10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2022
My partner and I really enjoyed our stay in Thézan. The apartment was as described, clean, and ideal for our two week stay. Everything is small, but perfectly functional – it's possible to cook a full meal in the kitchen, and the house keeps relatively cool in the unbelievable heat because of how thick and solid the structure is (the beauty in staying in an old building!). Diane and Peter provided a binder of all the information about the area you could possibly need, which we referenced almost daily. Richard, the property manager, was also incredibly kind.
The location was perfect for us for exploring all the region, and neighboring regions, have to offer -- the Mediterranean, all the way down to the Spanish border, Narbonne, Carcassonne, and all of the smaller cities and towns in between, and then south towards the Pyrenees and you're in the forest and mountains! So many beautiful swimming holes, and delicious food. Everyone that we met in Thézan was also extremely friendly. Overall, what more could you ask for?

Great!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2019
The house has been lovingly restored to a beautiful little cottage filled with interesting objects picked up from the local markets. It is very comfortable and situated in a good area for touring round this part of France. The host, Diane was more than accommodating making sure we had adequate supplies for our first day and providing great advice on the local area and this part of France. I would have no hesitation in recommending a stay here, to enjoy the area, and the hospitality of the host

Diane was more than welcoming, even stocking the house with food and wine for our first night. The house is charmingly furnished and well-equipped. This is not a good choice for someone with mobility issues, as the stairs are steep and the toilet is on the first floor and bedrooms on the third, but was OK for us. Our neighbors were welcoming, but the town is very small, with few amenities.
