4.9/5

On a private property of 12 acres, about 200 meters from the main road, you will be the only guests in this 4-star rated nature house. The grounds are protected nature reserve. The driveway is closed with an electrically operated gate. One half of the house is rented out, in the other half live Marjolein and Wim, the Dutch owners. Because of the construction of the house, the two parts are completely separated. The gite has its own entrance and terraces. The pool is heated in the early and late season. All rooms have air conditioning. The house has high-speed fiber optic internet.

Nature and surroundings

The nature house is located outside the village, in the Corbieres, 20 minutes from Carcassonne, 45 minutes from the Mediterranean Sea and 1.5 hours from Spain. Our nature house is in the middle of nature. The air there is pure: for miles around there is nothing that causes even the slightest air pollution. The property is 12 acres, but even around it there are hardly any buildings. The only neighbors live about 500 meters away; there is no further habitation until the village of Montlaur, three kilometers away. In Montlaur (600 inhabitants) you will find a café/restaurant with a cozy terrace, post office, a small well-stocked supermarket and several wine estates that produce fine wines. For large supermarkets and other stores, Trebes (15 minutes) and Carcassonne (20 minutes) are the nearest . The landscape on and around the property is dominated by garrigue, forests, olive trees, fields and vineyards. You can walk endlessly without meeting anyone.

    Quiet, beautiful, welcoming, and a truly immaculate cottage and pool. They’ve thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. My wife, my two young children, and I really enjoyed it.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    On an estate where you can’t see the neighbors and where you can do whatever you please. Literally, because you’d have to walk quite a distance to get there. The owners do live right next door, but they’re very hospitable and have a good sense of what it takes to make for a wonderful vacation.

    We can highly recommend this experience at Marjolijn and Wim’s cottage—it gets top marks in every category.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    To put it simply, our stay at the nature house was a “dream.” An idyllic and peaceful setting, a sprawling estate to explore, go for walks, take in nature, reflect, and recharge. Fantastic! The cottage itself was also meticulously maintained; every “detail,” big and small, had clearly been thought through very carefully, and there was truly nothing you could point to that could have been done even a little better.
    The tips, recommendations, and information about the region—the day trips, the markets, and so on—were meticulously listed in a handy folder and go a long way toward making the stay even more enriching for every guest, with something to suit everyone’s tastes. Wim and Marjolijn—very warm and friendly people, by the way—were always nearby if we had any questions, wanted further suggestions that perfectly matched our interests, wanted to go for walks, or wanted to get to know the local “life.” In short, it was a wonderful vacation! We’ll definitely be back!

    Nothing to complain about, everything is right. From good beds to the refrigerated rooms. Beautiful pool, all amenities fine. Our children are of age 15 and 16, they had a great time. The hosts are very friendly and happy to explain what to do. We will definitely come back here!!!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The location is very nice, lots of peace and yet relatively close to beautiful sights. Also from the house you can make beautiful walks.

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
