Peaceful gite in the hills

This gite is a lovely place to stay, nestled in a very quiet and pretty rural location. The home is next to a stream, with woodland and hills all around. You can go for a great walk straight from the front door, and there is a pleasant garden to sit in and enjoy the peace. The home itself is well furnished and cosy, and Patrick was very helpful and friendly for check in and any issues we had.

Absolutely perfect

Thank you to Patrick and Liz for being such wonderful hosts. Their knowledge of the area and help when required was brilliant. Loved the walking guides and maps in the house. The house was very spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. The outside space was a delight. The area was beautiful, plenty to see and do. A great stay.

Countryside peace

What a lovely place! Sleep to the sound of the stream. Wake to birdsong. Step onto the terrace to the scent of honeysuckle and jasmine. Big paved area with 2 tables/chairs, so always somewhere to eat in the sun or shade. This leads to a garden bordered by a stream and a meadow, with more seats and loungers, sun and shade. The house cool in the heat, bright living area, big bathroom, comfy bed. The owners couldn't have been more helpful.

Très bon sejour

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour, le calme est vraiment appréciable. Patrick et Liz sont des hotes charmants à l'écoute et disponible pour tout. Leurs gite et spacieux et bien équipé. Un peu dommage que les commerces soient si loin, il vaut mieux prévoir avant si on ne souhaite pas trop bouger. Je recommande!

Apaisement total

Un cadre naturel et tres calme. La beauté de la nature egale le silence de paix qui y regne. Les propriétaires tres empathiques et surtout hyper discrets. Un ravissement de les avoir rencontrés !! Endroit ideal pour recharger ses batteries et aspirer au calme.

Rust te midden van het groen

Kloosters, kastelen, kerken, kloven en Katharen; dat zijn de dingen die deze streek typeren. Patrick en Liz, die naast het appartement wonen, zijn uiterst vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Door de hoge ligging kun je er koel slapen. Het is wel een eindje rijden naar de (bewoonde) wereld. erojden

Magnifique endroit et hôtes très sympathiques

Endroit magnifique, isolé, à savoir il vaut mieux faire les courses avant d'arriver, surtout si on arrive le dimanche. Plein d'orchidées et de paysages magnifiques, des vautours fauves à proximité et quantité de sites culturels et naturels à découvrir. Patrick et Liz sont très sympathiques et on est bien dans leur gîte.

Arrivée dans un cadre reposant et merveilleux.

La maison nous a offert tout ce dont nous avions besoin. Spacieuse, propre, calme, confortable, nous nous sommes senties à notre aise des notre arrivée. L accueil à été agréable, chaleureux. Patrick a su nous indiquer les sites à ne pas rater. La maison se situe à une équidistance de plein de sites à visiter et de ballades à faire. Les châteaux cathares, les abbayes, les gorges de galamus, une région riche et magnifique. Tant de choses reste encore à découvrir.

CALME ET VERDURE

Si au départ la proximité de la maison des propriétaires peut paraître gênante nous sommes vite rassurés par leur discrétion aussi bien que par leur disponibilité. Très beau gîte très bien agencé et fonctionnel et très bien situé pour visiter les châteaux cathares, Carcassonne et les abbayes environnantes. De plus Patrick et Liz sont charmants et nous ont indiqué des endroits très peu fréquentés par les touristes, très agréables, et notamment pour la baignade. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés.

Super séjour en amoureux

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en amoureux fin decembre au calme dans une maison propre et joliment décorée. La baignoire, le poêle à bois, la terrasse et le calme environnant sont les points forts de cette location. Le petit plus sont les hotes hyper accueillants et prévenants car ils sont au petit soins tout en etant très respectueux de votre intimité. Je recommande les yeux fermés si vous souhaitez vous reposer et couper complétement avec votre quoitidien stressant et la vie citadine. A refaire au printemps ça doit être encore meilleur.
