Charming vacation rental with a hot tub near the Cathar Castles

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cette maison pleine de charme à la décoration très soignée. Elle est très bien équipée et reste fraiche. Même le préau préserve des fortes chaleurs. Nous avons profité des jeux de société lors des heures les plus chaudes (joie de redécouvrir le Monopoly et Docteur Maboul !...)

Ancienne boutique pleine de charme, restaurée et aménagée avec goût. Dépaysement et calme assurés. On s'y sent bien. Un grand merci à Alain pour son accueil ainsi qu'à Marc pour sa disponibilité et ses nombreux bons conseils pour découvrir la région. Nous recommandons ++++

This old stone cottage in a small village is a gem; comfortable, well furnished, and in a beautiful area. Local information from Marc and a greeting and orientation from Alain were both excellent. We ventured in a different direction each day and particularly enjoyed Mirepoix and its restaurants and Monday market. Special thanks to Alain.

Marc has renovated the property so that there’s a washing machine, dishwasher and plenty of hot water for the shower. But it’s still highly original with stone and wood stairs and features such as an amazing old stone sink in the kitchen. The garden is private and it was lovely sitting out in the roofed area which protected us from both the sun and rain! Thank you to Alain who provided a warm welcome when we arrived. We loved the area. The house is located midway between Limoux for wine tasting and Mirepoix for the fabulous Monday market. We also went to Carcassonne which we thought was a bit too ‘Disney ‘. We much preferred Montsegur and Peyrepertuse A highlight was walking up St Barthelemy. An interesting house to stay in and a lovely area with lots to see and do

So amazing to be able to stay in this tiny and ancient village in an authentically renovated home. The house was comfortable with everything we needed. Hosts were very friendly & helpful and it was a great base for exploring the beautiful countryside all around. Thank you!

We spent a week with our children in this lovingly restored house, which feels more like a home than a holiday rental. The owner, Marc, was incredibly helpful, sending us lots of information about the area before we arrived, and we were given a warm welcome by the keyholder, Alain (who speaks excellent English). Many long evenings were spent outside on the terrace watching swallows and house martins, and we especially enjoyed visiting the local towns of Mirepoix and Limoux, exploring the many châteaux in the area and bathing in nearby lakes. A most memorable holiday - thank you!

My husband and I had spent some time in the area a few years ago and loved it and so got drawn back. We couldn't have been happier to come back with two of our children, visiting the market town of Mirepoix is a treat, bicyling and walking in the beautiful surroundings was heavenly. Alain and Marc's father were both very helpful when something was needed and we loved the atmosphere of the house. We would come back again! Thank you. Camilla
