Lovely accommodation in a great setting!

We stayed in L’Olivier with our two boys aged 4 and 6 years. It was clean, very spacious and well equipped. Claudia met us on arrival, and was very welcoming without being intrusive. They had a fantastic pool and the grounds were extensive. There was plenty there to keep the boys entertained, and our eldest son even got to have a ride on the tractor with Claudia’s husband! It’s conveniently located for Carcassonne airport and its historic city. There’s a couple of patisseries and a local supermarket a few minutes drive away. All in all, a lovely gite in a very scenic setting. We hope to return next summer!

Amazing property in a beautiful location

It’s a wonderful house with all the things you might need for a perfect vacation and even more, amazing location in between vineyards that provide with the peace and quiet of the country side but also perfectly connected to any needs of supply or amenities, Frank was very charming and helpful with everything we needed, and did made us have a great family vacation!

Excellent, as advertised and more, very welcoming and relaxing, well done Claudia, thank you

Our stay in Le Palmier was a delight. The quiet and relaxing surroundings were perfect for us and our 2 border collie dogs (who settled very quickly and were made welcome). The garden was safe & secure, we had 2 outside eating areas to choose from and there was acres of walking around the growing vines. The inside facilities were excellent, all working to a high standard, and the spacious surroundings were very comfortable. Claudia's welcome and excellent orientation was just right. As for location, the spot is well located to explore the Aude region, Carcassonne and the mountains to the north and south. As for the pool, divine; sadly we only stayed the week!

Fabulous holiday!

What a great place to stay with friends! We've just had a wonderful week staying in L'Olivier - plenty of space for us to have a room each, fantastic grounds, fabulous pool, and scorchio to boot. Claudia and Rainaldt were great hosts: welcoming and helpful but not intrusive. They created a relaxed, hospitable altmosphere in their charming home. One of the best gites I have stayed at: really well equipped and large spacious rooms. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding countryside spectavular Carassonne but also Narbonne and the coast and the wonderful nearby Montolieu: town of second hand/antique bookshops. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Détente en pays Cathare

Claudia et Rainald sont des hôtes formidables qui font tout leur possible pour que le séjour se passe merveilleusement bien et sont très attentionnés et très amicaux. La maison est parfaitement équipée, avec des matériaux de qualité et très propre. La piscine est un vrai bonheur tout comme les immenses extérieurs. Les activités culturelles et sportives dans la région ne manquent pas pour découvrir un superbe coin de France. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.

Convivialité

Douceur, convivialité autour du feu ! Accueil charmant ! Disponibilité ! Literie parfaite et éléments d’équipements disponibles et fonctionnels. Bémol, problème avec cheminée principale, quelques ampoules grillées et disjonctions. Ensemble néanmoins très bien, à recommander !
