From the owner

L'Occitanie is situated in the delightful village of Malves-en-Minervois which is about fifteen minutes from the medieval city of Carcassone. The village is surrounded by vineyards with views of the Pyrenees to the West and the Montagne Noire to the East. The village has a chateau, bar, restaurant and a bustling village shop selling fresh bread and wonderful croissants.

The house is surrounded by a high hedge giving it seclusion and privacy, the swimming pool faces south and is surrounded by mature plants. It is an idyllic place for holiday, either lazing round the pool or being more venturous and visiting the many places which are all within an easy car ride.The house is comfortably furnished, all bedrooms have good quality beds and all the linen is provided for your comfort. The kitchen is well equipped with all mod-cons. . There is one en-suite bedroom, downstairs there is a family bathroom with separate toilet.The french windows in the kitchen open on to a terrace with table and chairs. The lounge is spacious with settees and chairs, there is tv satellite, cd, dvd bookcase full of books and boardgames. The garden room has a large dining room table with a door leading out to the back garden and table and chairs and bbq. You should nt need it in the summer months, but all rooms have a heater. Within fifteen minutes of the house you can be in the mountain range of the Mountagne Noir, The Chateau de Lastour which are the ruins of the four so-called Cathar Castles. Discover La Grotte de Limousis, take a stroll or perhaps hire a boat on the Canal du Midi. If you want the beach Lac de la Cavayere is nearby or take a trip to Narbonne plage which is just over the hour away on the mediterranean coast.

The history of Carcassonne is retold in the novel "Labyrinth" by Kate Moss the film was shown on Channel 4. Take time to visit the town of Carcassonne where there are three markets each week.

Thank you so much for your review after staying at our Villa. We are delighted that you and your family had a great time here and everything was satisfactory for you. Sorry about the TV reception, this is something that is out of our control, from what I gather due to the heat reception was poor for everyone. However, I must add that we do have french to and dvd's for our guests.
