About the home
La Redorte Holiday apartment rental with walking, beach/lake nearby, swimming pool, sauna, rural retreat, TV, DVD
This beautiful apartment overlooks a stunning courtyard in a restored Batisse which was once the XVIII Century winery of the nearby Chateau. Complete with swimming pool and sauna, the 72m2 duplex apartment combines sumptuous white furnishings with glass, period furniture and original art work to create a luxurious and tranquil air.
The shared swimming pool, with sauna (open mid May – to mid October) is the centre of outdoor living in the summer months and is fully fenced for safety. Pool side furniture is provided for your use.
The luxury apartment sleeps 4 and is situated in the heart of the traditional bustling French village of La Redorte with its fine restaurant, boulangerie, supermarket, butcher, post office, tabac, hairdresser, petrol station and bank. There is even a small beauty salon should you need a massage after a hard day’s sunbathing!
This is the land of the Cathars, of vinyards soaked in the sun, the breath-taking medieval cite of Carcassonne and the beautiful Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage site which has featured in many of Rick Stein’s cookery programmes. Steeped in charm and history it weaves its way through La Redorte to reach the Mediterranean Sea. The scenic cycle path which runs along its banks leads to many lovely restaurants.
10 mins away is the beautiful lake at Jouarres, where you can have a quiet day sunbathing with supervised swimming or hire a kayak or pedalo. The fine beaches of the Mediterranean can be reached in 35 mins and there are golf facilities only 30 mins away.
The area is a wine lover’s dream, with free wine tasting in the surrounding vinyards. That, coupled with the rich culture, joie de vivre of the summer fetes held every week throughout August, cycling along the tree lined canal, extensive coastline and fine dining make this holiday ideal for couples, families and friends alike.
Large historic stone staircase entrance leads to first and second floor duplex apartment within a secure complex with off street parking and shared use of swimming pool and sauna.
Large rooms with tiled and wooden floors throughout and exposed beams.

Guestbook for Apartment Cabernet
"We had a great time, lovely weather and lots to see and do. Thank you very much for letting us stay in your apartment. We found it well equipped and very comfortable indeed." L Vernon
"Katie, it has been the most perfect escape in a most beautiful part of France. From the moment we walked into the luxury and comfort of your apartment it was as if we were home away from home. Our five year old son still describes it as 'his French house' and we can only smile and wish! We cannot recommend it highly enough. Thanks for a fantastic stay - we want to live here!" Andy Bowman, Cambridge
"We had a wonderful time when we stayed in your apartment in la Redorte. We enjoyed ourselves so much and found it so relaxing we are already talking about when we can arrange to go back! In the meantime, we have to console ourselves with buying a Bob Marley CD (as in your collection) to remind us of our time in France. We got immense pleasure running along the canal and visiting all the surrounding villages and towns. "
Sonja & Chris Beatty, Llantuit
