“very professional and welcoming holiday location” - the flat was very clean, and all utilitues/facilities were present ! - the swimming pool was an extra positive facility - the owners took great care of the contact between the peds (our dog and theirs) , the garden was wel kept, - small details were very charming: bread, butter and a bottle of wine after a long day of travelling is so welcoming - we had some nice conversations together but they respected our privacy - it was a place where you can rest, reload your batteries

“Comfortable apartment, helpful hosts, great location, excellent holiday.” A very well equipped apartment (and a brilliant shower) in a beautiful location. The welcome pack was a very nice touch as was the supply of pool towels. Karen and Nick, the hosts, were very helpful and informative, advising re places to visit, to park and to eat. Also, the dogs were very friendly and no problem. A car is definitely needed as the nearest shops are approx 4km away but there are plenty of lovely places to visit.

“An excellent base from which to explore this wonderful part of France.” This gite is so accommodating that I have now spent two separate holidays there in less than a year. Not only is the gite really well equipped including dishwasher and washing machine but the hosts are so welcoming too. Nothing is left to chance. The gite is close to a road, so no endless tracks to negotiate, and it is very centrally located for exploration of the Cathar country and the coast.. Very relaxing venue; a place where every effort has been made to ensure that you enjoy your stay.

“Excellent, great welcome, magical centre for exploration of the region with its inspiring history a” A very well appointed Gite with everything you would want on hand. As keen cooks the kitchen proved the wherewithall to produce the evening meals which capped off each day's enjoyable exploration of the Cathare Country. Within easy reach of the coast, about an hour away, the roads are littered with enough opportunities for the odd degustation or two with names of wines and liquors that bring to mind a 'Robert Guide' to the wines of France. For those more actively minded the mountainous terrain offers much scope for big, or little walks with incredibly rewarding views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The rivers provide great opportunty for canoing or rafting whilst the innumerable cliffs offer climbing of the highest standards. To cap it all you have Karen and Nick. plus the girls(!), providing a 'welcome back to the family' experience with lots of help and suggestions of how to get the best out of the area. They provide a the bedrock of an holiday experience you would want to repeat.

“What a relaxing and beautiful spot you feel on holiday the moment you arrive” The perfect spot to relax with enough amenties if you just want to chill and relax (swim in the pool) just stock up the fridge and larders - light the barbi and go for it. The drive through the mountains and the gorge is stunning - had a fantastic meal at a restuarant just the other side of the Gorge. Local Markets are good for shopping and "Da Vinci Code" fans will be in heaven. You have to visit Carcasoon (hope I spelt that right but I'm sure the owners will confirm if you ask) Also perfect to explore the area and only an hour away from the Sea - if you do decide to go to the sea get information about the duty free on the border - good bargins to be had!

“A fantastic place to stay with top class hospitality.” Myself and my husband stayed for nearly a week in Feuilles Vertes as we wanted a relaxing break with access to a private barbeque / pool etc. - we got everything we were hoping for by staying here. From the moment we arrived we were made feel at home due to the warm welcome from the owners and the little extras they provided e.g. delicious homemade bread (ready to tuck into on the first night), local jam, local maps, up to date info on local events etc. The place was spotless and very comfortable, the weather was great and the owners were very helpful giving us advice on local activities, markets, local food and drink, restaurants, walks - they even helped us with the language. During our visit, the Tour de France was passing through the village so the owners invited us to lunch in the local restaurant to soak up the atmosphere - it was fabulous. We stayed a few extra days in the end and were sorry to leave. We've since had a baby girl and would love to return again with her soon.

“Peaceful location with friendly owners - great location for exploring the area” Accomodation ample for a family of four including comfortable lounge and well-equipped kitchen with thoughtful welcome pack. Property was very clean and all furniture and equipment was virtually new. Sunbeds and towels provided for the lovely sun-trap outside the house. Small pool was always welcome and kept clean. Ability to use free-standing barbecue was also appreciated as was the use of the garden. Great views from the garden of the surrounding hills; short walk to a local restaurant which was very good value and served tasty regional food. Central location for exploring Cathar castles to the south, the mountainous area west of Quillan, and Carcassonne and surroundings to the north. Incredible range of different landscapes within a short drive.

“The most well equipped holiday home I have ever stayed in a beautiful part of France.” Myself my husband and 2 boys aged 5 and 7 had the most wonderful holiday at Feuilles Verte. The gite is extremely well eqipped and comfortable and having the owners on site means that you neve rhave any worries and everything is always clean and tidy. From cleaning out the lovely pool to changing light bulbs and booking restaurants, Karen and Nick are wonderful hosts but do not intrude on your holiday either. The boys loved the dogs too. It is a beautiful part of France too with fantastic beaches, caves, and amazing castles 1-2 hours by car. Response: We are very pleased that you all enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back in August.

“Wonderful hospitality, lovely location and therapy treatments too” We have stayed at Feuilles Vertes twice now. Karen and Nick are welcoming, kind and friendly hosts. The gite is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. There are lost of interesting places to visit in this Cathar region of France and we can highly recommend it.

We thoroughly enjoyed out stay and plan to return next year. To your future guests I'd thoroughly recommend visiting Carcassonne, along with Chateau Puilauren & Peyrepertuse - and water rafting was great fun too! Took over 500 photographs - wonderful area for landscapes, birds, butterflies and stars!
