About this villa rental

Enjoy total tranquillity in a beautiful country setting.
Located on a hill in a pretty small village, our holiday house boasts a breathtaking view of the surrounding vineyards and Mediterranean terrain. Enjoy the peace and quiet of an enchanting setting from the terrace of this rural gite, next to the heated infinity pool (May - October). Our holiday house is located at the foot of the Pyrenees, in Cathar country, in the rugged Corbières region; a region steeped in history, offering a varied landscape and a wealth of leisure activities. Several walking and cycling routes are accessible nearby, while canyoning can be enjoyed in the spectacular Gorges de Galamus. The coast is just an hour's drive away, and the many cultural highlights within easy reach include Quéribus and Peyrepertuse castles, Fontfroide Abbey, Cucugnan, Carcassonne and its fortified city, and the Catalan town of Perpignan.
Frequent flights to and from Carcassonne airport make planning your stay easy, whether you're looking to stay for a week or two or just a few days. Holiday house ’à l'aise’ features 4 bedrooms, 3 shower rooms, an open-plan kitchen and a living room offering a fabulous panoramic view over the valley.

The villa is extremely well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay with basic items provided to use and replace when finished which makes self catering so much easier. The owners have clearly gone to great lengths to make sure you have all the day to day equipment you need to make the stay enjoyable. Downstairs which is cooler are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and upstairs a double bedroom and bathroom plus a large open plan kitchen/diner/lounge with the balcony offering magnificent views across the valley into the sunset. The infinity pool is a delight and the split level terraces offer shade as required when hot. Dining on the terraces is fine. No complaints at all. The absolute key to this property is the location which offers total solitude, peace and tranquillity - at times just the soft chugging of a tractor miles across valley with a chorus of birdsong as backing. The views and the surrounding countryside are extremely special. The small pay off? - you have to drive 15 mins to the next village for bread (there is also a good delivery service) and 25 minutes to the nearest supermarket in Tuchan which offers most things but you are on holiday right? So it really is no hardship to take a small trip down through picturesque gorges alongside amazing scenery to stock up. It is a wonderous relaxing villa in a fantastic rural settling with everything you need to unwind. Just wonderful - thank you.

It was a fantastic holiday! The house is in a very quiet neighbourhood and offers fantastic views. The pool is very nice. The house is big enough for 2 families (3 bathrooms and 2 large fridges), very clean and well equipped (we didn't want for anything). Lynn and Tom are very friendly, we felt really welcome and we were provided with lots of useful tips and excursion destinations in advance. Thank you very much for everything and we would love to come back anytime!

What an absolutely lovely site! Peaceful and comfortable with a great view of the hills. Tom went out of his way to make us comfortable and went above and beyond what we expected on the day of our late arrival. would definitely aty here again!!

Great property with everything you could want for a break away from it all. Don’t underestimate how remote this place is, though. There’s nothing - shop, restaurant, etc (that we found, anyway) - within walking distance so a car is essential. The plus side of that, of course, is wonderful peace and quiet and beautiful scenery. Sitting on the balcony with a glass of something chilled, listening to the birds and looking out over the valley is very pleasant indeed. Garden area just needed a bit of tidying and the pool water level was low while we were there, but for us it wasn’t a problem and I’m sure Tom and Lynn (who were going there the week after we left) will have sorted all that out - they’re really great owners and communicated with us via WhatsApp while we were there. If you’re looking for a great place to get away from it all, book with confidence.
