We enjoyed 2weeks of total relaxation

This place is perfect for someone, who likes places without other people around. Here you can find pure nature, privacy, remoteness and distance to the overaccelerated style of todays life. Nevertheless it is a good base to visit the kathar country with all it´s castles and other historic sites as well as to explore the black mountains and the Corbieres. For us it was always a good feeling to come back to this place after our excursions. The area around is perfect for cycling, too. The spot also is to recommend for families with children of every age. And it is worth to come back somewhen.

I want to thank Tim & Hilde for the most glorious holiday. The gite was lovely and very clean. It had tons of space (inside & out) for our family (we are a family of 5 with older children) & is set in the most beautiful surroundings. We loved our evening bbq’s, sitting at the back of the house for long dinners in the warm evenings. The kitchen was a lot bigger than the photos and loved our breakfasts as a family in there. The pool was also godsend for keeping us cool & the children entertained for hours. The house & area was so relaxing and comfortable we hardly ventured out. But we did manage to: Visit Carcassonne (medieval walled city) Go to the market at Revel (a fab large buzzy market on a Saturday) and then off to Lac Saint Ferreol after where there is a swimming area and the opportunity to hire canoes, paddle boards etc Hike the Bugarach mountain (a must! Thanks Tim & Hilde for this tip) Visit Rennes-le-Château (after the hike as it is in the same area – another must & interesting tip from Tim & Hilde) The house is also very close to the Canal du Midi & a day trip to the Med is possible (sadly we ran out time to actually do this …. an excuse to come back).  There are also 2 supermarkets close by and a great bakery in Saissac (cute village with gorgeous views). We would not hesitate to rebook. It was honestly the best & most relaxing holiday in many years. If you want to recharge, be in tranquillity and spend quality time with your family, this is the place. It feels so unspoilt and special. Thank you again Tim & Hilde.

Overall a nice stay, hosts are great. location is very remote and quiet. Please note that the villa is in the middle of the woods and you may be visited with small fury guests!!!! Pool is close to trees and its difficult to keep it clean all day, pool was cleaned very well every day but any breeze will give you a layer on the pool. Layout of the house was not the best for us but that's a personal taste thing. House could do with a visitor manual, with instructions for TV and washing machine, contact numbers that sort of thing, Its the first villa we have rented that didn't have that. We liked the fact that you are within 30 mins of lots of lovely places to see. A must if you are in the area is the Saturday market in Revel best we have ever been to.
