About this house rental
In the heart of CATHAR COUNTRY, a restored shepherd's house nestled in nature AVAILABLE WIFI: stays that will be remembered whatever the season! Also ideal for visiting the sites of the Cathar castles and the medieval city of Carcassonne, hiking, fishing ... and rest.
In an atmosphere where the logs crackle, a large fireplace allows, in winter, to organize large outbreaks of Christmas, New Years, Carnival or Easter holidays, in a setting that is both romantic and comfortable , and after returning, for example, from a visit to a Cathar castle or the City of Carcassonne, a long walk in the woods or the colorful Limoux Carnival.
From spring and until All Saints' Day, the beautiful exposure on the river is ideal for lunches outside followed by sunbathing, or naps in the shade according to the taste of each, and before going fishing in the stream.
The 'teens', for their part, will' enjoy 'sailing in kayaks on the sports site of Alet les Bains, 20 minutes' drive away, and in the evening going to the rock scene of the Carcassonne International Festival or on the Place de Limoux which brings together many young people from all countries.
The Gite, rehabilitated in the style of the past and comfortable, is organized on 2 levels connected by wooden staircase:
- the living room (with a convertible sofa and a dining table, and with a fireplace and a large mirror) is located on the ground floor, as is the kitchen ( a 2-burner hob, an oven, a microwave, a refrigerator, a dishwasher ...) and the bathroom (a claw foot tub, a large sink and toilet, as well only a towel dryer and a washing machine);
-the night part is organized on the 1st floor, with 2 separate spaces (see photos) by a whole series of old openwork beams, with on one side a double bed equipped with a box spring and a 140 mattress cm wide, and on the other 2 old iron beds 80 cm wide (sheets and towels are provided)
The house overlooks a clearing, without any opposite on one side as on the other, and is located 50 meters from a place in the shade by the river. It is made available to visitors a table and chairs for meals, deckchairs, a parasol and a charcoal barbecue.
This Gite is ideal for a family with 2 children, plus if necessary a teenager sleeping on the convertible sofa in the living room.
Many couples without children particularly appreciate its decor, its romanticism, and its location in the heart of a very peaceful countryside.
Groups of adults (3 or 4) also had excellent stays in the house.
This Gite will appeal to families who appreciate the charm, authenticity and comfort of old houses (see photos); it is not suitable for visitors who prefer "modern" houses or rehabilitations "which imitate the old".

6 / 10Average·Aug 2020
Nous avons passé deux semaines dans cette jolie maison simple et bohème, rénovée de façon astucieuse et authentique et avec beaucoup de goût (photos conformes). Le jardin a un côté sauvage charmant, on voit plein de papillons, d’oiseaux, de libellules, d’écureuils….Attention la maison n'est pas du tout isolée comme l'annonce le laisse entendre: elle est juste au-dessus d'une route (certes départementale mais relativement passante même en plein mois d’août) et le domaine familial est juste au-dessus avec d'autres locations (plus ou moins bruyantes selon les locataires). Certes il n’y a pas de vis-à-vis (en dehors de la route) mais malheureusement ce n'était pas aussi calme ni aussi isolé que nous espérions. Difficile de déconnecter totalement. Par ailleurs, attention il faut traverser la route pour accéder à la rivière (a priori un peu dangereux avec de jeunes enfants). Très bon accueil (avec de la blanquette) et bons conseils. Néanmoins nous avons eu l'impression que tout était un peu 'dernier moment': la connexion internet ne fonctionnait pas (comme dans le domaine), quelqu'un aurait pu s'en apercevoir avant les locations estivales (!……) alors que c’est marqué haut débit sur l’annonce et que le propriétaire nous avait assuré qu’il y avait internet, dont nous avons besoin, non pour regarder des vidéos, mais pour des raisons professionnelles….cela a compliqué aussi l’organisation de nos visites dans la région car on avait beaucoup de mal à capter avec le réseau téléphone… le four fait systématiquement sauter les plombs et donc inutilisable...l'accès à la rivière est agréable mais il n'a été aménagé que quelques jours après notre arrivée.. il n’y a pas de ventilateur en pleine canicule et dans une région très chaude donc nous avons eu des nuits difficiles (oui la pièce du bas reste fraiche mais la chambre en haut est sous les toits)….il y a des voilages transparents sur les fenêtres donc impossible de dormir sans lumière (des volets intérieurs pourraient résoudre le problème)…Tout cela révèle au mieux un manque d'anticipation, au pire une certaine négligence. Dommage. La maison a du charme, le domaine a une vraie histoire intéressante et la région est très belle mais cela ne suffit pas pour en faire une location agréable… Le prix en août ne nous a vraiment pas semblé justifié étant donné tous ces problèmes. Nous espérons que ce commentaire permettra moins de déconvenues aux prochains et plus de précisions en amont sur l'annonce.
