We had a more than lovely stay. We enjoyed the pool and the garden every day. The appartement is very complete and comfortable. Perfect place to discover the Pyrenees. Unfortunately we couldnât stay longer, we still had more to discover. Good reason to come back!
Charming, comfortable and convenient. The perfect base for our Pyreneean adventure.
Stepping into this charming apartment, we knew we had our own sanctuary, with its vaulted ceilings, spiral staircase and beautiful view of the gardens and swimming pool. Despite the 39° heat, it was cool indoors, we could relax straightaway.
We enjoyed gentle walks around the nearby picturesque villages, and planned our short drives to Ax Les Thermes and Tarascon for the Tour de France. We saw the stunning mountaintop views in Ax Trois Domain and above the apartment at Plateau de Beille and went further afield to Foix, Andorra and Spain.
A three-minute-walk down to the centre of Les Cabannes took us to the tourist office where very friendly staff recommended trips and places to eat. We ate very well at the two restaurants in the town square and at the cafe in the delightful boulangerie patisserie next to the post office.
The walk to the pool, down the steps and through the trees, had the Chateau de Gaudanes as a marvellous backdrop, The swimming pool saved us from the intense heat, which topped 40° when we visited.
The kitchen had everything to hand which made meal prep very easy and dining outside on the patio made for special family time. The welcome pack was very thoughtful and there were plenty of games, books and DVDs.
The apartment was very comfortable; the beds in particular, we all slept very well and there was constant hot water for baths and showers.
We will definitely book this apartment next summer and really hope it will be available when we know our dates. We can't wait to go back - it made our holiday.
Thank you, Colin, for letting us stay in your beautiful appartment. We enjoyed the pool everyday and every evening we watched a movie from your DVD collection. Hoping to come back sometime...
Tres bon emplacement
Parfait avec des enfants grace au parc a cote du chateau, sauf escalier en colimaçon et chambres en mezzanine
On sâest desuite senti comme a la maison, tres agreable
We are teachers with three children who spend as many holidays as possible exploring this beautiful mountainous region. We love our mountain activities just as much as love our reading days sitting on the patio. We have been coming here for over 20 years, and we have come to love this magical Cathar retreat.
This is a very special place for family outdoor holidays, or just for getting away from it all. We've gone to an effort to make the apartment comfortable and well equipped for a relaxing visit.
Caves, Cathar castles, the train to Toulouse or Spain, good local ski resorts, proximity to Andorre and Spain, good access to a number of airports, great mountain huts for food and accommodation when hiking, GR10 is close by. Our new 12m pool, with amazing views was commissioned in July 2019. The 16 appartments are situation in the outbuildings of Chateau de Gudannes.
