A Perfect Getaway

Doctor Vic Manchester, UK
Review Submitted: February 16, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
I spent a week at La Caunette at the end of June with 4 old friends from university and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect getaway.
The house is about 45 minutes drive from Carcasonne airport and situated on the edge of a quiet village. We were met by Debbie and Mark who were lovely and incredibly obliging considering we turned up 5 hours early and without warning!
The house itself was immaculately clean, comfortable and well-equipped with more than enough space for the 5 of us, but the real gem is the terrace and swimming pool at the end of the garden. We spent many hours here soaking up the sun with a glass of wine in hand, just admiring the beautiful views.
We ventured out most days and there's plenty to do in the surrounding area. The walled city of Carcasonne is very pretty and there are some nice walks and lots of shops if that's your thing. We spent one day on the beach which was less than an hours drive to the east. There are some fabulous local markets and plenty of wineries which offer free tastings and this was my favourite holiday activity!
We spent most evenings cooking up our day's purchases and watching the sun go down. We did eat out one night at one of the restaurants in the next village which was one of the best meals I've had in ages- the name escapes me but there's plenty of info at the house which will tell you.

I cannot recommend La Caunette highly enough and will be heading back this year, availability permitting!

Urlaub mit großen Abstrichen

Diju 66399 Mandelbachtal
Review Submitted: August 3, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Das o.g. Haus war für uns eine große Enttäuschung. Nach 15-stündiger Anreise stellte sich schnell heraus, dass die Bedingungen (Größe, Anzahl der Badezimmer, etc.) unter der wir das Domizil "La Caunette" gebucht und sehr teuer bezahlt hatten, nicht stimmtem. Das Verwalterehepaar vor Ort bestätigte uns, dass sich de Beschreibung bei fewo-direkt auf ein zweites Haus der selben Besitzerin bezog. Noch am Ankunftsabend stellten wir sehr verärgert die englische Besitzerin telefonisch zu Rede. Sie bedauerte nebenbei, dass hier wohl die Übersetzung tatsächlich nicht stimmte. Doch wir kontrollierten vor Ort, dass auch auf der englischen Seite die Beschreibung des Hauses ebenso schlechthin falsch war.
Das dritte Schlafzimmer, welches wir für eines unserer beiden Kinder vorgesehen hatten, war lediglich von außen zu erreichen. So konnten wir dieses nicht nutzen, da wir schlecht ein 5- oder 8-jähriges Mädchen völlig außerhalb des eigentlichen Hauses schlafen lassen konnten. Zudem stank dieser Raum bestialisch nach Moder und Feuchtigkeit.
So war auch die Küche eine große Enttäuschung. Etwa 5 verschiedene Möbel waren lieblos und sehr ungepflegt aneinandergestellt. Nicht mal ein Tisch fand einen Platz.
Überhaupt war die gesamte Wohnung sehr verwohnt und absolut unpersönlich und lieblos eingerichtet. Ein Sofa war unzumutbar, währen das andere zunächst einmal abgedeckt werden musste, damit man sich einigermaßen appetitlich setzten konnte. An der Wand des Wohnzimmers hingen ganze zwei Bilder, eines davon war zerissen, der Glasrahmen gesprungen.
Was den Urlaub wirklich rettete, war der herrliche Pool. Hier waren die Angaben der Vermieterin wahrheitsgetreu. Zur Zeit des Vetragsabschlusses forderten wir Bilder von Schlafzimmern, den 4 vermeindlichen Bädern und der Küche an. doch die Vermieterin standen angeblich keine Bilder zur Verfügung. Sie schickte uns lediglich viele Bilder des herrlichen Pools - heute wissen wir, dass dies nur Ablenkung vom schlechten Zustand des Hauses war! Die Angaben wurden von der Vermieterin mittlerweile geänder, wobei uns der Mittlmeerstil nicht ganz klar ist!! Unser Ärger basiert natürlich auf der Tatsache, dass mit Ankunft alle Kosten bereits bezahlt waren und dass wir uns hier für einen solch hohen Preis schlechthin betrogen fühlten!
Hiermit warnen wir alle Urlauber: Verlangt Bilder von für euch wichtigen Räumen! Sollte dies nicht möglich sein, solltet ihr hellhörig werden.
Wir haben dazugelernt!!
