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.
Rustig, mooi, gastvrij en echt een pico bello huisje en zwembad. Aan alles is gedacht om het je gemakkelijk te maken. Met mijn vrouw en 2 kleine kinderen genoten.
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.
Op een landgoed waar je de buren niet kan zien en waar je heerlijk je gang kan gaan. Letterlijk omdat je hier een heel eind naartoe zou moeten lopen. De eigenaren wonen er wel tegenaan, maar die zijn heel gastvrij en voelen goed aan wat er nodig is om een fijne vakantie te hebben.

We can highly recommend this experience at Marjolijn and Wim’s cottage—it gets top marks in every category.
We kunnen deze ervaring in het huisje bij Marjolijn en Wim iedereen aanbevelen met een topscore op alle vlak.
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!Ons verblijf in het natuurhuisje was kort gezegd een ‘droom’. Een idyllische en rustgevende omgeving, een uitgestrekt landgoed om te verkennen, te wandelen, de natuur in je op te nemen, na te denken, te herbronnen. Fantastisch! Het huisje zelf was ook tot in de puntjes verzorgd, over alle kleine en grote ‘details’ was duidelijk zeer goed nagedacht en er was werkelijk niets waarvan je zou kunnen zeggen dat het ietsje beter had gekund.
Ook de tips, adresjes en info over de streek, de uitstapjes, de marktjes, ... noem maar op, waren meticuleus opgelijst in een handige map en dragen er in grote mate toe bij dat het verblijf nog verrijkender kan gemaakt worden voor iedere gast en voor elk wat wils. Wim en Marjolijn -zeer warme sympathieke mensen trouwens- waren in de buurt indien we nog vragen hadden, verdere suggesties wilden die perfect aansloten op onze interesses, wandelingen wilden doen of het lokale ‘leven’ wilden leren kennen. Het was kortom een prachtvakantie! We komen zeker terug!This text is automatically translated. -

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!!!
Niets op aan te merken, alles klopt. Van goede bedden tot aan de gekoelde ruimtes. Prachtig zwembad, alle voorzieningen prima. Onze kinderen zijn van de leeftijd 15 en 16 jaar, ze hebben zich prima vermaakt. De gastheer en gastvrouw zijn erg vriendelijk en leggen graag uit wat er te doen is. We komen hier zeker terug!!
The location is very nice, lots of peace and yet relatively close to beautiful sights. Also from the house you can make beautiful walks.
De ligging is erg mooi, veel rust en toch relatief dichtbij prachtige bezienswaardigheden. Ook vanuit de woning kun je mooie wandelingen maken.
