Grand jardin, piscine privée, proche des montagnes au sud-ouest de Carcassonne

This is such a gorgeous, well equipped property in a lovely part of France.The pool and gardens were particularly great, but the thing that made our holiday were the hosts, Alan and Barbara. Their welcome and advice about the area( if we asked for it) meant that we got the very best experience.

Really excellent communication with Alan and Barbara. The property was so well equipped ( the best we have ever experienced) We made excellent use of the beautiful pool and Alan and Barbara were so friendly and really helpful. Such a lovely holiday in an outstanding location.

We had a fabulous Holiday, the villa was excellent with plenty of room and well furnished with everything you could need and with lovely views over the surrounding area from the terrace as well.The pool was also superb set in a lovely garden.The hosts Alan and Barbara were helpful and friendly with excellent knowledge of the area.The local area is great with plenty of place to see and visit

wonderful area, the most beautiful scenery round every corner, quiet roads, friendly people. a perfect spot to explore the area, an easy drive to Mirepoix, Limoux, Quillian and the Pyreenes. so much to delight.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to South West France. Alan and Barbara are perfect hosts - warm, welcoming and thoughful- nothing was too much trouble and they anticipated and met our every need. The house is spacious and well-equipped and pool and garden delighful. The setting is fabulous - peaceful and relaxing with georgous views over fields and woodland and the foothills of the Pyrenees Audoise. Just outside Chalabre, the location is great for exploring the upper Aude and Arriege area and there is good walking and some fine eating in the area. I'd recommend an early visit to the tourist office (Office Intercommunale) to pick up individual walks leaflets. Alan and Barbara have an excellent library of novels, history and French language, history and culture books, so save weight in your luggage. Our weather was varied- unseasonably cool and damp on some days, very warm and sunny on others, but there are places to visit and things to do whatever the weather. We'd thoroughly recommend it and may well return ourselves.

Property is perfect for a family stay, roomy, clean, and everything you need inc English TV for the kids and a few games. Swimming pool was lovely, clean, and gated for safety. Hosts were both welcoming and very helpful with bits of advice or loaning of an umbrella when occasion arose. The area is tranquil and beautiful, nearby towns, villages and lakes have everything you might need and make for lovely outings. Lots of good visits further afield too but we didn't bother. Recommended, and we may well book again.

Alan Barbara are truly excellent host. They made us feel very welcome and even made sure we had some basic supplies on our arrival (incl. wine !). They spent a lot of time and energy renovating their house / gite, and the end result is exquisite (incl gardens pool). There are many activities for children in the area (tree trekking water sports at Lac de Montbel, cycling on the Voie Verte, white water rafting and sightseeing in Foix, caves, and many more !). We would happily go back there and would highly recommend that you give it a try, you won't regret it.

Wow, we have just returned from our 2 week holiday, and what an amazing time we had! Beautiful property with stunning views of the Pyrenees. The house is extremely well equipped, with everything you could possibly need, and the pool is fantastic. Alan and Barbara are the perfect hosts, giving us lots of advice and recommendations on places to visit. An absolutely brilliant holiday, we look forward to returning!

Très bon accueil par Barbara et Alan. Idéal pour une famille, beaucoup d'activités à proximité (VTT sur la voie verte, Accrobranches au château de Chalabre et à Crapahut, lac de Montbel ou de Puivert, chateaux cathares, marchés et concerts à Mirepoix...) et une grande piscine. Commerces dans le village de Chalabre (petit carrefour, boulangerie, pharmacie...)
