Charming and well equipped property ideally situated close to Carcassonne and the Languedoc area..

Wonderful property with all that you would wish to have during a holiday. The owner Claudia was exceptionally friendly and made us feel right at home, even making sure that a bottle of Blanquette de Limoux was chilled and waiting for us to arrive. Claudia phoned to make sure we were happy with our choice of accommodation and knew how to locate the house. She ensured that our accommodation suited my group of friends. We asked specifically for certain items to be available and all were. Local supermarkets were just a few minutes drive away. The gîte was ideally situated for touring the local area and there was plenty of information and brochures for activities and visits in the area available to read and help plan our days out. Blessed by good weather, even in October, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the area. The swimming pool and other amenities were very well presented and we enjoyed meeting the other families and the extremely helpful staff and yes, we were able to swim in October! An ideal place to stay and I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

Relaxing family holiday

We stayed in La Palmier which was located at one end of the property which made it feel very private whilst still enjoying the enourmous garden and surrounding grounds. Fabulous accommodation, fully equipped for self catering with lots of 'extras' e.g., bikes, drinks in a fridge by the pool, table tennis table & boules games. There were sun loungers & a table and chairs on our terrace and lots of other seating areas around the grounds. The pool was lovely - large and very well maintained with a child proof gate for safety. The nearest supermarket, patisserie and butchers was a short 5 min drive or 15 min bike ride away. Carcassonne and Lac de la Cavayere both worth a visit within a 30 mins drive. We would definitely reccommend.

Outstanding property in every respect.

Beautiful property surrounded by sunflowers, a very relaxing place to stay. We stayed in La Palmier - full of character and charm and well equipped - a truly stunning gite. The grounds are gorgeous and immaculate with an excellent swimming pool to relax in. Owners and guardians charming, helpful and informative. Lots of beautiful towns to visit including Carcasonne and a boat trip along the Canal du Midi is fascinating and relaxing. An excellent place to go on holiday we would love to return to Le Trabet.

Absolutely wonderful property, beautiful outdoor spaces, so wonderfully French in feel

I felt like I was living in a French movie for the week. Magnificent French manor with the most beautiful main bedroom and lounge room. We sat outside on a wonderful garden terrace all week for all meals,We also enjoyed walking through the surrounding farmland and vineyards as well as riding to the canal de midi. Claudia is very welcoming and generous with lots of small touches that made us feel so at home - we will be back as it was the most perfect relaxing holiday we have had in years

A wonderful place to stay.

This is a lovely property, it has been charmingly renovated, and the grounds are beautiful and peaceful. Claudia has thought of everything, so our stay was very comfortable. We definitely hope to return! There is much to see and do in the area, but relaxing by the pool is also a strong draw.

Notre séjour était très agréable, les pièces sont très spacieuses et très bien décorées et équipées. Le jardin est très grand, avec une magnifique piscine à débordement. Il y a de nombreux équipements mis à disposition pour les enfants, vélo, cabane, échelles, bouées... la propriétaire est très accueillante, à la fois discrète et disponible. Le coin est magnifique au milieu des vignes avec des parcours vtt et de très beaux villages à visiter aux alentours : Montolieu, Saissac... merci encore pour ce séjour !

Gite tout confort ,accueil agréable , petit déjeuner dans le jardin avec une vue apaisante

Nous avons pu profiter du calme de la campagne sur un terrain fleuri et agrémété de vieux oliviers de palmiers ... Calme et reposant sans être loin de la grande ville!
