About this house rental
La Maison de Prunelle is the former grocery store of the seventeenth century village located at the foot of the Cathar castles. It is perfectly located to give you the opportunity to explore all the treasures of the Aude department and spend a relaxing holiday in a very small village in the south of France. You will find calm and authenticity. The cottage lends itself perfectly to romantic weekends with Jacuzzi, family holidays with enclosed garden, hiking and Cathar castles, quiet teleworking with wi-fi. Located at the foot of the Cathar Castles, 12 minutes from Mirepoix or Chalabre, 35 minutes from the City of Carcassonne but also 15 minutes from the lakes of Montbel or Puivert for swimming and water activities.
Because holidays are for the whole family so the rental includes, the cleaning of the house on your departure, the supply of sheets, towels, household linen but also the beds made on arrival.
The Maison de Prunelle is the former grocery store of the village of the seventeenth century completely restored while combining the charm of the old and the modern. We wanted to preserve the charm of the old by keeping the bread oven, the wine vats, the stone walls, the stone sink, the tiles of yesteryear etc.... . On the modern side, the kitchen benefits from all the comforts (induction hob, hood, oven, etc...) and accessories.
The cottage includes a covered terrace of 40m2 with a barbecue, a plancha, a Jacuzzi and a fenced garden of 200m2 so that children can play in peace.

Marc en zijn vader hebben dit karaktervolle huis in een eeuwenoud dorp aan de voet van de Pyreneeën van de ondergang gered. Met veel liefde en met een verbazingwekkend oog voor detail hebben ze het omgetoverd tot een sfeervolle woning, waar het leven van vroeger doorheen schemert maar waar alles gericht is op gezelligheid en sfeer. Er is geen hoekje of er werd over nagedacht bij het restaureren. Overal vind je gezellig plaatsjes met authentieke voorwerpen. Het is gewoonweg wonderbaarlijk hoe dit huis weer tot leven is gekomen. We hebben ons vaak de bedenking gemaakt dat dit een werk van pure liefde is. We hebben dan ook enkele heerlijke weken doorgebracht in dit huis vol verhalen, meer nog, we hebben ons verblijf zelfs verlengd! In het dorp wonen er vriendelijke mensen, die spontaan een praatje beginnen. Het zijn veelal oudere mensen, en het is niet altijd makkelijk om hen te verstaan. Maar dat draagt bij aan de sfeer, en vriendelijkheid kent geen taal. Kortom: Courtauly en dit huis staan voor eeuwig in ons hart gegrift.

5 jours passés trop vite. L’accueil d’Alain parfait... décontracté, il vous met à l’aise d’emblée et vous fait découvrir cette vielle bâtisse pleine de charme.
L’endroit se veut rustique au bon sens du terme mais il ne manque absolument rien.
Petits déjeuners et dîners pris tous les soirs sous l’auvent de la cour intérieure; il y fait bon et on y prolonge la soirée avec un verre de vin blanc bien frais jusqu’à ce que les heures de randonnées de la journée vous rappellent qu’il est temps d’aller dormir. La grande chambre est très agréable, la literie est bonne.
La salle de douche attenante est également bien agréable .
Les villes alentour méritent une visite: Mirepoix et son marché du lundi à ne pas manquer, Limoux, Fonjeaux....
Bref séjour 5 étoiles!!!!

Bien placé pour visiter la région, la maison a le charme d’une maison d’époque, mais avec le confort nécessaire. La mezzanine est un peu trop basse pour des adultes, mais correspond parfaitement pour des enfants entre 5 et 10-11 ans.
Bien plus agréable qu’une chambre d’hôtel dans le contexte du couvre-feu.
Merci à Marc et à Alain pour leur accueil
