Aymon Together with his wife, Anne Marie, was in constant contact with us at the start and throughout the whole process of arriving at the property, simply superior hosts. The attention to our comfort, our food details , Restaurant recommendations, sightseeing opportunities was truly outstanding. The connections that we had during our stay were so friendly and informative that it made it hard to leave. Our afternoons spent on the beautiful terrace overlooking rolling hills of sunflowers was sublime. The pool was the best we’ve ever swam in and was in a most Idyllic location and always beautifully clean. Merci beaucoup Aymon et Anne Marie

Perfektes Idyll

Das Ferienhaus ist wunderschön gelegen in einer parkähnlichen Landschaft - mit vielen alten Bäumen und Natur -, und die Aussicht ist wirklich beeindruckend. Toll ist zudem der sehr große Pool, und ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist, dass ich noch nie in einem so sauberen Ferienhaus gewohnt habe (und ich habe schon oft in Ferienhäusern übernachtet). Der Vermieter, der im nahegelegenen Schloss wohnt, ist bei Problemen jederzeit zur Stelle, ansonsten aber sehr diskret, sodass man in dem Ferienhaus (bzw. am Pool) ganz für sich ist. Die Gegend ist wenig touristisch, was ich ausgesprochen erfreulich finde. (Hier gibt es z. B. noch "echte" französische Märkte mit hervorragenden und günstigen Lebensmitteln kleiner Produzenten und ohne die Nippes- und Lavendelseifenstände, die man in Südfrankreich inzwischen so oft antrifft.) Nichtsdestoweniger gibt es diverse Ausflugsmöglichkeiten, falls man sich von dieser perfekten Idylle wegbewegen möchte. Der einzige negative Aspekt könnte für manche der Umstand sein, dass das Wlan relativ langsam ist, doch wer auf schnelles Internet keinen besonderen Wert legt, für den ist dieses Ferienhaus uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen.

Zéér rustig gelegen gîte met een geweldig uitzicht

We waren al verwittigd door de waarderingen van anderen en ze waren zeker niet overdreven. De eigenaars, een ouder Frans koppel, zijn supervriendelijke mensen die ons meteen van de nodige informatie voorzagen en verder zeer discreet zijn. De gîte is ongelooflijk mooi gelegen, het uitzicht is echt adembenemend en om weg te dromen. In de gîte vind u alles wat u nodig heeft, 2 slaapkamers, 2 douches, zelfs 3x airco en overal verwarming. Buiten wacht een groot zwembad, opnieuw in een mooi kader, dat helemaal privé is voor de gasten. De eigenaars gebruiken het ook maar nooit wanneer u er bent. Voor uitstappen is de gîte ideaal gelegen, ongeveer in het midden van de ruit : Carcassonne-Castres-Albi-Toulouse. Dus een echte aanrader en we gaan zeker nog eens langs bij Aymon en Anne-Marie wanneer we in de buurt zijn.

Superb get away in the south of France

This was our first time in the south of France and thoroughly enjoyed it with our two young boys. The house has exquisite views, is well appointed and a lovely, private pool with ping pong table too. I would recommend the lake/ reservoir at St Ferrieol near Revel for water sports and fun, Saturday market at Revel, Wednesday,s food market at Puy Lauren, a trip to/ through Le Sidobre and for a greater choice of food shopping the Casino supermarket in Revel. Intermarche at Puy Laurens is sufficient. Aymon the owner is very welcoming, discrete and happy to recommend days out etc. We had a great stay ! Tout bien....

Super mas, localisation et vues superbes !

Acceuil chaleureux par des propriétaires qui respectent au maximum le privé de leurs hôtes. Fleurs fraîches dans chaque chambre. Boissons au frigo et bouteille de vin. Domaine vert et fleuri grâce aux efforts d'arrosage du propriétaire. Piscine et terrasse 100% privée avec des endroits dans l'ombre. Maison très propre, confortable, et frais, même pas eu besoin de l'airco. Très pratique que tout le linge de maison est inclus. Le bois et son sentier sont inspirant pour les enfants.
