pleasure for an owner to see so many of the positive and interesting points, both of the accommodation and of the area, mentioned and appreciated. I am all the more encouraged to continue "look after" all my future guests. Thank you.

Lovely accommodation, charming town

I'm happy to write a very positive review of this holiday accommodation. It is described accurately but I would say that this "flat" is almost a house and there is plenty of space. We really appreciated the good quality of the furniture and fittings, the large rooms and the fact that the kitchen, bathroom etc looked pristine and only recently fitted. I must also mention that the owner made us very welcome indeed, even inviting us in for drinks so that she could show us all the best places to visit on the map. Very much appreciated and a nice touch. The village itself is characterful and very picturesque. What makes Cucugnan and surrounding area special though are the amazing views from high on the surrounding mountains and down into deep gorges - really memorable. The two very nearby Cathar castles offer really stunning views of the mountain tops stretching away into the distance. The area is very unspoilt and we saw eagles, stretches of wild flowers and beautiful butterflies. It's probably worthwhile doing some research on the loveliest beaches to visit and we never encountered uncomfortably large crowds of tourists anywhere we visited. We recommend a visit to Perpignan combined with a beach trip and a day in Collioure is a must. Taking the Little Yellow Train up to the top of Mont Louis is a great experience too. Of course, the region is famous for wine producing and vineyards and tastings abound everywhere. The only two points of caution I would mention is that when we visited at the end of June, the weather was sometimes overcast and windy although it was mostly glorious and sunny. Also, it seems to be the local custom to eat early and go home, so we often sat in the back garden in the evening with a book and a bottle of wine. All in all we had a lovely romantic holiday, quiet and relaxing and above all enjoying beautiful scenery.

Cucugnan et Pays Cathare mai 2017

Nous avons séjourné 4 jours à Cucugnan pour visiter le Pays Cathare. Le village perché sur une petite colline est charmant avec son moulin planté au sommet et une vue sur le château de Quéribus. La propriétaire Mme Campbell nous a offert un apéritif de bienvenue et donner des conseils sur les lieux à découvrir. L'appartement est grand, la cuisine bien équipée, le wifi accessible. Seul petit bémol : problème d'évacuation d'eau du fait que le logement est en sous-sol.

agreable

L' appartement de claire se situe dans un petit village au milieu des collines, paysage de rêves. Nous avons étés bien reçus malgré l' heure tardive d' arrivée, avec un apéro et des conseils sur les visites à effectuer et sur la beauté des lieux. L' appartement est constitué d' un salon-living, chambre, s-d-bains et hall d' entrée, bien entretenu, et pourvu d' assez de place pour déballer les valises d' un mois de vacances( plus machine à lessiver). Nous gardons un bon souvenir de la propriété et de la propriétaire. Si.... nous y retournerons. Petit bémol, ne convient pas pour personnes en difficulté de motricité dû aux escaliers, pour le reste.... 4 étoiles. Mia et Micaël

Gemütliches, sehr gut ausgestattetes Appartment in zentraler Lage für viele Ausflüge.

Nach sehr freundlichem Empfang durch die Vermieterin bezogen wir ein sauberes sehr gut ausgestattetes Appartment (Küche mehr als komplett, Waschmaschine und Gartensitzplatz). Wer gerne auch im Urlaub kocht ist hier bestens aufgehoben (Stabmixer, verschiedene Töpfe und Pfannen, Geschirr, Herd, Backofen und eine Muffinform (!!!!)) bilden die Küchenausstattung. Der ruhige Gartensitzplatz läd zum morgentlichen Kaffeetrinken ein. Die Vermieterin steht gerne mit Rat und Tat zur Seite und weiss auf Anfrage sehr gute Tips für Ausflüge, Restaurants usw. zu geben. Vielen Dank dafür. Cucugnan ein pitoreskes 137 Seelen-Dorf ist malerisch unter der Chatarer-Festung Queribus gelegen, in der ortsansässigen Bäckerei wird hervorragendes Brot (am besten reservieren) aus einer lange verloren gegangenen Getreidesorte gebacken und die Winzergenossenschaft verkauft sehr gute Weine zum täglichen Genuss. Der Ort liegt zentral für Ausflüge an die Küste, Perpignan (45min) nach Carcasonne (1,5 Std) oder verschiedene andere kulturelle Orte. Alles in allem können wir die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen, und werden auch gerne selbst wieder anreisen.
