Extraordinary chateau

Authentically shabby chic chateau, an experience you will never forget. Excellent place for a large group (we were 12 most of the fortnight) and perfect for eating drinking and talking late into the night. The pool is good and needed in the summer (38 degrees while we were there). Despite the large indoor space it was the outdoor living that we particularly enjoyed. Not a place for people who want modern conveniences, but if you want authentic old french this is perfect.

Très beau séjour à Saint André, une vrai vie de château entre déjeuners autour de la grande table ombragée et rafraîchissement dans la piscine. Une semaine entre amis avec des ados grandement apprécié. Nous avons aimé la fraîcheur de la maison en cette semaine caniculaire, l’équipement de la cuisine adapté à de grandes tablées, l’espace que chacun avait pour les temps calme et l’accueil chaleureux de Robert et Déborah. On séjourne ici quand on aime les veilles pierres, la déco qui traverse les siècles et les continents.

Agreable sejour entre amis

Très bon séjour dans une maison spacieuse, agréable et au calme Très bon contact avec les hôtes, qui ont su nous donner tous les renseignements sur la maison, les environs. Il y a une piscine et la rivière est un vrai plus! Attention toutefois aux lits 1 place qui ne conviennent pas tous à des adultes

Un séjour hors du temps

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable dans ce château au charme désuet. Maniaques du confort matériel et du luxe, s'abstenir, amoureux des veilles pierres et d'un cadre authentique, n'hésitez pas. Deborah et Robert font tout pour vous rendre le séjour dès plus agréables et vous feront partager leur passion pour ce domaine familial. La région offre de multiples possibilités, tant pour les activités culturelles que pour les randonnées et autres escapades.

Belle maison mais manque de confort

Nous avons apprécié le style de la maison et son côté figée dans le temps , ses beaux espaces mais côté détente et confort ça laissé à desirer: 7 chambres mais couchages vétustes, pas de salon ou pièce de vie avec canapé confortable, seulement 4 transats abîmés pour 6 adultes et 3 enfants... C'est rustique !

Authentic !

What a happy time we had at your beautiful house! There were 14 staying at one stage over the fortnight we were there and the house accommodated us easily! I still dream of the lofty ceilings, the sun peeping through our shutters in the morning, the cicadas droning through the drowsy afternoons, the birdcalls and murmur of voices as we prepared our meals together in the sunlit evenings....what an unforgettable holiday. Thank you Robert and Deborah, we will always appreciate your wonderful hospitality.

Amazing chateau near Carcassonne

Amazing chateau near Carcassonne. We heard how the house dates from the 11th century, and it really does have so much character. Every room has high ceilings, huge windows and lots of light. The 3 or 4 different living rooms and 7 or 8 bedrooms are filled with beautiful vintage furniture which gives the place a real romantic and French feel. There were 12 of us staying here. The chateau is so big that there was more than enough space for everybody to do their own thing either in the house or outside. The grounds are fantastic and catch the sun all day. Although the pool was cold in September, it would be really refreshing on a hot day. We made ample use of the BBQ, sitting outside for dinner every evening on long wooden tables lit up by outside lighting. The Ping pong table was also popular, playing and drinking local wines long into the night. The house feels remote and private yet only 20 minutes to Carcassonne and only 5 to Limoux, where we sourced all our supplies for the week. Robert and Deborah were so helpful and friendly - proudly telling us all about the Chateau's history and urging us to make the most of our stay. We certainly won't hesitate to stay here again!

Merveilleuse

Wir, drei Familien aus der Schweiz, verbrachten eine Woche auf diesem schönen Landsitz in Puisse. Das Haus ist stilvoll eingerichtet und strahlt eine gute Stimmung aus. Die Bäume im Garten spendeten uns kühlen Schatten. Wir hatten 35 Grad warm. Am Mittag konnten wir uns in den kühleren Salon zurückziehen. Vom Garten aus sieht man zum Swimmingpool. Das Gute ist wiederum, dass der etwas abgesetzt ist - einfach in der grünen Wiese mit leichtem Salzwasser. Traumhauft. Auch der Pingpong Tisch wurde viel benutzt. 10 Minuten Autofahrt zum Bäcker und man hat frisches Baguette auf dem Frühstückstisch. Man kann viele Ausflüge machen (Burg in Carcassonne, Apéro auf dem Hauptplatz in Limoux, Alet les bain, Kloster St. Hilaire)- aber am schönsten und stimmungsvollsten ist es im und rund ums Haus. Hier konnten wir uns richtig gut entspannen. Deborath und Robert sind sehr angenehme und freundliche Vermieter- es hat alles reibungslos geklappt. Wir können das Haus wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

SEJOUR TRES AGREABLE

Séjour très agréable, maison encore mieux que sur les photos ,style d’autrefois très joli, confortable dans l’ensemble même si un lit avec montants en bois était un peu court pour un de nos amis ! Piscine bien intégrée dans le champ, eau très claire, et banquettes parfaites pour des bains de soleil Enfants ravis : un de nos enfants a fait ses premiers pas dans la grande galerie ! On a visité Limoux et Carcassonne ; on est allé à Gruissan plage et les enfants se sont baignés. On a regretté de ne pas avoir réservé en juillet pour le Festival de la Cité de Carcassonne et le feu d’artifice qui est parait il spectaculaire ! On reviendra avec nos amis.

Superbe !

Accueil à la fois chaleureux et discret. Très grande maison (à 10 PERSONNES, on était très au large, et on aurait pu être facilement 15 ou 16) qui est restée dans son jus (meubles de famille, décors d'origine un peu décrépis, escalier à vis, belles cheminées, photos…). On avait vraiment l'impression d'être reçus dans la famille du propriétaire. 2 salles de bain avec une grande baignoire à pied. Grace au beau temps, et alors qu'on n'était qu'en juin, on a pu se baigner dans la piscine où les enfants n'ont pas arrêté de plonger. On connaissait déjà un peu la région : on est montés à Montségur; bien sur Carcassonne et on a fait de belles affaires dans une brocante recommandée par le propriétaire. Très belle adresse par rapport à ce qu'on voit d'habitude, mais une semaine dans cette région, c'était un peu court. On prévoit de revenir .
