Review Submitted: September 2, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
The gite absolutely lived up to its description on the website. It wasa great base for touring all around the region and wonderful to come back for a swim and laze by the pool. Jean Noel and Agathe were fantastic hosts and as for the wine tasting.......The DVDs for the children was also a stroke of genius....Highly recommended

La Source Summer 2009

Ollie_J London
Review Submitted: August 27, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
This is a lovely home to stay in. The cottages are designed to an extremely high standard, and are kept immaculate. The owners go out of their way to ensure the place is as perfect as possible for your arrivals. The cottage is set exactly as stated, buried in a vineyard in a sleepy village just outside Carcassonne - blissful and quiet, yet near enough to lots of happening things if required.

Throughout the stay, the owners are always around to ensure your stay is as comfortable and happy as possible, and go the extra mile to ensure you have everything you need for the stay. I would recommend this to any one thinking about staying in the area - which holds itself up as a fantastic area to visit.

Our stay with Jean-Noel and Agathe exceeded our expectations. The gite was stunning! Our accommodations were beautiful and very clean. The decor is exactly what we were looking for in a vacation rental. The location was excellent and allowed us to take advantage of numerous sites in the area. We also enjoyed the company of our hosts and the peaceful time spend around the pool. We truly made friends for life! We hope to return in the very near future!

As Close to Perfect As You Will Find

Andy & Kirsten Hampton Wick, nr London, UK
Review Submitted: September 6, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
It's been a month now since we returned to London from Domaine de Cure and every time I think about it I yearn to go back. Fantastically located in peaceful countryside among the vineyards just outside the quaint village of Conques-sur-Orbiel (2 boulangeries and everybody says 'Bonjour') and just a few kilometres from beautiful Carcassonne, this was our base for an idyllic 2-week family holiday from which we explored this wonderful part of France. The accommodation is spacious, tasteful, comfortable and immaculately presented and the welcome is a very warm one. So much to see and do in the Aude (beautiful scenery on La Montagne Noire, history at Cathar castles and charming towns such as Foix and Mirepoix within easy reach) and yet it was great just staying at the Domaine enjoying the peace, pool and the lovely surroundings. The kids loved it too. Excellent value and highly recommended. Tip: huge supermarket 20 mins drive away but don't buy wine there as the owner can supply genuinely high quality local wines at reasonable prices. Best restaurant: Chateau de Cavanac on the other side of Carcassonne, helpfully recommended to us (and booked for us!) by the owners. Much less keen on La Divine Comedie in the Ville Basse. Best kids things to do (apart from the pool): caves at Grotte de Limousin nearby, highly entertaining jousting re-enactments at La Cite in Carcassonne (in summer) and fantastic African Animal Reserve at Sigean, just over an hour away. Pleasant beach at St Cyprien Plage, past Perpignan, but as this was over 90 mins we went only once. Ryanair flies to Carcassonne from Stansted, but we flew from Gatwick to Toulouse, about an hour's drive away. Toulouse is great for a cosmopolitan day's shopping (Gallerie Lafayette, etc) by train from Carcassonne. Just one suggestion to owner: provide a rickety French bike to ride to the boulangerie. I walked it one morning - it was lovely, but it did take me 50 mins there and back. Treasured memories.

ein toller urlaub

silkis Weinheim, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland
Review Submitted: October 16, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
wir verbrachten unseren familienurlaub an pfingsten 2009 bei jean-noel und agathe. wir fanden eine tolle ferienwohnung vor, die absolut den hier angegebenen bildern entspricht. liebevoll eingerichtet und bestens ausgestattet. la Source bietet genug platz für eine familie mit drei kindern, sogar bei schlechtem wetter. trotz der vielen sehenwürdigkeiten im umland wollten unsere mädels gerne zu hause bleiben und im pool plantschen. Das baguette holte mein mann morgens zu fuß beim bäcker (ich wäre mit dem auto gefahren...). die abende verbrachten wir auf der terrasse, oftmals auch grillend mit einem glas rotwein. irritierend war es zunächst, dass wir uns primär auf englisch mit jean-noel und agathe unterhielten -und das im frankreichurlaub-. beide verweilten gerne zum gespräch, registrierten aber auch sensibel den wunsch nach ruhe.
alles in allem ein gelungener urlaub. es gab so viel zu sehen, dass wir wiederkommen werden.
