Wonderful holiday
A beautiful setting in a lovely tastefully renovated property.We could truly relax and forget about the day to day problems of modern life. We loved the peace and quiet, the wildlife, church bells ringing in the distance. It was as we had stepped back in time to a quieter gentle time. At the same time all the comforts of modernity were also provided whilst not detracting from the overall character of the home. 10 out of 10. Thank you to Jean and his family for a memorable holiday.

Beautifully situated character filled property
The property far exceeded our expectations, the location was sublime, with an abundance of wildlife and trees of many different species surrounding the house. The house itself has been restored in a sensitive manner, having all the necessary comforts of modern living, whilst still retaining the feel of the origins of the property. You can easily imagine life long ago while staying here. Overall 10 out of 10

Glorious peaceful house with excellent facilities
We spent six weeks at L'Horte during May and June. It is set in the most beautiful countryside, away from any noise and in the middle of farmland.The house itself is extremely well equipped, we found we had everything we needed and were able to make ourselves at home. The pool was a perfect place to cool off and relax.There is so much wildlife - almost too much to mention from the birds and butterflies to hares and the geckos.Jean was an extremely helpful host, there to welcome us to the property and on hand with any queries. The bedrooms were very comfortable and outside spaces well equipped - the large canvas awning at the front of the house was most welcome. It is quiet and a most peaceful place, with easy access to Carcasonne and other local towns. A few hours to the coast or Spain. We would thoroughly recommend to couples, groups of friends and families.

Such a beautiful place
We knew very little about the area when we booked but were attracted by the unique character of the property and proximity to Toulouse airport for convenient flights. It was much better than anticipated.
The location is remote and yet not very far at all from the autoroute and all the services of Castelnaudary. Set in completely unspoilt countryside, the birdsong all around the property and the amazing range of wildlife - all kinds of butterflies and songbirds, falcons, hare, deer - was a real delight.
The property is very well maintained and yet has a great air of history about it with lots of lovely furniture and plentiful kitchen equipment to cater for even large family gatherings. It really has the feel of a much-loved family retreat. The pool has full sunshine all day long but is totally secluded. There are a number of wooden decking terraces so you can choose your location for eating out or relaxing in full sun or shade throughout the day. There are lovely views to the local hill-top village of Mireval-Lauragais and the surrounding hills with the sweet sound of the church bells marking the passing time.
The historic wonder of Carcassonne is less than an hour away and the cross-country route takes you through some beautiful countryside with bean fields, sunflowers and vineyards with wine tasing available. There is a lovely bakery/tea room at the next village of Fendeille.
Our host, Jean, was very helpful.

A great stay in a beautiful area
The house is absolutely charming!
Moreover it’s spacious and functional. We love the scenery, the amazing terrain. More than enough space to play football!
Kind welcome!
The bedrooms are ok. Only thing is that the beds in the kids room has very thin mattresses. For older kids, larger beds with thicker mattresses would be convenient.

A hidden gem!
Had a wonderful two weeks here - house is incredibly well equipped, you will want for nothing whilst staying here! Our daughter in particular loved the unexpectedly large selection of toys and books.
The house is actually more spacious than you would expect from the pictures and it has clearly been renovated fairly recently to a high standard.
We loved the decking outside the house which was great for eating al fresco or enjoying a glass of wine as the sun sets. The pool area is also excellent with plenty of chairs and even has a pingpong table. The grounds are so big you could probably hold a music festival in it! There was an unforeseen problem with the pool for a few days but this was fixed very promptly and professionally by the owner's father.

Goede verbinding naar bakker (Fendeille) en supermarkten (Castelnaudary).

Besonders beeindruckt hat uns das riesige Grundstück mit faszinierendem Baumbestand, das zu Entdeckungen einlädt.
Ob Ausflüge mit dem Fahrrad in die Umgebung oder Erkundung der vielen historischen Städte und Burgen, Abstecher in die Pyrenäen oder ans Meer, für all dies ist dieses Domizil ein hervorragender Ausgangspunkt.
