About this property

OVERLOOKING A RIVER, SHEPHERD'S HUT, AUTHENTIC AND FAMILY-FRIENDLY, WIFI

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".

Idéal pour découvrir la région Limouxine
Nous avons séjourné près d'une semaine dans cette petite maison de berger restaurée avec goût à proximité de l'Aude. L'accueil était parfait (merci à Robert pour ses attentions), le cadre idyllique. Plaisirs simples mais tellement essentiels : baignades dans l'Aude, canoë, de bonnes tables à Limoux, des domaines viticoles à perte de vue, des paysages variés, du calme, etc... Quelques jours qui permettent de se reposer et de se faire du bien. Très belle découverte.

Parenthèse nature
Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine dans le gîte de Robert et Deborah avec nos deux garçons. L'accueil par Claudine a été très sympathique, et la maison nous a charmés par son authenticité. Les couchages sont confortables et malgré les températures élevées dehors la maison reste tempérée. Les photos sont tout-à-fait conformes à la réalité et le jardin est même plus grand que ce qu'on avait imaginé, complètement protégé des regards. Il faut effectivement traverser la petite route en bas de la maison pour accéder à la rivière mais ça n'a pas dérangé nos ados qui ont adoré y pêcher et y plonger (il y a une anse un peu plus loin avec plus de profondeur). Robert est venu nous saluer avec un beau panier de légumes (merci, ainsi que pour la bouteille de crémant à l'arrivée!) et nous a fait visiter son domaine. Les services sont proches (Limoux est à quelques kilomètres) et Carcassonne très facile d'accès. En ce qui nous concerne, ce fut une semaine dans un petit coin de paradis !

Alleinlage
Wir hatten als Familie (2Erwachsene, 2Kinder 14+11) 12 wundervolle Tage in dem Häuschen. Die Alleinlage ist himmlisch, wir haben viel unterommen in der Gegend, am Fluß und sind aber auch mehrmals am Meer gewesen. Empfangen wurden wir von Claudine mit einer Flasche Crémant. Tolle Gastgeber, Robert kam am nächsten Morgen vorbei und hat ein Körbchen mit frischem Obst, Gemüse und Kräutern gebracht. Vielen Dank an Robert und Deborah, dass wir unseren Hund mitbringen durften , obwohl er riesig ist (irischer Wolfshund) und eigentlich nur kleine Hunde erlaubt sind. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Lg Beate, Helge, Henri & Greta mit Chap

Romantisch, gemütlich
Etwas ganz besonderes, tolle Lage, einfach und fast schon abenteuerlich. Nicht zu empfehlen für Familien mit kleinen Kindern, aber für große (über 8) ganz sicher ein Vergnügen!
