Gorgeous place set in the most peaceful surroundings
I want to thank Tim & Hilde for the most glorious holiday.
The gite was lovely and very clean. It had tons of space (inside & out) for our family (we are a family of 5 with older children) & is set in the most beautiful surroundings. We loved our evening bbq’s, sitting at the back of the house for long dinners in the warm evenings.
The kitchen was a lot bigger than the photos and loved our breakfasts as a family in there.
The pool was also godsend for keeping us cool & the children entertained for hours.
The house & area was so relaxing and comfortable we hardly ventured out.
But we did manage to:
Visit Carcassonne (medieval walled city)
Go to the market at Revel (a fab large buzzy market on a Saturday) and then off to Lac Saint Ferreol after where there is a swimming area and the opportunity to hire canoes, paddle boards etc
Hike the Bugarach mountain (a must! Thanks Tim & Hilde for this tip)
Visit Rennes-le-Château (after the hike as it is in the same area – another must & interesting tip from Tim & Hilde)
The house is also very close to the Canal du Midi & a day trip to the Med is possible (sadly we ran out time to actually do this …. an excuse to come back).
There are also 2 supermarkets close by and a great bakery in Saissac (cute village with gorgeous views).
We would not hesitate to rebook.
It was honestly the best & most relaxing holiday in many years. If you want to recharge, be in tranquillity and spend quality time with your family, this is the place.
It feels so unspoilt and special.
Thank you again Tim & Hilde.
