A Beautiful French Escape

We had a wonderful time at Tournesol, providing a complete recharge, which was helped along by the surrounding views, countryside, village and not to mention the local wine, village markets and many historical sites. The house was so inviting, with large rooms, modern-french decor and fantastic baths, together with a great outdoor eating and pool area - just wonderful on warm, star covered evenings. We look forward to returning one day!!

The perfect honeymoon venue

This is our second stay in this wonderful house . We loved it so much after our first stay that we choose to honeymoon here. The house itself is what dreams are made off - we choose the big bedroom with free standing bath to stay in and was idyllic. We stayed for a week and used the house as abase to easily travel to many of the nearby towns eg carcasonne , mirepoix, trebes , la lac etc : we also drove over to Barcelona for the day and visited Cadaques on the way back the following day - both amazing places and within easy distance. The property itself is very well equipped . The swimming pool is a must in the scorching heat and allowed for several lazy days sunbathing , eating and drinking in peaceful surroundings . The local boulongerie sells amazing products and Henris bar is a must visit. The welcome was fabulous and ambience amazing . A real experience of life in France . Numerous restaurants are within a short car drive and the food is exquisite - the seafood restaurant at the canal midi was fantastic as was the food at chateau de pennautier . Both highly recommended. We are planning our next visit and considering staying here as part of a ski holiday as Andorra is approx an hour away . Quite simply we love it and would highly recommend it .

A beautiful property. Ideal for a family (or two family) getaway

Had a great time here for two weeks. The accommodation is superb and the locals very friendly. An ideal spot to explore Carcassonne and the Languedoc.

A beautiful home in an idyllic setting

Having spent a week in this beautifuly restored 400 year old home I can highly recommend a stay here! The owners have done themselves proud with the standard of the home. All the mod cons and finished to a high standard (and I'm a builder!) but without loosing the classic French style. My partner was amazed at the roll top bath in one of the bedrooms, and the oak beams and star case look even better in the flesh. The local people are so welcoming and the 5 minute walk down the road to the bakery to buy fresh croissants was something to look for ward to each morning! The local bar (enri's) is classically French and filled with cameras! The prices are unbelievablly cheap too! I could go on but all in all one of the best holidays away we have had in along time! A must for anyone wanting to see the south of France as it should be seen!

About the host

Hosted by Alma Neeson

Family-owned by Mr and Mrs Neeson who reside in the UK. We purchased this run-down farmhouse in 2005 and lovingly restored it for 8 years to produce a luxury 5-star property that you will love

Why they chose this property

It was love at first sight. We spent 8 years renovating the property keeping the renovation sympathetic to its original look including the fabulous oak beams but renovated with high luxury in mind!

What makes this property unique

Outstandingly beautiful countryside in the middle of vineyards and sunflowers (thus the naming of the house as Tournesol). Fantastically peaceful and relaxing but only a short distance to major attractions such as the Canal de Midi and the UNESCO world heritage site of Carcassonne
