It is the new Provence, but without the crowds. And whilst you are here, why not take a relaxing drive into Spain, after all it is only a day trip away. Languedoc is the biggest wine region in the world with vineyards as far as the eye can see so spend some time sampling the local wines.

Reviews

We had a great stay at la maison. The house is nice, perfect for a small family for a week. Very handy to have a dishwasher and washing machine. The bedrooms in the house in particular are lovely. Unfortunately the weather we had wasn't great and by the time the sun came out late in the afternoon the courtyard was in the shade, later in the year it would be lovely to sit out there. The village has several bakeries for the morning croissants and a well stocked local shop. The local pizza shop was pretty handy too. The house is within easy reach of lots of lovely old villages, ruins etc which were nice to visit - and obviously carcassonne! Response: Thank you for taking the time to review our property. I am pleased your family had a lovely stay. Shame about the weather; this means you just have to come again, as it is glorious when the sun is out. All the best, Carina |

We found this gem last minute and it was just perfect; we loved the French village and the ease of access to vineyards, castles, beaches and mountains. The maison is just perfect; it is absolutely the best equipped property that I have been in and it is really beautiful. It was early Spring when we were here but I can imagine in summer it would be even more perfect to be able to sit in the courtyard one evening. Carina is an amazing hostess; attention to detail is impeccable; lots of great recommendations. We will definitely visit again. Response: Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are so pleased you had a lovely stay in our house and hope you have a chance to experience the area in summer time or early autumn. Many thanks, Carina |

Carina and James are excellent hosts, they provided lots of information about the house and the area and were extremely helpful. The house was great, ideal for couples or a family. The nearby restaurant was very good and in walking distance if you don't want to cook. The location was perfect, away from the city centre but close enough to beaches, mountain lakes and Carcassonne centre. A car is definitely required. |
