About the home
Villa Frederic Chopin is a modern fully equipped 3 bedroom villa with private pool ideal for families. The villa is 5 years old, bright and airy with tiled floors for those hot summers. The property has just recently been redecorated and refurnished. It has a private walled large garden and the private pool area which is south facing has sunloungers and outside dining table and chairs which accommodates 8 people. There is also a Gazebo where you can take shelter from the hot sun.
It comprises of 2 double bedrooms, 1 double with bunk overhead bedroom, a double sofa bed and travel cot. It has a large bathroom with separate WC. It also has an outdoor solar shower. It is located in the picturesque village of Trebes on the Canal Du Midi with all amenities within walking distance yet less than a 10 min drive to the bustling city of Carcassonne.
If you want to experience some history a visit to the Medieval Castle "La Cite" is a must. La Cite is alive with tourists sampling local cuisine in numerous bars and restaurants or watching in amazement live jousting which is a must for both adults and children alike.
The Med is a 30 min drive away or if you wish to sample the beach without the drive then you can visit Carcassonne Plage at Lac de la Cavayere less than 10 min drive away. There is supervised swimming, paddle boats available for rent, picnic areas and a crazy golf course.
There is plenty to do during your stay and we suggest a drive through the tranquil French countryside with its many hamlets and chateaux/ vineyards to explore. A visit to the African Reserve in Sigean approx. 45 min drive is also worth a day trip. You can drive your car through the reserve where the animals roam freely . . . a great family daytrip.
