Fabulous 3 week stay at this spacious, gorgeous, quirky well equipped home. So peaceful, surrounded with wildlife. Deer and wild boar spotted in the grounds as well as birds. Whether lying out by the pool or having brunch or dinner on the terrace, it was fabulous. We had friends join us for the last week, so a great place to socialise. Patrick looked after us, and we had contact with the owner if needed, it wasn’t. Albi is well worth a visit Carcassonne and Mazamet too. There is a supermarket close by in Saint Pons Du Thomiere.
