Cottage With pool, set in a private 5 hectare domaine, perfect for nature lovers

Overall a nice stay, hosts are great. location is very remote and quiet. Please note that the villa is in the middle of the woods and you may be visited with small fury guests!!!! Pool is close to trees and its difficult to keep it clean all day, pool was cleaned very well every day but any breeze will give you a layer on the pool. Layout of the house was not the best for us but that's a personal taste thing. House could do with a visitor manual, with instructions for TV and washing machine, contact numbers that sort of thing, Its the first villa we have rented that didn't have that. We liked the fact that you are within 30 mins of lots of lovely places to see. A must if you are in the area is the Saturday market in Revel best we have ever been to.

Propriété juste géniale si vous aimez être perdu au milieu des bois sautez sur l occasion Piscine très agréable Qualité de couchage top Propriétaires très gentils et discrets Au cœur d une sublime région A louer les yeux fermés

Un cadre magnifique, une maison parfaite, des hôtes très sympathiques et charmants, tout ce qu'il faut pour passer de bons moments pour évacuer le stress de la ville. A recommander vivement.

This place is perfect for someone, who likes places without other people around. Here you can find pure nature, privacy, remoteness and distance to the overaccelerated style of todays life. Nevertheless it is a good base to visit the kathar country with all it´s castles and other historic sites as well as to explore the black mountains and the Corbieres. For us it was always a good feeling to come back to this place after our excursions. The area around is perfect for cycling, too. The spot also is to recommend for families with children of every age. And it is worth to come back somewhen.

Un joli petit bâtiment rénové avec beaucoup de goût, une piscine intégrée à un parc verdoyant très naturel, le chant des oiseaux qui vient parfois couvrir le son de la rivière en contre-bas... Voilà ce que nous avons trouvé au Domaine de Badens. La maison est très bien équipée, confortable et adaptée pour quatre personnes. Il n'y a pas de clôture et la foret vous invite à vous y balader, à descendre le cours de la rivière pour faire des barrages avec les enfants, explorer ses rives ou simplement y tremper les pieds... Plusieurs activités sont possibles à moins de 30min du village (kart, bateau sur le canal du midi ou randonnées à vélo sur ses berges, baignades au lac, villages pittoresques, Carcassonne un peu plus loin...) mais le calme et la sérénité qui se dégagent de ce lieu ne vous incitent vraiment pas à l'hyperactivité ! Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour !

I want to thank Tim & Hilde for the most glorious holiday. The gite was lovely and very clean. It had tons of space (inside & out) for our family (we are a family of 5 with older children) & is set in the most beautiful surroundings. We loved our evening bbq’s, sitting at the back of the house for long dinners in the warm evenings. The kitchen was a lot bigger than the photos and loved our breakfasts as a family in there. The pool was also godsend for keeping us cool & the children entertained for hours. The house & area was so relaxing and comfortable we hardly ventured out. But we did manage to: Visit Carcassonne (medieval walled city) Go to the market at Revel (a fab large buzzy market on a Saturday) and then off to Lac Saint Ferreol after where there is a swimming area and the opportunity to hire canoes, paddle boards etc Hike the Bugarach mountain (a must! Thanks Tim & Hilde for this tip) Visit Rennes-le-Château (after the hike as it is in the same area – another must & interesting tip from Tim & Hilde) The house is also very close to the Canal du Midi & a day trip to the Med is possible (sadly we ran out time to actually do this …. an excuse to come back).  There are also 2 supermarkets close by and a great bakery in Saissac (cute village with gorgeous views). We would not hesitate to rebook. It was honestly the best & most relaxing holiday in many years. If you want to recharge, be in tranquillity and spend quality time with your family, this is the place. It feels so unspoilt and special. Thank you again Tim & Hilde.

It's was a wonderful time in a wonderful place.The magic is there in the morning, surrounded by songs of birds in the sun, all day nature offered me moments of happiness intence and the setting of the day through the branches is to melt with joy. When night falls, the sky and its thousands of stars is within reach. I slept in the tower in the midst of the summits of the trees, the gentle night sounds of the forest lulled me. A sublime place if you are listening to the surroundings ... A little paradise on earth.

We booked this beautiful house for a relaxing two week holiday in the lovely region of Languedoc-Roussillon, taking the Eurostar to Avignon then driving. This property looked great online and then exceeded our expectations, it's finished to a very high standard and you have all the space you could need both inside and out. I thoroughly enjoyed sunning myself on the patio then jumping into the pool to cool down, you then have a private patio at the rear of the house where we had several BBQ's in the evening. The wooded setting is idyllic, so peaceful, it's worth taking a walk around the back of the property to see the old dam. There's also plenty to do in the area, we went to the market in Mirepoix several times to stock up the kitchen cupboards and the butchers in Alzone is superb. We took day trips to Carcassonne and Mazamet as well as exploring the local towns and villages. I can highly recommend Maison Gayda for a delightful meal with stunning scenery, you may also want to visit their winery as well as Les Cedres de Robert not far from the house. Tim and Hilde were delightful and made us feel very welcome, booking the property was easy and we throughly enjoyed our holiday. The house is not only a great base to explore the area it's a pleasure stay in, shame we had leave!
